The Brookings (Ore.) Church formed an Outreach Committee as a result of their pastor's attendance at a Leadership Conference in Grants Pass last spring with other church leaders. The newly formed committee decided to staff a booth at the Curry County Fair, July 22–25. The Gold Beach (Ore.) Church also participated in the event.

More than 1,000 free copies of The Passion of His Love by Ellen G. White were handed out. Bottles of water were also given to Curry County fairgoers. Story booklets, erasers and stickers were available for children. Because the movie, The Passion, was still fresh in their minds, people of all ages readily accepted the books.
