Almost Arrested

This past Saturday at the Hendersonville Apple Festival we were almost arrested for passing out gospel tracts. We have been involved in our festival ministry for three years. This is the first time that we have had any problems. The day started out wonderful. We got the chance to meet and talk to many of the fine people of Henderson County. We were having a great time and enjoying ourselves when a festival official ran up to us and demanded that we stop passing out tracts. He appeared to be mad for some reason. Then he ran to a police officer and started complaining. I was told that I was in violation of a city ordinance and would be arrested if I continued. Not being sure of the law we stopped and left the festival. What a sad day! Needless to say, from now on we will be checking with local officials to see if we need a permit. Next year in Hendersonville we will return with permits in hand and with around a hundred friends to assist us. We will count this all joy and regroup and do it again soon. Please pray for us as we continue to reach the lost. Please pray for us. This is the first time that we have run into this kind of thing. Can they make us stop?
