Why Go to Flea Markets?
People congregate in large numbers.
People feel comfortable talking about spiritual things while in public places.
Hearts are open to input.  A person who might be defensive at their front door, will be more open out in the public.
In a commercial atmosphere, people have the notion that an exchange of ideas is possible.  Like being on neutral territory.  In actuality, they will be on your turf and you have a lot more freedom to speak up for Jesus Christ.

TOP

How does One Start?
Scout the local flea markets for the ones best attended.
Establish the cost per day or weekend.
Observe the flow of traffic and attempt to secure a booth in an advantageous place.  This is not as necessary as one might think.  God can bring them to you, if they are in the same building. 
Determine if the booth must be rented every week or can it be rented as you have time to devote.

TOP

What is Needed?
3 Door Board
3 Tables ($20 to $25 each) with spill-proof covers
6-8 Chairs (attempt to buy used chairs from a rental company)
Banner (Do not advertise your church)
Decision Cards
The Next Step Tracts
1 Canopy if Booth is outside
Tracts
Plastic Bins with Lids for storage and transporting

TOP

How is the Booth Operated?
Use Team Soul Winning: the 3+3+3= Seated Method with the Witness Pamphlet
Use the Decision Card Follow-up method
Have lots of free literature for PROSPECTS and NEW CHRISTIANS.  Keep the rest at home.
The rest is operated like a booth at a fair or festival.

TOP

Who can Help?
Anyone willing to just read a Witness Pamphlet to prospects.
The Greeting, Meeting and Seating is done by a Shift Leader familiar with the Seating Method, who passes prospects to Workers (hence Team Soul Winning).

TOP

What is the Experience Level?
Zero.
No prior experience is necessary.

TOP

Can I Sell and Soul Win?
No.
The best of intentions are often dashed on the rocks of making money.  Certainly, everyone should be a good witness when selling.  But very few can soul winning and sell at the same time.

Testimony

Bianca      15

"Jesus became my personal Saviour"

At the Potato Festival in Pearsall, TX, Bianca came to the booth with another girl who was already saved. We asked if she knew for sure that she was saved.  She said no.  We asked, if we could show you how to be saved, not only would you like to see it, but your friend here, would really like for you to see it. Wouldn't you.  The friend nodded and Bianca sat down.

She asked all the right questions and displayed all the right concerns. Bianca joyfully asked the Lord to save her.

Do you know for sure if you are saved?  Could it be that you think you know for sure?  If you could be shown how to know for sure,  you would like to just see it,
wouldn't you?

Are you certain you are saved?
Yes          No

"...this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians, not on the religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  For this reason people of other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity and freedom to worship here." 
Patrick Henry
