Reaching Future Leaders at the Louisiana State FFA Convention – by Susan and Art Free

Art and Susan Free share the Gospel with Louisiana FFA students during the 2026 Louisiana State FFA Convention in Alexandria, Louisiana. Through the wordless Gospel presentation, they engaged young people in meaningful conversations about God’s plan of salvation and the hope found in Christ.

Art and Susan Free partnered with Jeff Goss at the 2026 Louisiana State FFA Convention, held at the Riverfront Center in Alexandria, Louisiana. The annual event brought together more than 200 FFA chapters from across the state, with approximately 2,000 students, advisors, and guests in attendance.

Throughout the convention, the team had the privilege of engaging with many young people and visitors who stopped by their booth. The event provided a wonderful opportunity to connect with the next generation of agricultural leaders and share the hope found in the Gospel.

The Gospel message was warmly received by those who visited the booth. Many students and guests took time to listen and interact with the wordless Gospel presentation, which clearly communicates God’s plan of salvation through visual symbols and illustrations. The simplicity of the presentation opened doors for meaningful conversations and allowed attendees to easily grasp the message being shared.

It was encouraging to see so many young people respond positively and show genuine interest in spiritual matters. Each conversation was a reminder of the importance of being present where people gather and making the most of every opportunity to share God’s love.

Art and Susan Free, alongside Jeff Goss, minister to students and guests at the 2026 Louisiana State FFA Convention. Together, they welcomed visitors to the booth, shared the Gospel message, and planted seeds of faith among the next generation of agricultural leaders.

We thank the Lord for the open hearts encountered during the convention and for the opportunity to sow seeds of faith among these students, advisors, and guests. Please continue to pray that the truths shared will take root and bear lasting fruit in the lives of those who heard the Gospel message.
