The Spring Fling is a yearly event in Fair Haven, VT. Its held on the Saturday of memorial day weekend. The event host a variety of vendors, from artisans to food to flea market dealers. It pulls in a lot of people from around the area which makes it a perfect place to have a Evangelism booth.
I was joined this year with the ladies group of Fellowship Bible Church. They passed out free water with Church info on the bottle.
My booth encompass a 10x10 tent with a six foot table, tracts and gospels of John. It was a nice day with plenty of sunshine. I met a lot of people gave away the literature i had and led two children to the Lord. The ladies free water was a great draw for people to stop at the booth. Overall I think it was a great success

Do What I Say
You ever notice that we Christians are an odd bunch? Let me give you an example.
We cannot live the Christian life apart from Gods ever present guiding hand. Ive never met a Christian who believed otherwise. Even when we pray God Is there teaching us assuring us. We pray to the Father, in the power of the Holy Spirit,in the name of Jesus, oh yes God is there in prayer. Our walk is steeped in submission to Gods will found in the scriptures. Along about now you may be asking yourself this isn't odd and your right. However what is odd is when we expect non-believers to act like Christians when they don't have God to guide them as we do. I think our time is better spent sharing the gospel than trying to reform a unbeliever. I'm not saying you cant be politically active but ones first duty is to make disciples not clean up the devils world.

Is The Gospel Free?
What happened to the gospel being free? Now a days we add things to it
,such as "you must turn from sin before you can believe". Or how about back filling the gospel with if you don't remain committed you were not really saved to begin with even worse that you had lost your salvation.
I've herd knowledgeable Evangelist say you have to do two things to be saved repent, turn from sins, then believe. What happened to Faith alone in Christ alone? The Gospel of John is the book on Evangelism (John 20: 30-31) and never says you have to repent let alone turn from your sins.
I know people will take offense at this and thats okay i plan to continue or update this post from time to time. In the mean time take a hard look at the Gospel of John again. Look again at (John 3: 16, 36, 6: 47, 9: 35-38) just to name a few. well thats all for now, like i said i will revisit this issue from time to time.
ps-sorry for the grammar im not so good
