TAMPA, Florida, Feb. 5 /Christian Newswire/ -- The world's leading internet evangelist, Bill Keller of Liveprayer.com, is one of the gold sponsor's of this year's Florida State Fair in Tampa. Over half a million visitors are expected to attend the twelve-day event that runs February 7th through the 18th.

 

Keller's contribution to this year's fair is a 5,000 square-foot tent on the midway where gospel music can be enjoyed throughout each of the twelve days and nights of the Florida State Fair.

 

"This is what we've been called to do," explains Keller, about his decision to make such a generous investment for the benefit of fair attendees. "Go into the marketplace and reach the lost and hurting with the hope and love of Christ."

 

The Live Prayer Gospel Tent will treat audiences to performances at 2PM, 5PM, and 8PM. Keller himself will be at the tent each day from 5PM through 10PM, sharing an inspirational message each evening after the 8PM music set.

 

"I couldn't believe the major churches and ministries in the Tampa area weren¹t overjoyed at the opportunity to have such a visible presence at a place where over half a million people will congregate for twelve days and nights," puzzles Keller. "I guess it¹s easier to preach to the choir than it is to reach out to save the lost. Their absence is a sad commentary on the priorities of the church today."

 

Keller announced that he will broadcast his TV program, Live Prayer with Bill Keller, on Monday, February 11th, through Friday, February 15th, at 10PM from the fair grounds. As well, Keller will provide live bonus coverage during those same nights from 8PM through 9:30PMof each evening¹s 8PM music set and the ministry that follows. Live Prayer with Bill Keller can also be seen live at www.liveprayer.com.
