The Central New York Zone's primary mission outreach, is the New York State Fair booth, which continues to shine amidst an environment of "free enterprise." The booth ministry, which began in 1950, provides Christian tracts, New Testaments and Children’s Scripture Activity books. Since 1971, over 56,000 New Testaments have been distributed at the New York State Fair. Since 1987, over 65,000 Children’s Scripture Activity books have been distributed. Of the four Children’s Scripture Activity books (the Gospels of Matthew, Luke, John and Acts), Luke has been translated into Spanish for Fair distribution and John has been translated into Russian and is used in other evangelism efforts.

Central New York Zone, Lutheran Laymen’s League and “CALLED” (Confessional and Liturgical Lutherans, Eastern District) is sponsoring Rev. Dr. Wallace Schultz, former Associate Lutheran Hour Speaker and current Evangelist for the Lutheran Heritage Foundation (LHF).

The theme, “Sharing Your Faith With Your Family”, will be an all-day event at Zion Lutheran Church, Owego, NY on Saturday, October 30, 2004. The day’s events will begin with registration at 8:45 a.m. and will end with the Divine Worship Service.
