It sneaked up almost without our noticing......
the 5000th salvation of Inside the Box!!! Praise God, Praise God, Praise God! It happened at about 6:45 p.m. today, July 26th, 2012 at the Isabella County Fair in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. It all began back in Waterford, Mi in 2008 when Pastor Jeff Walters (Charity Baptist) told Pastor Tom Miller (First General Baptist) of a job he used to have as an evangelist at County Fairs in Ohio. He explained the 'box' system and how they were able to lead people to the Lord. Pastor Miller was excited about the idea and the two pastors began to plan to set up a tent at the Oakland Co. Fair in Michigan. That first year saw 527 salvations. Since then there have been a total of 14 Fairs or Events and at least 8 Churches or ministries involved, countless workers and prayer warriors (Click on
Salvations page to see a list of participating churches/ministries.)
Pastor Jeff & Pastor Tom want to thank and Praise the Lord for all the team effort to build God's Kingdom.
