Church & Ministry

Has your church ever had a booth at a state or county fair? When I was growing up, the Minnesota Baptist Association would set up a booth each year at the Minnesota State Fair, and my church would provide people to staff it on one of the days of the fair. I’m not sure why they stopped, but it probably had to do with either cost or difficulty finding people to man the booth. I can think of a few goals a church might have in mind when setting up a booth. Evangelism is one, of course.

Not everyone accepts that the Old Testament “revivals” were all that deep, and many do not accept that they are a model for the church (or the present form of the Kingdom). Some look at the subject of “revival” as more of a national thing, when believers experience a time of special commitment and lost people embrace Judeo-Christian morality.

I need some help from those of you who can think better and faster than I can about such things. Our mission conference theme is, “Enlarge Our Vision, Lord.”

I need a verse that will speak to the prayer, “Lord, help us to see our part in your work of redeeming the lost.”

Please do not recommend Proverbs 29:18 for obvious reasons.

Thank you

I am wondering what is the best way (books and articles) to learn about JW and the differences (Holy Spirit and the like) between us and them. I have evenaglized to the unsaved, which is much harder than someone that knows (a semblance) of a bible, but I know they have huge theological errors.

So I would like some books or articles to learn about JWs and their beliefs.

Thanks!
