Gage will be hosting a Go Tell crusade, beginning Sept. 9 through Sept. 12, at the Citizens Bank Field/Finley Stadium. These meetings will be every night at 6 o'clock. These crusades are a part of the Go Tell ministry; these events feature popular Christian artists, testimonies of hope and inspiration and a gospel message that is clear and engaging.

All students, faculty, staff and members of the community are welcomed to join each night as Gage leads.

Gage dedicated his life to full-time ministry in 1986, giving up his potential career as a football coach for Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas.
