Sunday after church, I went with Paula door to door in Camas. Although most people are fairly friendly at the door, and sometimes open to conversing about God, the very first door we knocked on gave us a rude awakening. A lady came to the door, looked directly at the tracts I had in my hand, & pointed a finger at me and sternly & loudly said "NO!" That level of animosity is new to me.
But we soldiered on to the next house, where we were greeted by a lady who happened to be on the city council. She was friendlier & we conversed. As it turned out, she, like many we run into, seemed to have new age-ish beliefs. She accepted a tract, so we hope the seed was at least planted. As we continued on, we found many people home, & most were friendly, and about 50% were church-going. And a few people mentioned they were happy we were doing this outreach, as usually it's only the cults that they see door to door.
One of the last doors we knocked on was an attractive rustic log cabin. No one answered the door, but they had this posted on their fence: "SATAN Place". Bizarre! to say the least. They even had a full size guillotine on their front lawn. We left a tract on the door, so, once again, the seed was planted.
