The following report comes to us from evangelist Bernice with our team in Chicago, IL:
This past weekend, I went evangelizing in a Chicago neighborhood that has a significant gang presence and can be a dangerous area. I was about to go home, but felt I should head down a residential street first, as I always look to see if the gangs are out so I can share the Gospel with them. As I was driving by, I noticed that a lot of them were in the middle of the street. Apparently they were having a big house party, and there was some pot smoking (I could smell it). I stopped and rolled my window down, and handed one young man a crucifix. He took it, and then asked if I had another. So I parked, got out, and had a bunch of Bibles and St. Benedict crucifixes which I gave to them and they were genuinely happy about it. The joy it brought me was so intense unlike anything I’d experienced from evangelization…I was on cloud nine!
Praised be Jesus Christ!
