The Lord's Work - 2024-10-13

October 20, 2024

A short report this week, sorry. But we went out as usual, and we thank you again for your prayers for the Boise Catholic street evangelization effort.

The 30-something man, who sits with his laptop and generates business ideas for his mom to promote, had set up at a picnic table just across from us. Unusually, he was using a music player with its volume set so loud that people even on our side of the business park had to shout to be heard by people close to them.

A high school tournament was just finishing up in the sports arena. Lots of people were waiting out front for their student to appear. Few of the waiting family members showed interest in the Rosary, but a young man from the out-of-town winning team came to receive one. Later, he returned with 3 or 4 of his other teammates. May the Lord use the Rosary they received to draw them to Him and salvation!

Several unaccompanied children approached, at different times during the session. We asked each one to get their parent's permission to have a Rosary before choosing one. None of them returned. The last one claimed he belonged to the pre-Christian people from which Jesus received his human nature. May God save all of these children and their families!

At sometime during the session, e. Chuck handed someone a Good News/kerygma pamphlet.

An agonizing agnostic came and argued with e. Chuck for quite a while. He was wearing a mask and kept asking us to keep our distance since he “had a lung disease”. May God bless him, heal him, reveal His loving presence to him, and grant him saving Faith! Coincidentally, just as that conversation ended, so did the loud music.

Altogether, the two evangelists gave away 15-20 Rosaries and its pamphlet on how to pray it, 1-2 Our Lady Untier of Knots prayer cards, 1-2 Divine Mercy prayer cards, and a kerygma pamphlet.

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.

Our work for the Lord continues. Although many still seem uninterested in building a right relationship with their Creator and Redeemer, some people approach for more information. 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!
