Each year as Fair Ministry approaches all the hard work that goes into the fair come flooding through my mind, i.e. hot days, 100 hours, sore feet and backs etc.. Whether, it is discouragement from Satan or just human nature I’m not sure. However, as the first people step into the tent those memories become distant and the focus is only on what God is doing in the hearts of men, women, boys and girls. We serve a great God who is doing an amazing work just down the road from the Church building….If you care to join us or want to just drop by to give a word of encouragement our ministry tent is located right beside the Skowhegan Fire department food booth and across from the sheep building. Please contact Jack Brake or reply to this message if you want to help and haven’t signed up or want to give a word of encouragement. Please continue to pray that many lives will be open to receiving Jesus today!
