Stories from the Street
The Enterprise, AL, team had another busy day recently. First-time evangelist Gina Wong, who helped evangelize in Spanish, joined them this time. She was a natural and she loved it! Gina’s husband, Marcus Wong, also helped the team evangelize in Spanish.

In the photo, Gina is speaking to a gentleman about the Rosary and the importance of prayers that bring us closer to God. She explained the Saints and the reasons we use them as intercessors. Since we here on earth use each other in the same way, why not call on the help of those already in Heaven and who are face-to-face with the Almighty? Didn’t Moses intercede for the Israelites, Abraham for Sodom and Gomorrah, and so on? Then why not the Saints?
On the other side of the table, not pictured, the gentleman’s friend was being spoken with at the same time by veteran evangelist Mikey Torres. The woman was once married to a Catholic, was currently non-practicing, but had started to feel a pull to attend church again, and so was now searching for the right one.
“But with so many Christian churches (40,000+),” Mikey asked her, “all claiming to be the one true church, where would you go? How do you know which is the true church?”
Then Mikey spoke with her about what we know for certain from history: through Scripture (Matthew 16)—which records how Jesus Himself established His Church—and through the letters of the early Church—which all speak about the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.
The woman was happy to learn this because no one had ever really explained these things to her before.
Keep up the good work, Team Enterprise!
