The International Plowing Match was held on September 19-23 in Grand Valley, Dufferin
County, Ontario. A total of 68,336 visitors visited the Match. The Reformed Evangelistic
Outreach Committee, together with volunteers, set up a booth in the “Tent City.” Thousands of
tracts and calendars with Bible texts printed on them were handed out to the visitors. A wide
selection of books were made available to the visitors, with many being sold or handed out.
Many schools bussed their children to the IPM and many of them visited our booth. Bibles,
attractive bookmarks, and pens with Bible texts printed on them, were handed out to the
children. Most of the children that received a Bible didn’t know what a Bible was! On several
occasions a child would ask for a second Bible because, “My mother doesn’t have a Bible
either!” How blessed we are to have the Word of God in our homes, schools, and churches!
Let us remember in prayer all the children and adults who now have Bibles, calendars, and
tracts in their home. May God, in His grace and mercy bring many to salvation!
The International Plowing Match 2024 will be held at Lindsay Exhibition Grounds in Kawartha
Lakes from October 1-5, D.V.
