The CFI UK Resources Stall was well laid out and set
up in a very good location where there was a steady
flow of visitors. There was a good selection of CFI
UK resources and free literature on offer and as we
were the only Israel-focused ministry in the EXPO,
several enquirers were genuinely curious. It was quite
encouraging to see that many of these enquirers were
young people with an interest in Israel and a desire
to learn more. I was able to engage in conversation
with a few people, signing some up to our mailing list
and giving away free literature to many. There were
some purchases of resources and the most popular
books seemed to be ‘A Fresh Understanding of Israel’,
‘The Jewish Wedding and the Bride of Christ’ and ‘A
Short History of the Holy Land’. The Rose Publishing
pamphlets were also very popular.
The weather was beautiful, perfect for the many festival
goers. I did manage to walk around the grounds
and take in the ‘sights’ and ‘sounds’ of this wellattended
festival. The music was loud and varied, not
to mention the numerous food stalls. I particularly
enjoyed a very ethnic ‘jerk chicken’ wrap while sitting
at a table with a group of young people who were
determined to take in all that this festival had to offer.
After a nice break for lunch, I returned to the CFI UK
Resources Stall and had a few more interactions with
visitors. There was a consistent stream of people
throughout the day and I’m sure that many were either
challenged to learn more about God’s plan for Israel or
encouraged to continue in their support.
All in all, a day well spent!
