We Need Your Prayer For Our Summer Ministry

This has been such a busy and blessed week!  I don't even know where to begin, so instead I'd just like to tell you about a ministry today that my church is involved in.  We need prayer this summer.

We got started 4 years ago in 2008.  The idea was simple, set up a tent in a local fair and ask the passers by if they knew where they were going when they would die using a simple viewfinder and box (hence the ministry name). If the answer was no, then take an opportunity to share the Gospel.


The question was, would people stop by? Would they care to listen? Would they respond to the Gospel?

Outside the tent

Not only did people stop by, but they lined up to look inside the box!

Answering the Question

Not only were they lining up to see "the question," but they wanted to come inside the tent to find out the answer too.

That first year laypeople from both churches shared the gospel with people from every walk of life.


And lives were changed! God brought 527 to His salvation in less than one week! Glory Hallelujah!

Could it truly be that simple, asking people if they want to go to heaven, then telling them the Gospel? The fact of the matter is most people don't know where they will go when they die. And even in this day and age people are still desperate to find out how they can go to heaven.

God has used this ministry to now reach thousands with the gospel. Inside the Box Fair Ministry has now been to over a dozen fairs in multiple states and two countries.

The setup is always the same. Two boxes are there with a viewmaster in the top. By looking into the first box the passer by sees the question, "If you died today are you 100% sure you will go to heaven?" If they are NOT able to positively answer we invite them to look into the second box which has John 14:6 inside.  (If you're not sure of this answer please take a moment to read my testimony.)

As of the end of 2011 in just 4 years, God has used this ministry and half a dozen or so churches to bring His salvation to 3765 souls!

It is this ministry's vision to continue to expand through the help of the local Bible Believing and preaching church into more fairs throughout the nation and world.

People need to know the Gospel, they need to know that Christ died for them. We must tell the world there is a way that they may go to heaven. Will you help us? Will you tell them? Will you pray?

If you are interested in evangelizing at a fair in your area, we would love to train you. Please contact me and I'll send your information along to the right people, because the fields are ready for harvest the Lord just needs His servants to reap.









Will you learn along with me? Let's encourage one another.

  1. Sounds like a very fruitful ministry. That's really a blessing to see something with those kind of salvation results. I pray that God will continue to bless your efforts and continue to open hearts to the questions and answers available. Thanks for sharing on B&BB. I also pray you have a pleasant week. Gail

  2. WoW! Praise the Lord! This is a fantastic ministry. Go in the strength of the Lord girl and He promises His Word will not return unto Him void. "Woo hoo!" You've lifted my heart this morning to the great things God can do when we seek to bring Him glory. Go girl!
