Indiana—Members of the Frankfort Church maintained a booth at the Clinton County Fair and had many memorable experiences. Frankfort members were encouraged as they visited with community residents.

The week included giving away back scratchers and applying smiley-face, temporary tattoos on children. In addition, bookmarks with a Bible verse on them and various literature pamphlets and books were also a huge hit. Many people took literature for themselves or family members.

Members found opportunities to share what Jesus means to us through a variety of experiences. "We spent time learning to work together as a team and how to be visible in the community. This was a great experience for our youth. Alexis Roark and Jeffery and Craig Pearson helped throughout the week. It's important to have our youth learn to work and witness within the community for personal growth," stated Derek Brant, Frankfort Church elder. He continued, "It helps them get a better understanding of how they can share their faith in many different ways."

Fifteen-year-old Jeffery said, "We had one guy, about 20 [years old], that kept coming back to our booth. I think he came back five or six different times. He was having a really hard time because he can't find a job and has two kids. He took every piece of literature we had. I think God is working on him. Oh yeah, we had a book give-away with five different books in a drawing. The name was pulled and arrangements were made to deliver the books. Guess who it was … it was him. I think God is really working to help this guy."

It is through these experiences that God has touched our lives spiritually.
