The following comes to us from team leader Lucy with our team in Boise, ID:
Only God can truly satisfy the human heart.
During our evangelization session in Boise, several young adults stopped by, grateful to receive Rosaries—some replacing ones that had broken or been lost. Many Christian (but non-Catholic) visitors were curious about the Rosary, and we explained how this devotion draws us closer to Christ through prayer and meditation on His life.
Two individuals asked about immigration and social unrest connected to a nearby protest. One Catholic man and one nonbeliever both expressed deep concern for justice and peace. We encouraged prayer and trust in God’s wisdom, and they seemed comforted that the Church seeks peaceful solutions.
A non-Christian couple also stopped, and the woman chose a Rosary after hearing how it helps us come to know Jesus. Other brief encounters included a friendly passerby, a man seeking free items without interest in faith, and a joyful Catholic young woman eager to learn more about our mission.
By the end of the session, we gave away 30–35 Rosaries along with pamphlets and parish information. Many people shared that they already had Rosaries, while others received one for the first time.
Please continue praying for us—that God sends people with open hearts, and that much fruit comes from these efforts.
Thank you for your prayers and support. May God bless you and all those you love.
