Penrith Show - July 2023

Travelling to the Show in the rain to a Showground which was a sea of mud, David and Lilly had already spent the morning sharing with a good number of visitors.

My first conversation was with a District Councillor who I had not spoken to for a number of years and never showed any interest in God as it was against her natural instinct, she accepted the leaflet Purpose for Life and Need our Prayers.

A young lady from Alston who occasionally attended church but knew little of the New Birth listened as I explained the words of Jesus “You must be Born Again.”

I then had an interesting discussion with a vet from Alston who was believing in evolution, it was a joy to share about the God of Creation and salvation.

‘G’ from Newcastle was so open and listened as I explained God’s way of salvation, taking away a number of leaflets including God’s Word.

Penrith Show despite the rain also proved a great opportunity to meet farming friends from Kirkby Stephen area and share God’s love. What a privilege to share Jesus even in the mud and rain.
