Flowertown Festival Outreach – Summerville, SC

Reaching Thousands with the Gospel in the Heart of South Carolina

Each year, as the Browns travel back to New York, they make a meaningful stop in Summerville, South Carolina, to participate in the Flowertown Festival—one of the top 20 events in the Southeast. This annual outreach event has become a tradition, with friends from the North joining the effort for a full week of ministry.

The Flowertown Festival draws an impressive crowd of around 250,000 attendees, filling the streets with families, food vendors, and local artisans. In the midst of the bustle, the Fellowship of Christian Farmers International (FCFI) tent stood strong, offering a quiet space for spiritual conversations and Gospel sharing.

This year, 3,600 people stopped by the FCFI tent, making it one of the busiest events Region Eight participates in—second only to one other in size and scale. Our main picture on the front page captures just a glimpse of the sea of people moving along the vibrant streets of Summerville.

Here are some pictures from the event!

We are thankful for the many conversations, prayers, and seeds planted during this impactful event. Please continue to pray that the Word shared will take root and grow in the hearts of those who heard it!
