It was an opportunity for people to learn, ask questions, and find ways to get involved in bringing the gospel of Jesus Christ to all people. Rows of booths were set-up focusing on different cultures, videos, and lots of information displayed including items from the everyday life of the people the mission was intended to reach. Over 30 booths were available with information showing that missions is for all seasons.
