HOW TO FISH...at the farmers market

Brothers and Sisters:
 IT"S THE WEEKEND!  A welcome relief for many! What are you planning to do this weekend; are you going to spend time doing Gods work...I hope so! We have our farmers market this weekend, and what a blessing! One of the hardest things to do when you open air is to draw a crowd. A farmers market,sporting event, or conference is a "READY MADE" gathering of "FISHES" I have found that in "farmers market" fishing, I start with handing out tracts.. The vendors love them, and people are already in a "I'll take that" mode. So, handing them a tract.."HEY,DID YA GET ONE OF THESE" most people are pretty receptive, If you go to the food vendors, many times there will be a line, and your prospects are better for 0ne-on-one. I compare it to fishing in moving water( walking down the street) and finding a fishing hole(those waiting in line to buy). I find that many times people have been found sitting on the curbs between vendors, and can be easily approached...courage my friends...courage. The down side to this evangelism site, is that it can be very busy, very loud and quite intimidating. Just remember that our Lord will guide us to who HE wishes us to witness to, and we just need to be faithful to step out! Let me know how your week/weekend went. And stay tunes for the upcoming podcast! Until all have heard!
