2009 West Fest Parade

Thanks for praying! The Lord was good and gave us great weather for the parade. OK, OK--it may have been a little hot for some of us (especially us bald guys)...but this is Fargo, so we're not complaining. He also was good to provide safety during setup and on the parade route itself.

JoAnna, Julia, and Leanna did a great job decorating the float. Matt, Andrew, and Harry went above-and-beyond by hauling the candy and tracts from the various cars to the float staging area. Thanks also to Craig and Katie for the use of their vehicle and trailer. Both worked out really well!

In all, we distributed just over 5,800 pieces of literature and 775 gospel CDs! Just for fun, I did a little math. Given the 75 minutes we were on the parade route, we passed out 88 items per minute which equates to just under 1.5 items per second! 

May the Lord bring the increase and the fruit in His perfect timing and for His greater glory!

2008 West Fest Parade

While work did continue on the building project today (I'll update with the progress on Monday's post), the highlight of today was the West Fest Parade.

We went to the parade armed with 5200 gospel CDs (primarily Highway to Heaven by Jabe Nicholson), 5000 tracts, and about $250 worth of candy!

In the end, we distributed about 4000 CDs and about the same number of tracts. We're now prayerfully leaving this material to the working of the Holy Spirit. Pray with us that the increase would come, and that the glory would be His!
