It’s summer again and that means fairs and farmers’ markets! And as we all know, fairs and farmers’ markets means lots of people in one space—the kinds of places that Jesus and the apostles did much of their work. So, taking advantage of this splendid opportunity, Grace Fellowship is having a booth three times this month at the Santa Rosa Downtown Market. We’ve already done two events, and the last one will be tomorrow evening. It’s an amazing time of healing prayer, encouraging words, and sharing the Love of Jesus Christ. A lot of people have been touched every time we have been there (or, I should say, every time GOD has been there!!).

I have an interesting testimony to share: every week we were placed next a food booth. This meant that, unfortunately, people seemed generally more attracted to eating dinner than investigating what we had to offer. There were a few periods when everybody walked by quickly and scarcely looked at our sign. But Jesus is ALL-POWERFUL, as we know, so every time we had a dead period I prayed that God would bring in the Lost and Hungry so that we could share His healing love with them. Sure enough, every time we would pray like that, about a couple of minutes later we’d get a flood of people coming in, enough to fill up the booth! And this didn’t just happen once. It happened EVERY TIME WE PRAYED. Don’t you just love the way He helps us? We weren’t doing our ministry alone—He was at the center of it all!

This is the way we had our booth set up: we divided it in half with a curtain. In one half, I had a massage chair and was giving free chair massages for about 10-15 minutes for each person. And considering how so many people are tight and stressed out these days, I was glad to give my services, and I could feel them relax and let go of their stress as I massaged them. Then I’d encourage them to get spiritual healing too by going to the other side of the tent for prayer (I didn’t that every time which was bad of me—I apologize). But several people did go over to the other side…and that part was better than any massage!

My friend Rosemary, who’s also a Certified Massage Therapist, helped out with the massage in the later part of the evenings, and I’d like to take this time to thank her for volunteering.

So, again, our final date will be Wednesday, July 30th, on Fourth St. just in front of Thai House. If you’d like to learn more, call Kathy White at: 707-545-6676.

And here are some cool photos I took, too…
