At the Hospital
From RufusH: I went to Mercy Medical Center to be with Rick And Christy Scheck on Tuesday. Rick was having surgery that day. I waited with Rick and Chisty in the pre-op section of the hospital. We were having a great time of fellowship around the Word. Rick told me about their recent vacation. He said he passed out about 40 tracts! Wow! One led to a conversation with a lady at the hotel desk.

Scott and Elliott at the park
From ScottW: Here is a gospel story from Labor Day at Tuscora Park. Elliott and myself went to the park about 10 minutes before noon to play some mini-golf. It did not open until noon so we saw a young man sitting on a bench alone listening to an mp3 player with headphones. We sat beside him and I started talking with him. I gave him a million dollar bill and asked him if he ever thought...
Luke - on the bus
From LukeK: So, after the last bell rang to say school was over, I headed to the bus. When I got there, my usual seat was taken, so I was directed to a seat beside a 7th grader. After sitting for a couple minutes, I prayed and asked God for some courage to talk to him. I started by asking, “Hey, what’s your name?” He responded, “What’s YOUR name?” I told...
Fair Stories - Pastor Hofelt
From RufusH: Last night was nothing short of incredible. I went out to the Fair and paired up with Alan Vaughn. It was powerful from the start. But I want to focus on a huge lesson I learned.
I was standing in the parking lot where several of us met. I saw a number of teens across the road so I went across the street to talk with them. I said, “Hey guys I know the economy is bad so...
Fair Stories - Matt
From MattB: WOW! That’s the best description I can come up with for how God worked yesterday! In fact, His work began way before we ever set off for the fairgrounds! It was obvious that the devil was hard at work trying to prevent us from going for the God, but as the Lord Jesus said…”And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive “(Matt 21:22). You might want to...
Fair Stories - Doug and Rick
From DougK: What an incredible night. Rick Bevington and I got to go to the lost with the Law and the Gospel. As soon as we started out, we were able to get into a couple of conversations with some groups of kids before even getting to the fair. One kid on a bike was very engaged, said he would consider these things and we said we would pray. A couple of young guys before the fair were not...
Fair Stories - Brian and Brooke
From BrianA: I had several great conversations tonight sharing the gospel. We split up into 2’s, so it was Brooke and I. My first conversation with 2 young men named David and Justin (16 and 17yrs old) went very well. They were very surprised that their good works weren’t going to be worth much on Judgment Day. After taking them through the Law and the courtroom scene, they knew they...
