The following report comes to us from team leader Janet with our team in Galveston, TX:
Yesterday, we experienced another day filled with blessings from on high as we set out to evangelize and bring hope, faith and the love of Christ to those we encountered. The day started off slow and it seemed as though we would not have as many encounters as we have had in the past. But, God had other plans and it wasn’t long before people started coming through the doors and to our table. It is so amazing to me to hear from people that we encounter that they hadn’t even planned on coming to the indoor flea market that day but, by the grace of God, passing by in their car, they decided to stop and come in. Jesus leads those people to us that He wants us to encounter through the grace-filled moments they experience from the Holy Spirit. With our training in evangelization, we are equipped, after gathering together in prayer for ourselves and are ready for them with rosaries, Miraculous Medals, Catholic literature and we offer prayer to those who want it.
We handed out many rosaries and Miraculous Medals and prayed for one woman who has a son in his early thirties who was recently diagnosed with cancer and will be starting treatment and who has three small children. We prayed for two women who had knee pain and after prayers of healing felt much better. We handed out some books to young teenagers about Saint Carlo Acutis and Saint Maria Goretti. We see tears, experience hugs and listen to the life stories and circumstances of people and let them know that we care and will continue praying for them long after the day is over.
I want to thank all of our evangelizers that came. Thank you to Joe who fixed our prayer sign, Jose and Autumn and her brother, Jonathan for your wonderful presence and participation. Also, many thanks to Barbara and to Deacon Alex and his wife, Sally. I appreciate all of you so much! May God bless all of you and the many people who stopped by our table.
Praised be Jesus Christ!
