Taking the Gospel to the Marketplace

We’re grateful for the opportunity to take the gospel into the heart Cincinnati at Peddler’s Flea Market. This upcoming evangelism outreach is more than an event—it is an act of obedience to Christ and a joyful opportunity to make His name known.

Jesus told His followers, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation” (Mark 16:15). The marketplace has always been one of the most natural places for gospel conversations. It’s where people gather, talk, browse, and connect—and it’s exactly the kind of setting where the light of Christ can shine brightly.

At this outreach, we’ll be giving away free Bibles, Christian DVDs, and gospel-centered books. These resources are not the message themselves, but they point people to the true message—the good news that salvation is found in Jesus Christ alone. As Romans 10:17 reminds us, “Faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.” Our prayer is that God will use His Word to awaken hearts long after the flea market closes for the day.

This is an exciting time for believers to step out in faith and lovingly share the gospel. We are not called to argue or pressure, but to faithfully proclaim Christ with gentleness and respect (1 Peter 3:15). Some conversations may be brief, others longer—but every encounter matters. We trust that God is already at work, preparing hearts before we ever arrive.

Scripture tells us that unbelief is ultimately a spiritual issue. The apostle Paul wrote that “the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers” (2 Corinthians 4:4). That is why prayer is essential. We ask you to join us in praying that God would open blind eyes, soften hard hearts, and grant repentance and faith. Only the Holy Spirit can bring conviction and new life (John 16:8; John 6:44).

We also invite Christians to come alongside us—not merely as volunteers, but as worshipers. Evangelism is not a program; it is an overflow of gratitude for what Christ has done. Paul wrote, “The love of Christ controls us” (2 Corinthians 5:14). When we remember the mercy we’ve received, sharing the gospel becomes a joy rather than a burden. Our confidence is not in methods, materials, or numbers—it is in the power of the gospel itself, “for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes” (Romans 1:16).

Thank you for praying, supporting, and standing with us as we take the good news of Jesus Christ to Peddler’s Flea Market. May God use this outreach to bring eternal fruit, and may many come to know the Savior who gave His life so that sinners might live.
