Never a Dull Moment

Yesterday afternoon, we met at church and we were so grateful for the prayerful sendoff by pastor Billy.   We didn't have a set plan, but one quickly came together.   We had discussed the possibility of going to the Redmond Mall and proclaiming the Gospel in a public area, where the street runs right through the mall.   So we drove the Redmond mall and found a parking spot, and spent some more time in prayer.   After a quick stop at Starbucks, we wandered through the mall and handed out Gospel tracts and engaged in several interesting and effective conversations with people from young to old.

We saw people from many other countries (Asian, Indian, Middle-Eastern, etc.), and were turned down by several as we offered them tracts.   This prompted me to begin to try to reach the people en masse.   The mall cop pulled up on his Segway and asked me to cease and desist several minutes into my presentation of the Gospel.   So we obliged him (after offering a quick conclusion to my message.)

It turned out, we found favor with the mall cop.  He followed us to the parking lot and apologized for having to eject us from the mall because he was a believer and supported what we were doing.  He was able to tell us a couple of other places where we could go and proclaim the Gospel in a public setting; Bellevue Square and Kirkland Town Center.   So we headed out to the Bellevue Square.   The first person that caught my eye as I walked up to the Bellevue Square area (near Red Robin), was a girl with the brightest pink hair I've ever seen and she and several others were wearing ping vests, and soliciting donations from passers-by.   I offered her and he companions Gospel tracts and came to understand later why none of them accepted a Gospel tract.   The words on the back of their vests read "I am a girl", and they were both males and females wearing the vests.   I inquired as to their cause, and they said, "gender equality."   I didn't delve into what that meant, but figured it out later.   Anyways they were atheists and supported their beliefs on Evolution and Science.   We had a very good conversation, and I expressed my care for them, and concern for their souls, and urged them to get right with God.   After quite a long discussion, they had to leave, which prompted our next action.

Thomas stood on the stool and made a very compelling, well thought out presentation of the Gospel.

Then I got up and read the Gospel of John chapter 3, up to verse 16, and then went through a short Gospel message.

Then we went up to the bus station and handed out Gospel tracts and engaged several very sweet Chinese girls who were Christian.   As well, we spoke with a girl from one of the Islamic Russian states, who accepted a Gospel of John as well.  Then Thomas preached a couple of times to various groups of people.

On the way back to our car, we went back by Bellevue square, and Thomas handed a Gospel tract to a prostitute who was hooking up with some guys.

Thank you Lord for your grace in my life.

God bless...
