This report comes to us from team leader Scott, who leads the team in Watertown, New York:
Saturday was opening day for our team in the city square surrounded by local businesses, park benches, walking paths and a towering historic church with a clock and bell overlooking a scenic water fountain. The day started with a confrontation between a man and woman in the square resulting in the police being called. Please pray for Christ to heal all divisions and strife in people we encounter. While out there, we provided food and water along with rosaries, information about the faith, and material donated by Bishop Barron’s Word on Fire Ministries. Here are some of my experiences and encounters – please pray for them:
Chris came by the table with a red mark on his face. He seemed to be in a difficult situation. He also had what appeared to be occult tattoos on his arms. He took some food and water along with the Good News and Salvation pamphlets. He also took three blessed Rosaries for himself, his wife and kids. He also took a blessed Miraculous Medal after I gave him a brief history about The Virgin appearing to a nun giving her the design of the medal and attributing many powerful graces to it. Chris did not know what we should pray for, but I promised that I would still send his name out on a prayer chain for him and his family. I also told him about the love of Christ and that He is for everyone. Chris agreed without question. Please pray for Chris to lead his family always to God and for his family to always know God.
A young man in a hoodie walked by the table. I asked if he wanted any religious items or wanted to talk about faith. The young man responded, “no, I am good,” and kept walking by the table stoically. On the back of his hoodie there was a text in big bold letters that read “Don’t reach for me.” This made me sad, because I know there are many people out there like this who are hopeless as I was once like this as an atheist before Christ Jesus converted me. Please pray for the Holy Spirit to come for this young man and to bring him into knowing of the truth and God’s mercy and love.
Chad and Patrick came up to the table and were looking around. They seemed interested but not willing to engage in conversation. They were headed to get some food at a Restaurant in the square. Please pray for Christ to lead them to faith if they are lacking and to strengthen it if already there.
