Rochester, MI. The kindness of our street evangelists often makes people feel at ease, and they can open up to us about things they might not be able to share with anyone else. Today, a man was able to tell us that he had colon cancer… the first time he had told anyone about his condition. What a burden that must be to carry around, but thanks be to God he was able to unload a bit of the weight onto our street team so they could pray with him.
All of our evangelists are in a unique position to hear people's struggles, because sometimes (for whatever reason) they can't share things with their family or friends. When we show compassion to those we encounter, it gives them permission to open up like the man in today's story did.
