Appleby Show - August 2022

Paul and Ron arrived early to park up the Van, our position on the field was not the best at the end of an avenue, although we did enjoy the shaded position on this really hot day.

During the day we were able to meet local people including families of Tony and Jean who attend Kirkby Stephen Evangelical Church.

 A local Radio Station was seeking to break the World record of the greatest number of people speaking in a given time.  John was able to make some comments about the Gospel and the reason why C.G.O.  was at the Show and gave leaflets to people as he waited to speak.  (They broke records).

Paul was able to help a lady from a local church who was not sure of the Bible teaching on LGBT issues among other verses he directed her to Romans ch.1.

Ron was able to spend good time with local folks he knew.

‘J’ and ‘J’ were Father and Daughter from Liverpool who John spent about 20 minutes sharing what it meant to be a “Born Again” Christian.  The daughter was really open and appreciated the chat and she was given ‘The Purpose of Life’ and other literature.

It was great to meet a young lady who used to attend the Young People’s get-togethers in K.S.E.C. and  had been living in Australia now back home to Cumbria with her little girl.  John encouraged her to attend the fellowship again and so blessed as she so appreciated meeting up.

The footfall was not great but the contacts we made were encouraging.
