The following report comes to us from team leader Lucy in Boise, Idaho:
Sometimes, we see God call a specific person to us. We saw Olivier and Katie again, the friendly couple who don’t seem to be believers. They didn’t stop to talk, but they greeted us kindly as always. Lord, bless Olivier and Katie and gently lead them to You.
Jennaya, the young woman with the apartment-organizing challenge from last week, stopped to tell us a church friend helped her get everything cleaned in time for her landlord’s inspection, and she was deeply grateful for our prayers. Thank You, Lord, for Your mercy!
A homeless woman joyfully told us she had been faithfully praying the Rosary. She was now clean and sober, getting her life in order, and experiencing real peace. Lord, continue to strengthen and protect her.
Several encounters reminded us how personally God works in each heart. A dad carrying his toddler returned a few minutes after first declining a Rosary to choose one. The only woman in a group of four young adults stepped forward for a Rosary while the others continued on. A young mom selected one for her baby daughter, and another young dad wanted a replacement because he had worn his old Rosary out through frequent prayer. Lord, bless each of these people and draw them ever closer to You.
Several others also accepted Rosaries, including people already devoted to praying them, a quiet man on a bicycle, and two people who initially accepted “because it’s free” but became genuinely interested as they learned about the devotion. Lord, let every Rosary become an invitation to know You more deeply.
Not every response was positive. One bicyclist mocked our invitation with a raspberry sound before riding away. Lord, touch his heart with Your mercy.
Foot traffic was light. God blessed us with cloud cover and a refreshing breeze. We distributed another 15–20 Rosaries and their pamphlets. Please pray for us, asking God to send people whose hearts are prepared to receive Jesus and His Church, and that much fruit would come from our efforts. God continues to show His love for each unique human heart. Thanks for your prayers and support. May God richly bless you and those you love.
