This report comes to us from team leader Scott with our team in Watertown, NY:

An Indian man approached our table. He explained to us that he just arrived here into the country and that he is Hindu. However, he took some interest in Jesus and had some questions about some of the local parks in the area. Dave had a good discussion with him about some places he can go in the city with their times, as well as welcoming him to our country. We also talked about how some of our Priests and nuns are from India and stay in the local area. We also provided him tracts on the Catholic faith and the good news. He did express interest in Jesus and wanted to learn more. We also gave him a Miraculous Medal, a rosary, and instructions on the rosary. Please pray for this man to have success in a new land and to consider following Our Lord!

Next, Daniel came by our table on a bicycle. We greeted ourselves and asked him if he wanted anything at our table, but he refused and rode by. Shortly later, he came back saying β€œAt first I said no, but now I decided that I need Jesus Christ in my life.” After a short discussion, Daniel was very quiet and did not say much. He took a Holy Rosary and placed it around his neck and thanked us. Please pray for Daniel to be drawn closer to the Lord.

Following Daniel, John came up to our table in an electric scooter. I asked John if he had ever come to my table before because he looked familiar, but apparently I was thinking of someone else because he had never seen me before. John explained to us how he has not been to church since the 1980’s. After a discussion about returning to church, and how it is never too late, he accepted from me and Dave a St. Anthony necklace that I had trouble fitting around his neck because of a broken chain. He also explained to us how he used to be in a church choir and would sing. Luckily, we had a book of hymns that are sung during the Holy Mass – which is one of the highest forms of Christian worship and prayer – so we gave it to him and he accepted it. Please pray for John to reconsider returning to Church, as we reminded him that the fruit of worship comes from assembly, as the Lord commanded.

Praised be Jesus Christ!
