Flying Under The Radar - Black Friday Evangelizing

This day started really, really early; I got up at 1:15am to be precise. I dressed warmly and grabbed my tract-pack and went pickup Ron, my evangelism partner.

We went to the Kohls in Snohomish, but by the time we pulled into the parking lot, it was pouring down rain and there were less than thirty people in line. We waited for a few minutes, but we became discouraged and left. I was ready to give up and took Ron home, but by the time we got to his house, the rain had stopped and we had second thoughts about giving up. So we drove to the Target and Best Buy stores in Arlington.

Since Target opened at 4am and Best Buy opened at 5am, we started with Target, at the end of the line (which was all the way across the front of the building).

We handed out tracts and had several good conversations with both Christians and nominal Christians. When we got to the front of the line, the security guard asked us what we were doing, and we told him we were handing out Gospel tracts. He said they didn't allow solicitation and we'd have to leave. I told him that we weren't soliciting, but that we had already handed everyone in the line a tract, and we left.

We went over to Best Buy and handed out another couple hundred tracts and several nice conversations; as well as seeing several people from each of our churches. All the while, Best Buy employees were buzzing around us, never did the tell us to leave.

All in all, this was a very encouraging morning.

God bless...
