Bedford Trade Fair

Well this is the weekend of the Bedford trade fair. It is an annual event that puts all the area businesses in one place and they give out free stuff, information, and have raffles. I'll be working at my sister- in-law's table. She has a ministry called G.E.R.T. Ministries. God's Emergency Response Team. We support local homeless, elderly, hungry, and even an animal shelter. We also travel to disaster sites to assist the victims in their time of need. This has involved fires, floods, tornadoes, and hurricanes. I personally have been to Florida (Hurricane Charlie), West Virginia (Fire), Ohio (floods, tornadoes), and locally for food and gifts deliveries and volunteering at an animal shelter cleanup. I also help advertise, pack for trips, make up literature, and any other odd jobs that help out.
This is two whole days standing telling people all about the ministry. Loooong days. We usually get a few people that are interested. We also get to entertain the kids with a game and a person dressed up in a costume. At least we make them remember us.
Set up took three hours. Now the standing and greeting part. I prayed for us to impact our area so more people see what we're all about. The more people know the more they'll want to get involved. (money or physically)
