Yesterday evening went very well in Bellevue. The plan was to go to the Meydenbauer Center where Suzanne Sommers was going to be giving her motivational speech to people who paid $75 a plate for dinner. The title of her speech was "A New Way to Age".
Doors were supposed to open at 5:30 pm, and we arrived just before 5:00 pm. Parking was free (Praise the LORD!). We setup outside the entrance to the conference center. I had many scriptures about aging, but it turned out that not very many people were using the outside doors (there must have been internal doors, accessible from the parking structure), that people were using.
Well, the LORD had other plans for us, because we noticed there were a LOT of people at the Bellevue Transit Center waiting for buses. We are very familiar with Transit Center commuter crowds, having preached many times at the Everett Train Station, the Lynnwood Transit Center and the Ash Way Transit Center. So we walked up the the Bellevue Transit Center and I proceeded down the line, offering Gospel tracts to the commuters who were waiting for buses. It was a little discouraging, because out of the some one hundred (or more) commuters, I only handed out half a dozen tracts. So I proceeded across the street and faced the crowd, and turned on my little 5W personal amplifier and began preaching the gospel. The commuters were very quite, many of them ignored me; some listened intently.
At the same time, my evangelism partner was preaching the Gospel to another section of the crowd.
Then we met up and began taking turns preaching to various sections of the line; as people got on buses and left, new commuters would come get in line, and we would tag-team preach to them. I only had one (woman) grumbler try to stop me from preaching. I told her very politely, "ma'am, this is still America" and she quieted down, and got on her phone and ignored me (I thought she might be calling the police, but no police ever showed, so maybe she hadn't).
Then I went back down to the Meydenbauer Center and read a bunch of aging related scriptures, and followed that with a bunch of Gospel related scriptures. I got a few responses from people; most notably when I was reading about Jesus walking on water, and a lady said, "do you have a picture of that?". I responded, "yes, it's right here in the Bible".
We did capture some video... I will upload it to my YouTube channel when I get a chance, but you can find my YouTube channel by searching for "Keith Reed Gospel" to see other videos (very poorly produced/raw video indeed).
God bless...
