The following story comes to us from team leader Lucy with our team in Boise, ID:
Wind and rain bless the Lord! (cf. Dan 3:67). And so thank you again for your prayers for the Boise Catholic street evangelization effort.
A man on a bicycle, on his way to work, stopped to say he had picked up a Rosary from us ten years ago and that he frequently rode past us with a wave. He said he has had the Rosary hanging from the rearview mirror in his car all this time, but now he wanted a Rosary to carry with him. When encouraged to draw nearer to Christ in prayer, he just smiled and rode on. Pray that his faith in Christ finds its way into all aspects of his life.
A young Catholic couple from a nearby town stopped to chat, and to select a couple of chain Rosaries. They wished the evangelist many blessings and their joyful smiles warmed him up. Pray that their joyful faith bears much fruit for Christ’s Kingdom.
A grinning man in shorts and an open sweatshirt, despite the bitingly cold wind, tried to offer cash for a Rosary. When the money was declined, he put a Rosary around his neck and gave the evangelist a boozy hug before wandering away. Pray that he will seek to be filled with the Holy Spirit.
With rain and a cold, gusty wind, foot traffic was light. Most of the Rosaries went to people who grabbed the Rosary from the evangelist’s hand as they rushed past. Yet, our intrepid evangelist still set 6-7 people up with a Rosary.
Please pray for us again today? Ask God to send people to us with hearts prepared to perceive their need for Our Savior Jesus Christ and His Holy Catholic Church, and that much good fruit for His Kingdom comes of today’s efforts.
People still need Our Savior. So, thank you again for your prayers and other support for this apostolate! In turn, may God protect and greatly bless you and all those you love!
