Medina County Fair, day 3
Posted by Jason Oesterling on July 31, 2008
I’m really enjoying this whole fair project. We’ve gotten a lot of good chances to talk with people about why we’re doing this. There seem to be a lot of people who say they would like to understand the Bible and learn more about God, but something about the church has been a turn-off (formality, hypocrisy, etc.). I’m always careful to tell people that they will find just as many hypocrites in this church we’re starting as anywhere else, but that we’re trying to create a place where people can be honest and open about where they’re truly at – not having to pretend, or to reach a certain standard before they’re accepted.
We’ve had 5 or 6 people tell us that they’ve gotten a door-hanger from us in the last couple days, which is pretty amazing since we’ve only done 8 neighborhoods so far, out of the 42 we’re aiming for. Hopefully the multiple touches will pay off. Here’s the door-hanger we’re using (click to enlarge):
