Texarkana Church Continues Fair Booth Ministry

TEXARKANA, TEX. – The personal ministries team at the Texarkana Seventh-day Adventist Church began its annual outreach ministry with a fair booth in September 2024. 

This successful ministry, led by Brenda Litchfield, began years ago with one booth at the Four States Fair in Texarkana, and it has become well known throughout the region. 

The church clearly identifies its name with a sign at the fair booth where the team, which includes volunteers from Texarkana Spanish Seventh-day Adventist Church, distributes literature in English and Spanish and signs interested people up for Bible studies. They also provide a prayer ministry at the booth with the help of the church’s prayer coordinator, Sally Birl, who collects prayer requests as she receives them throughout the year.

Church volunteers follow up by mailing thank-you notes on church letterhead and a prayer book to those who visited the booth. Voice of Prophecy Bible studies are mailed out to those who requested them. 

Many local festivals and fairs now request the presence of the booth. This growing ministry now manages 13 different booths.
