My daughter and I attended the Ladysmith Festival of Lights tonight which is about 30 minutes south of my parents' home where we are visiting for a couple of days. I hadn't been in probably 17 years and the last time I attended, there were probably 5,000 people there. The festival has grown considerably and I was astounded to find out that there were over 20,000 people in attendance.
I was basically on my own as my 11 year old daughter is painfully shy and refused to help, but I did manage to pass out several hundred tracts tonight. I had the Santa 50,000 bills. I'd just walk up to people and ask if they had their Santa Bucks yet and of course they'd say no and I'd hand each of them one. I think most thought it was a coupon for free stuff and if they asked I'd tell there the true meaning of Christmas is on that back and that it often gets overlooked this time of year. I'm kicking myself for not buying more...but I had no idea I'd be attending the festival until it was too late to order more. I handed out some IQ test cards too, but those were harder to distribute at this event.
There are huge opportunities there and I'm hoping by next year we'll have an E-team in place to travel down there next year. Tonight I'm going to pray that some seeds will be planted when people find them in their pockets over the next few days and actually begin reading them. I praise God for such a wonderful opportunity and NO RAIN! (In my part of the world...THAT is HUGE!)

About Me
- Katie
- I am a born again Christian (there is no other kind) who is passionate about the gospel. I believe in the basic evangelism principles of "Law to the proud and Grace to the humble". I seek to share the gospel wherever my Lord takes me. I am seeking to connect with others who are eager to share the Law and the Gospel in various places around north Vancouver Island, Way of the Master style. Yes, it is scary...but it is effective. We are commanded to share the good news of the Gospel and if we love God and if we love people, we MUST share our faith in a BIBLICAL manner...just like Jesus did! I thought that because I was heavily involved in my church, attended regularly, tithed, and I BELIEVED in Jesus that I was saved! There is much more to it. I had not repented (turned from) my sin. As soon as I realized that I was a wretched blob of filth, I fell to my knees, repented and put my life in the hands of Jesus. I can feel God's transforming presence daily in my life. I am excited about each day and what new opportunities it may bring. If you are interested in teaming up for some evangelism activities, please email me: shutterkat@gmail.com
