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 witness for Jesus Christ.

TOP

How does One Start?
Scout the local flea markets for the 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)
Decision Cards
The Next Step Tracts
1 Canopy if Booth is outside
Tracts
Plastic Bins with Lids for storage and transporting
Ministry Banner
(Do not advertise your church.  Try to use something that catches the eye, but not tip off what you are doing. Example: Exchange Junk for Gold)

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 most other literature at home.
The rest is operated like a booth at a fair or festival.  A Soul Winner can do a lot of Witnessing.

TOP

Who can Help?
Anyone willing to just read a Witness Pamphlet to or with prospects.  Our Witness Pamphlet is designed to
* Relate the Gospel
* Bring the Witness to a close with a Prayer
* Warn the prospect of insincerity
* Give Assurance
* Point the prospect towards the help they need
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 win and sell at the same time.

Testimony

Barbara      55
Small Town in Kansas

A young man about 35 can by the booth and said he was sure of his salvation.  While we were talking to him, his mother came up and wanted to know what was going on, we took her through the 3 Door Unit and asked if she were sure she was born again.  She said, “No”.  Then we asked, “But if we could show you how you could be 100% sure, not only would you like to see it, but your son would really like for you to see it, wouldn’t you son?”
He said, "Yes."
She said, "Well, I don't know ..."
Then her son said, "Aw, come on Mom, what would it hurt?"
Then she said, "Well, OK."
She sat down, saw the Bible verses, and asked Jesus to be her Saviour.

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?  What would it hurt?

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."
