The Pennsylvania Northern Tier Chapter (PANTC) of the Fellowship of Christian Farmers International (FCFI) recently participated in the 2025 West Branch Home Builders Association’s Home Show, held at the Liberty Arena in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, from March 21 to 23, 2025. westbranchbuilders.org
This annual event brings together home builders and various home improvement companies to showcase their services and products to homeowners.
FCFI volunteers David and Sally Good, June Atherton, and Ed Terrel staffed the chapter’s booth throughout the weekend. They distributed approximately 100 Wordless Walking Sticks, 17 square yardsticks, as well as small crosses and Jesus magnets to attendees. Notably, they prayed with two individuals who committed their lives to Jesus during the event.
The PANTC continues its mission to share the Gospel at various events, including farm shows, tractor shows, RV shows, arts and crafts shows, and even gun shows.
The chapter remains dedicated to evangelism and community outreach, embodying the mission of the Fellowship of Christian Farmers International.
Below are some pictures of the event!

Another happy family gets their free walking sticks (and a free purple construction hat!) and the salvation message from FCFI witness Ed Terrel (blue shirt.)
When looking at the pictures of the show you can see the plush green carpet. It is held in an indoor soccer league arena. It is common at this event to have various vendors stop by to get a Wordless Walking Stick and find out about the ministry.
Four Bibles were given out at the show. We try to always have nice Bibles on hand to give out freely to whomever wants one.
These two young men are from the Pennsylvania College of Technology. PCT is a division of Penn State University. These two were helping to man the PCT booth and stopped by for their own Wordless Walking Sticks.
One of the vendor’s sons stopped by to see what the FCFI booth was doing. He is seen looking at one of the FCFI silicone bracelets. The FCFI silicone bracelets are different from any others I have ever seen. They have the Bible verses for each color on the inside of the bracelet. Many people like this. FCFI witness June Atherton is sharing the message.

The Pennsylvania Northern Tier Chapter (PANTC) had a fantastic time sharing Jesus Christ at the West Branch Home Builders Show. We are already looking forward to 2026!
God bless and thank you all very much for your prayer support during our show season.
