Sunbelt Ag Expo 2010

The 2010 edition of the Sunbelt Ag Expo is now history, but now without new history being written.  Although it seemed the crowd was down again this year an estimated 7000-8000 made it through our tent October 19-21.  Whether they came to have their face painted, shoot an arrow at a target, receive a balloon sculpture or listen to some great gospel music they were warmly welcomed and heard about the Lord Jesus.

Joining us this week were faithful partners Legacy Outdoor Ministries (Kyle Woodfin and his family); Georgia Baptist Disaster Relief (Carl Lunsford and Mary Bradley); my good friend Andy Hall "Cousin Arthur and Campers on Mission. 

Three of our Southwest GA Associations took the lead on various days (Thomas Co/Mercer Associations; Colquitt Co. and Grady Co. Baptist Associations).  Special thanks to William Blosch, Terrell Ruis and John Paul Hasick.  Also thanks to the other associations of the Southwest GA Region for their financial support.

We enjoyed having Georgia Baptist Historical Society (George Houston); Discipleship Ministries (Alan Folsom and Jonathan Jordan); Extreme Outdoors (Jeff Dever and Stacy Dyer); Giving Back Ministries (Travis Branch) for the first time.  I think they will be back.

Keith Wise, pastor of Barney Baptist Church led our Faith Bracelet ministry which the Lord used to bring 11 people to Himself.  We praise God for these new brothers and sisters in the kingdom.
