This report is the first in a two-part story from team leader Lucy in Boise, Idaho:
God wills everyone to be saved (cf. 1 Tim 2:4). So, thank you again for your prayers for the Boise Catholic street evangelization effort.
A thin, 20-something man named “Drake” barely paused when offered a Rosary. He said he hadn’t made the decision for Christ yet. But he stopped walking when Chuck offered that the Mysteries of the Rosary were a great way to figure out who Jesus is through His life story, and that prayer was an effective way to question God. Drake thought about this a moment then politely said no again, immediately heading out, though saying over his shoulder that he still wasn’t sure about Jesus. The evangelist replied, “I’ll pray you figure Him out.” Drake returned to the table and said, “Okay, you can pray for me”, and waited expectantly. So, the evangelists joined in prayer that our visitor would be given the gift of Faith and experience the joy of knowing the Lord. Please join us in praying for Drake that he will come to know and love the God who came to his rescue.
Although it was raining steadily before our session, the rain stopped just as the team met to walk the several blocks to “our spot”. And the rain didn’t start up again until the session was over and we headed to our cars. (God is so good! Thank you, God!) And, because God granted a break in the weather, there were a decent number of people who ventured out and past our table. Altogether, the evangelists were able to give away 12-15 Rosaries and its pamphlet on how to pray it, as well as a copy of the “Good News”/kerygma pamphlet and a copy of the “Divinity of Christ” pamphlet.
Souls still need the salvation found in Jesus Christ alone. 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!
Praised be Jesus Christ!
