Boise, ID

The following report comes to us from team leader Lucy in Boise, Idaho:

Thanks for your prayers for the Boise Catholic street evangelization effort. A Christian event was taking place at the convention center, but many attendees who wore Christian-themed shirts politely declined a free Rosary. Lord, open their hearts to the unity You desire for Your Church.

Nearby, two Catholic service-dog trainers stopped by. Both already had Rosaries, and we prayed that God would bless their work and those they serve.

Later, two longtime Catholics encouraged our apostolate. One man shared that he had never doubted the Faith despite growing up in an area with many non-Catholic religions. Lord, keep them faithful and thank You for their encouragement.

One young boy eagerly accepted a bright blue Rosary after telling me he knew Jesus loved him. Lord, draw him ever closer to You.

One encounter especially stood out. A homeless man asked for a Rosary and then requested prayer for “protection.” I suggested he take our last Rosary with a St. Benedict medal, and together with two companions we prayed for his protection and peace. All three men left with Rosaries. Lord, reveal Your loving care to them and lead them to salvation.

The weather and foot traffic were moderate, but we still distributed 20–25 Rosaries, along with prayer pamphlets and two St. Francis prayer cards.

Please continue praying that God sends us people whose hearts are ready to encounter Jesus Christ and His Church. Thank you for your prayers and support. May God bless and protect you and those you love.
