As one members of the group that organized the original JARSFEST 37 (a ham radio event were amateur radiio flea market) some years ago I decided to attend JARSFest 2026 at the new location in Selma, NC after missing the last view years of attending the event. I purchased.my indoor table originally to have a meet and greet other Parks on the Air (POTA) people and try to sell a few things I wasn’t using any more. Then the idea hit me I could hand out bibles Thanks to First Assembly The Possibility Church and my tell people about The Gospel Frequency. When I woke up at 3 o’clock AM on JARSFest day a thought hoy me make a sign Mark My Words Study Bible Ask your Bible questions here. For this I had to turn on my computer type the sign and print out a couple. By the time I got thst ready it was time to get ready to go eat breakfast and pack the computer. I do not remember ever passing out Bible at an event before especially the person that organized it. I thought what if someone asked questions what if someone wanted to actually ask Jesus to come into their life. What if. Satan pops in and says I can’t do this because I am not like my other friends that do this. I am not really saved. I overcame the objections and made the two hour drive to Selma. I displayed my astrophotography on the table and that drew some attention. I forgot to bring my QSL cards a post card that has my name and call sign on it. I forgot my other business cards. I just brought The Gospel Frequency business cards I got last week. So I had to promote The Gospel Frequency with whoever wanted to talk to me about amateur radio or astronomy. Why is that different for me? Let’s go back in time sometime after moving to Wendell North Carolina from Ralph I2016? I took my first ambulance ride. I was suffering from extreme dizziness and couldn’t get any comfort. Last time I went to the emergency room we waited for hours and I got better without seeing anyone this time i decided to have my wife 911 and get an ambulance to take me. We decided to go by myself and have my wife to stay home not knowing how long my stay would be. I got to the hospital and took me to get test done and I waited by myself for an MRI. My first MRI. It seemed like several minutes and I got to thinking what if they forgot about me. Then I thought what if it was my time? I was ok with that I knew I would be with Jesus but the thought came in most of my friends do not even know I am a Christian. And what have I done to tell people about Jesus. At that point the answer was very little. Gradually more and more friends would come to know my faith and last year Mark Gibson Ministries was started and thus year The Gospel Frequency was started.
About this event I did hand out several bibles and one person said his wife had an insurance office and they couldn’t get enough of them so asked for a few. One group of Christians game by and a lady said my Astronomy display was a great draw
I was able to hand out my business cards and told everyone about “Mark My Words”. Parallel Study Bible
