Fair Testimonies
Praise the Lord for the eyes which are opened to the grace of God through His Son Jesus Christ. When someone makes a profession of faith at a fair, they are asked to complete a "decision card" (completely voluntary) which has their name, address, age, etc., which is given to local Baptist churches for follow-up. The new believers are asked to write in their own words on the back of the card an explanation of "what just happened?" Below are listed a sample of testimonies received over the years at fairs and festivals around the country. These testimonies will touch your heart, enjoy them. Praise the Lord for what He has done in these peoples lives.
