State Fair Booth

I have a friend I know personally, who put this on his FB page:
"Since 8/20, the Amazing Grace soulwinning booth at the NYS Fair headed up by Buckley Road Baptist and 10-13 participating churches - as of last night 170 souls received the gift of Eternal Life!"
The Fair is for 13 days = 12/day = 1/hour (Open 0900-2100)

I trust these are genuine conversions, but I am concerned this could be a "1-2-3- Repeat after me"
On the FB page, I did make a statement about that I trust that all these folks are be linked up with a Bible believing church.

No real question here - any comments?

If it is anything like the fair ministries from 30-50 years ago, if anyone was willing to give their information, they should be contacted by one of the 10-13 participating churches.

I fully agree - I trust its not just a "numbers game"
However, those 10 or so churches are probably within a 40 mile radius of Syracuse - but the Fair does draw folks from Buffalo, Binghamton, Potsdam, ec.

I have a personal friend who is a pastor of one of the "fellowshipping" churches. This is his response to me from fb:
"everybody that is reached through the Amazing Grace Fair ministry and that turns in their contact information is referred to a King James Bible preaching and teaching Independent Baptist Church for follow-up. Buckley Road BC does an amazing job at this with the contacts. If the people that come in the booth don't fill out a card (some because they just don't want too, some because friend or parent etc pulled them out) all we can do is pray for the name. I had those ones at least give me their names when I was there so we could pray for them. They are also sent Bible lessons if they fill out the card. Many gave email not physical addresses, but that does help too."
