Sunbelt Ag Expo

The 2007 installment of the Sunbelt Ag Expo is now behind us. Although I do not have previous experience to compare it to in my opinion it was a great success due in large part to PEOPLE. Not so much the people who came through the tent, but PEOPLE like you who gave a day (or days), provided a ministry or supported us financially. Let me say thank you.

Because we do not keep a count of how many people come through our tent we can only estimate. We distributed 1500 New Testaments, 1,000 Invitation CD’s and numerous tracts. Campers on Mission served cups of cold water in Jesus Name and sample bags of popcorn were available.

Barbara Waldron and Marcus Flanagan were once again with us every day. Barbara painting the faces of children and teens, Marcus creating all sorts of critters from balloons in addition to opening and closing the tent every day.

Legacy Ministries under the direction of Kyle Woodfin once again partnered with us to provide the archery tent. Kyle, Alanna, and their children are real troopers who unselfishly serve wherever needed. This year the Weaver Believers were with us blessing our hearts with their unique music, smiling faces and willing hands. Paul, Chris and the rest of the Weaver family (like the Woodfin’s) are servants who did whatever we need them to do. Woody and Sarah Woodfin (Kyle’s parents) cooked hamburgers and hotdogs daily for our workers.

I want to thank Andy Cashwell, Terry Alligood and the Men’s Ministry from Mt. Olive Church in Moultrie for putting up and taking down the tent. A huge thanks is due Carl Felts from Hopewell Baptist for tent delivery.

I want to thank all of our associations for their financial support. We could not do it without you. Please continue to support us both financially and with volunteers. I know that for some of you that a presence at the Expo is not possible because it comes during the Annual Meeting Season, but we appreciate you doing what you can do.

Then there is the Norman Park staff. We definitely could not do it without them. They store, maintain, deliver, erect and tear down the stage that we use each year. They provide tables, chairs, lodging and other things that we need. To Brian, Tim, Mike, Norma Jean and everyone at GBCCNP….THANKS!!!!

Last but surely not least I want to thank my Ministry Assistant, Ann Tomlinson, who does more to get ready for this than I know and reminds my of the stuff that I need to take care of. I also want to thank my wife Phyllis for being there all three days and doing whatever she was needed to do.

Pray for us. I believe this is a great ministry that we want to make better. My expectation level for next year is already rising.
