So a quick update on Seattle. (I have been typing all of these blogs from my phone so that is why they are short). Day two was amazing!! It was a beautiful sunny day and the team had an amazing meeting with a man named Gary from the SBC up here. It was so encouraging to hear what this man had to say about Seattle. It was also great just to ask him questions about church planting and to hopefully gain some of his wisdom. I will admit I fell in love with this city and the people after this meeting. The rest of the day we hung out in downtown and Pike’s market (where the first Starbucks is!) We also rode the ferry to Bainbridge island and started our westcoast advance out there.
Day three was an even more beautiful summer day with zero clouds to be seen. We hung out on campus that day and even took an official campus tour. They have some really sweet dorms here… Perfect for a Bible study! We got to see some great views of Mt Ranier on campus as well. God made a really gorgeous city up here and absolutely no pictures will do it justice. At the end of this day something really cool happened: me and Emily were practicing worship outside when three guys approached us. We told them we were practicing worship music and one of them immediately started telling us: “that’s some crazy [blank] you believe in! How do you know it is real?” It all happened so fast but after stating a few more things and cussing us out some more the guys left. All I can say is that I’m glad that happened and that I got a real taste of Seattle in that moment.
Readers, continue to pray for this city and the people and students who live here and live without God. Gary told us that 96% of the people do not believe in Jesus… that statistic makes this area unreached. Also pray for the members of the team so that we find God’s will for us and if he wants us in this city. Thanks for your prayers!
