We went as a team to the USA vs. Norway men's hockey game today. I have never been to a hockey game before, and had never watched it in TV. I am now a hockey fan! Great game and the USA won 6-1. Now before you get to excited I did some ministry while I was there... Here are some pictures of the people around me I ministered to.
This is Tiana, she is 4 months old and loves to smile and laugh. Amazingly she slept through of the hockey... through people cheering and stamping heir feet. Her family is from Vancouver and unfortunately they cheered for Norway.
This is Owen and he is three. He loves hockey and he can shout for the USA. His faimly comes from Seattle. He has an older brother Mac who looks like a larger version of him!.
This is Rebbecca. I met her on the street today after we came out of the hockey game. She came up to us and asked if we were athletes... she thought our red coats made us look like Team USA. We wished! She was really sweet and she is holding up her Jesus Pin.
It was a tough day for ministry. Lots of people on the street, but unfortunately the spirit on the street is not very good. Our team met more resistance today, and more mockery than any other day. There was a street preacher out on the street near one of my favorite areas, unfortunately he was stirring up more mockery and derision then anything else. We moved down the street but a Canadian Team hockey game was about to start. So most people were moving rapidly and not wanting to talk.
One of the first meeting our team today was with an individual who was willing to stop and hear the Jesus Pin story. But after hearing Brad related the story of Jesus, he told us..."I believe in Muslim, Hindu, Moses, Jesus, and all the rest. They were good teachers and I have a relationship with all of them." This is the New Age, syncretistic spirit that pervades this area.
All the day was not bad and here are some ministry pictures:
Brad shares the Gospel with a Vancouver couple
Teresa and Peggy share with a LDS believer from Utah
Ah yes...Hockey. It was a great game!
Everybody needs a good twin Zamboni picture!
