Amerijericho Free Barter Market Ideas

Idea #1 Christians in churches are asking questions: "Why should kids of all ages become a member of Music City Revival?" "Will talking about Jesus be good for my church?" "Will the Amerijericho free barter market help us help others and be something that God will bless?" "How do I decide?"

Well, once a choice is made to either accept or reject this opportunity,
will success or failure of this project make you feel sad or glad? Will
hope for manifesting the Kingdom of God "on Earth as it is in Heaven" become stronger or weaker because of choices you make?

         Making friends with neighbors is a good thing
         Christians enjoy talking about Jesus when bartering
         Experiences at markets can lead to salvation of souls
         Fellowship can lead to spiritual unity in communities
         Free Barter Market donations can help neighbors
         Communication can be a positive force in all nations

Idea #2 When you decide to become a member of AFBM, you need to start making plans. The first thing to do is pick market dates for the year. The next thing is to select a good location. Depending on community rules that must be a part of your consideration, getting permits or whatever else might be required, a place will be needed that can accomodate people and vehicles. The church parking lot, a nearby ball field or park might be just fine.

Idea #3 Before working on plans, take a few minutes to mail your church photo, the pastor's name, address, market location, dates and regular church contact information to Music City Revival. We want to put your info on this web site. The next thing on your list of options should be how to organize
the event for the convenience of everyone involved. Maybe you will need shelter during rain -- either under tents or inside the church? Maybe free lunches for visitors with an appeal for donations would be nice?

Everyone Invited To Barter & Fellowship

This is HOWWEDOIT to keep all of us honest and happy: We honor a "1 Free & 9 Barter" rule! If you made ten of anything, donating one of something to our church helps you to help us.
You can barter with others to get whatever you want or need,
but we will sell or give stuff away to benefit friends in need.

Bring homegrown fresh or canned food, candy, pastries,
oil paintings, blankets, crafts of all kinds, candles, pottery,
clothing, and all kinds of bargain-bought items to barter.

If you have more stuff than you want...
Barter it for some stuff you really need!

Idea #5 Monetary transactions should be avoided except for sales or items that are donated. These funds might be helpful in covering your operational expenses. All unsold goods can be used to assist those in need of charity.
We all know that compassionate giving is better than greedy receiving -- and loving is better than ignoring. Even so, suffering friends need helping hands along with our prayers.

Idea #6 Getting media help when spreading the news about your market will increase potential for success. Volunteers can distribute church bulletins and press releases far in advance to make sure the public becomes aware. It will take word-of-mouth advertising to ultimately determine how many people show up at your market. As you can imagine, ideas to generate excitement in your community will be the most challenging part of making plans. Once the first free barter market has been organized successfully, we will know more about what to do or not do. Sharing info about market experiences on the message board will make it easier for all of us to make better plans.

Idea #7 Asking talented people to donate services will help promote interest. A graphic artist can create the original logo for your market. Copy writers, printers, food caterers, traffic directors, and reporters can play a role. When the public becomes aware of your free barter market plans, they will start thinking about attending if they have stuff that can be exchanged for other stuff they need or want.

Idea #8 The actual value of stuff to be bartered will be determined by the participants. One person with a blanket might be willing to swap for two rocking chairs or maybe twenty jars of honey? Another person with a bike might be willing to swap for a frog -- just to make a kid happy? Being a part of watching and listening to people interacting will be part of the fun. This is a good reason that it might be a good idea to plan something for those who just want to fellowship with the crowd. Other than making food and drinks available, providing places for conversation or playing games would be a way for church members to make new friends. Dedicated pastors are always looking for ways to increase church membership. Inspired sermons from behind the pulpit need ears to hear the Word of God.

Idea #9 Would you be glad or sad if this project fails? Please pray that the ideas found on our web sites under the name of Music City Revival will succeed in making Amerijericho and Free Barter Market a way to keep good things happening in all nations for Christians and all people.

Too many souls need to find Christ and too many hurting people need help. Everything about AFBM market plans should keep the "What Would Jesus Do (WWJD)" decision-making process in mind. We can't predict the future, but we do know that community unity can make survival possible when natural disasters, unemployment, homelessness, accidents, sickness
or terrorists upset the lifestyles of our families, friends and neighbors. If
the Body of Christ is to be a reliable representative of His Kingdom on Earth, shouldn't we be assisting people in need? Haven't we learned
that depending on the government is not wise?

Idea #10 Let your motivation for making this project a success be for the right reasons. None of us know for sure if these ideas will result in success
or failure unless we try. Maybe we should be wondering if Lord Jesus Christ will approve or disapprove of decisions to accept or reject what has been offered in this way? These special concepts can be emailed to leaders of churches and nations by members. Also, this information can be posted on Internet message boards. Do you believe people will choose to stand with Jesus on His side of the dividing line instead of with those who do evil?

Idea #11 Since we want to trust each other, and everyone who joins with us in this project, we need to remind ourselves that Christians need to be united for the sake of pleasing God. New members who support AFBM and are making free barter market plans are invited to click the links below!
