CAPTURED by a CROWD
I stood alone admiring some pictures on a wall by a Deaf photographer when through a door came a group of athletes – immediately they came face to face with me and their eyes went straight to my POWER PINS. Suddenly I had a captive audience — (really it was more like they captured me – I was surrounded by a group of Deaf from an Asian country) —and Timothy and I began to share the POWER PRESENTATION. The group were so engaged, really interested! I gave a pin to each one. They kept standing near me. They hugged me, told me “I LOVE YOU”. This Deaf Team were being chaperoned by a local official. We were also able to share the POWER PIN with him as well – and as he received the pin, he thanked us and then led the team on their way. — Rute
AROUND THE WORLD
Tickets were sold out to the Opening Ceremonies – yet there were crowds assembled outside wanting and waiting to go in. We even observed a protest of a group of 50 Deaf who were frustrated that they had flown from afar and were not able to purchase a ticket. We had been inside McDonalds when Timothy asked if I wanted to go out and interact with the crowd. So right when we went outside a line of athletes formed a line to march into the arena. We were in the perfect position and were able to great Deaf person after Deaf person. Often the line stalled long enough for us to share a POWER PRESENTATION and present them a POWER PIN. Power Pins about Jesus were placed in the hands of Germans, Americans, Ukrainians, Kazaks, and more…… Rute
