One of our church members repairs and collects John Deere tractors. He and his four sons have 100 antique tractors. Each year, they invite the community far and wide to a festival that includes an antique and modern tractor parade. I was invited to pray publicly for the event, and we held an outdoor church service. People liked our church’s life-sized John Deere tractor photo booth with real tires and a steering wheel. Becke painted five tractor scenes, which we raffled off. We handed out invitations to our church service and kid’s gift bags that a ministry partner had filled with a Gospel tract, a magazine, candy, and toys. We talked to many people about Jesus and about First Christian Church of South Valley. Please pray for fruit from this significant outreach event.
