The following report is a continuation from yesterday’s story and comes to us from Nancy with our team in Lower Bucks County, PA:
There was a clean cut looking young man standing next to a column near the team for quite awhile. He had seen the team give out food to the homeless, share prayers with strangers and give out blessed medals and rosaries. When the area quieted down a bit, Nancy asked him if he would like a blessed medal. He said he did not have any faith and did not need a cross. We asked if he could use a prayer. He said, “Well I don’t believe, but you can do it if you want”. We said a short prayer asking God for faith for us and him. We asked him his name and it was Joe. We noted that certainly is a name we find in the Bible. Joe laughed and said yes he did know that. He mentioned he was waiting for his aunt to arrive. We asked her name, and it was Mary. We laughed again, noting once again perhaps he had closer ties to Jesus than he mentioned. He was a warm hearted fellow and was not bothered by our attempts to connect. We asked if he would like to give our medal with Mary on it to his aunt when she arrived. He said no that we could offer it to her. She finally came and when we gave a friendly hello and asked if she’d like a medal with Mary on it she looked at us and our sign and was dismissive and hurried out with her nephew. We don’t know what people are going through when we try to help our fellow sheep, but we know God wants us to go out and try anyway. Let go and let God!
