Ministering At The Graham Avenue Fair
Hi Ya'll it's me Ana, Pastor Ed's Wife making a guest blog appearance. I am here to talk about the Graham Ave Fair and here are some of the highlights:
- It's Saturday, May 17,2008 and we are getting ready to head out to the annual Graham Avenue Fair.
- It's about 10:30am and to no surprise Jimmy & Cooky Morales have already set everything up! Great Job!
- Thanks to our good friend Enrique that blessed up with a tent & a table! We were the only ones with this set up!
- Back up shows up, who's the back up? The U.T.C. East Coast Campus of course!
- Together we gave out over 1,000 flyers and got some good responses. Praise God.
- We rehearsed around the block in a playground of the project because the music was so loud that it went right though you, your whole body shook. I haven't felt that in a long time.
- FREE bibles and booklets were given out at our info booth and people were happy to know that it was for FREE.
- As we got ready to go on stage, I felt a little queasy because I had to introduce the choir and our church because Pastor Ed was at Mighty Men of Valor and so was Brother Pete.
- That's where I had to step it up. I have a great example of a Pastor so it flowed and it was crystal clear!
- Since the sound man wasn't ready we were able to tell about the miracle working power of Jesus Christ...Let me remind you that we never get to blast like that here! I called up Jimmy Morales, an ex-drug addict, ex-homeless man, ex-their, ex-con, ex-, ex-, ex-, you name it! So I called Jimmy on the SPOT, and a sister from the U.T.C. (go head Ruby).
- Almost forgot...Sister Cooky gave a great blast for Jesus since the sound man wasn't ready and made the Devil put his tail between his legs on that testimony!
- Then we sang our two songs, When I Call on Jesus and Declaration (This is It).
- The crowd was very receptive and we got through to them!
- As more bibles and flyers were passed out we then got ready to go home.
- On my way home with the U.T.C. a lady by the name of Millie saw my t-shirt and said that she was coming to church on Sunday. She said that this is the kind of church that doesn't tell you how to do your hair or nothing like that...I introduced myself as the Pastor's Wife and mentioned to her that I would be happy to see her in our service.
- The Lord reminded me that I said something very similar very long ago to a friend to brought me to Victory Outreach. As soon as I heard that I could wear earrings and pants I was sold. Little did I know that God was the one calling me back to Him, there at Victory Outreach.
- So we finished for the day, packed up and I walked to my home with uTC.
- Praise be to God, The name above every name was shouted out, sung about, testified about and exalted, THE NAME OF JESUS.
- Take care and remember JESUS loves you. He came to our place (earth) to take our place (on the cross) so we can live in his place (heaven)
The Graham Ave Fair was a great event,we received wonderful feed back and were able to speak to many people. We took a picture with the Brooklyn Boro President Marty Markowitz; and he gave me a Brooklyn pin.
I just received a message from his office that they want to keep contact with us and have us on the mailing list for events around the Boro of Brooklyn.
SOMEBODY GIVE JESUS SOME HIGH PRAISE.

Graham Fair was a blast. Felt a little nervous about going on stage and singing but once we were all up there it was like the power of God took over and we were sounded great. It was a wonderful experience. What I loved the most was when Jimmy, Cookie and Ruby testified it was awesome. Praise god
