The following report comes to us from team leader Janet with our team in Galveston, TX:

I am so grateful to God who has blessed this area with committed Catholic evangelists who accompany me every two weeks for the purpose of evangelizing. We have so many wonderful encounters with people who are seeking a closer relationship with God. We talk to the lost, the broken, those who are seeking but haven’t found the Catholic Church and know little to nothing about the Church that Jesus Christ founded. They hear so many people directing them here and there and they go but feel dissatisfied and that something is lacking.

We heard this last Saturday from a young woman who had been incarcerated for six months in jail and while there she was counseled by Jehovah Witness women who went to the jail to lead women to their faith and belief. After getting out of jail, one of these women came to her home every week to continue leading her down this path. But, she opened up to us with her doubts and concerns and after a few questions we had for her we learned that she had grown up in a Catholic family. So, of course, we welcomed her back into the fold and gave her a rosary, a brochure on how to pray the rosary, Epiphany holy water, a book on the Eucharist and will be following up with her. God is so good for leading this young woman to our table and we prayed with her that she will go to confession and return to Mass. May our witness, love and support give her what she felt was lacking with the J.W.

To God be All the Glory!
