OUR MINISTRY: We minister with Amazing Grace Mission, which is an Independent Baptist Mission, out of Dayton, TN. We set up booths at state and county fairs and tell people about the Lord Jesus. In the past we have only been able to do one fair in the state of Texas. That was the fair in Beaumont. For 1998 we have asked the Lord to let us see many souls saved in Texas. We have or will be applying to 23 more fairs in Texas. The mission board has asked Dick to head up that step of faith. So far, the Lord has blessed with contracts for 8 of the fairs applied for; Conroe, Galveston, Pasadena, Paris, Longview, Rosenberg, Gatesville, and Beaumont . In 1998 and 1999 we also did the Derrick Day Fair in Corsicanna, TX.

We are looking for soul-winners who are interested in witnessing at the fairs either part time or full time. If anyone feels led of the Lord to help in anyway, please contact us at : Click Here To Write Dick dsonier2@aol.com Click Here To Write Virginia DicksRib@aol.com
