Joy in the Simple Things

That’s Some Stunt with an FCFI Stick!

At the Martin County Fair in Southern Minnesota, we were blessed with more than just good weather and a great crowd—we shared in a lighthearted moment that brought smiles all around.

One visitor took one of our FCFI walking sticks and showed off a fun, creative stunt that quickly caught everyone’s attention. It was a simple act, yet it reminded us of something profound: God often uses the smallest and most ordinary things to spark joy, open conversations, and create unexpected connections.

Our walking sticks may seem like simple tools, but time and again, they’ve become instruments for ministry—helping us connect with people, share stories, and point others to Christ.

Moments like this remind us that laughter and fellowship are gifts from the Lord. Whether it’s through a kind word, a simple gesture, or even a playful trick with a walking stick, God is always at work drawing people closer to Him.

“The joy of the Lord is your strength.” – Nehemiah 8:10
