The following is a continuation of yesterday’s story and comes to us from station leader Michael with our team in Joliet, IL:

During the Italian festival, we were very impressed with the assistance we received by the Knights of Columbus. They were very helpful in getting us to our booth and even put the tent up for us! They also got us a table and chairs.

Since this was a Catholic event, Suzy and I were wondering if we’d get many to stop by. The Holy Spirit really showed us differently! Even with the threat of rain and not many present at the event, we had a regular flow of people visit! We had the opportunity to pray with several people who requested it. One man had eye problems and difficulty seeing, and after praying with him he was so gracious to us and gave many thanks for us being there and praying for him!

We also had a woman whose friend had a stroke and wanted prayer for her recovery. In addition to praying for her, Suzy was able to give her helpful tips on how to assist her with communication since Suzy was a speech specialist. She too was very grateful! Another woman was there with her family and wanted prayer for her wedding coming up! She too was grateful and it was so great to see her family there being so supportive!

We prayed in proxy for a teen with brain damage and a mother hoping her daughter finds a great man to marry. Also, prayed with the Director of a Catholic Summer Bible Camp for safety & an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. It was a wonderful morning and of course, the St. Mary Knights and CCW ladies that were helping put on the Italian Fest were kind & helpful.

I left grateful for the opportunity to serve and help others build a closer relationship to Jesus! God is good and I am so thankful to have Suzy to evangelize with and to be a part of this prayerful group! Please pray for all those we encountered at the event, that all may walk closer with our Lord Jesus and avail themselves of the graces He wants to pour upon them through His Catholic Church!

Praised be Jesus Christ!
