Good News at the Suffolk Show – and beyond
A change in their constitution now allows The Good News Stand team to take the gospel to locations other than the Suffolk Show.
Chairman, Charles Riddleston says “We want to go to as many venues as possible, so your ideas (and, of course, prayers/donations) as to where we could go would be appreciated. If you do have suggestions, please do get back to me about this.”
The team had a stand at the South Suffolk Show near Bury St Edmunds on Sunday 8th May. This was a much smaller affair than the one at the Suffolk Show, but the ethos was the same as ever - to promote and celebrate the gospel of Jesus Christ. The weather stayed kind, although a little blustery at times and sunshine was enjoyed for most of the day. A good number of folk were spoken to and many gospel tracts given out.
Charles again “We’re considering applying to attend more country type shows, indeed, we’ll go almost anywhere to meet the public and share the good news of our Saviour. For example, I can tell you that The Good News Stand will be ‘exhibiting’ at the Eye Show on August 28th and 29th.”
“As with anything else, the work costs money. The more we do, the more we have to pay out in terms of literature etc. and site fees. We are financed only by donations; so, if you feel that you’d like to contribute to the spread of the gospel, we’d be most grateful to receive any sum from you. Cheques should be made payable to The Good News Stand.”
The team will be at the Suffolk Show on 1st and 2nd June, on Stand 364 and invite all Network Ipswich readers to drop in and have a cuppa with them.
