Most missionaries are asked to be equipped to setup up a booth if necessary.  Even if you plan to work with others, there may arise a special need.  If God so directs, you will need the following for a basic booth set up.  Some are provided by AGM and the rest you will need to purchase or borrow.

  • Three-door unit – provided by AGM
  • Smiley tracts, decision cards, Bible-club cards & Birth cert. – provided by AGM
  • “AGM Booth Instruction” document for non-missionaries – provided by AGM.
  • AGM  Banner/s – provided by AGM (need bungee cords or tie-straps for hanging)
  • 6 ft. Table for booth front with red table cloth (4 yds. of red 72” wide, washable felt sold at JoAnn’s Fabrics works well.)
  • 6-8 folding chairs and (2) optional card tables
  • Storage containers for tracts and ministry supplies
  • Writing pens & small clipboards if not using card tables

There are other items which are often used, such as a tent (optional – don’t buy a tent until you have to), table lights, clamp-on lamps for illuminating a tent at night, pencil cups, trash can, first aid kit, basic tools (hammer, screwdriver, pliers, tie straps, bungee cords etc.) Not all of these are essential; once you have gained a little experience you will discover what items you find important to you.

The approximate cost for all the items listed above (not provided by AGM) is about $200-$250. A tent (optional) can be purchased at a Sams Club for approximately $175.
