This report comes to us from regional missionary Anne with our Eastern Market team in Detroit, MI:

A total of 4 evangelists went to Eastern Market this past Saturday and we worked in 2-hour shifts. Anne and Mark were there 8:00am-10:00am while Steve and Beth were there 10:00am-Noon.
Anne approached a police officer on a bicycle and offered him a St. Michael medal. He accepted the medal and said that he knew that St. Michael is the patron of law enforcement. Anne offered to pray with him and listened as he talked about his concerns with his work and his family. Anne lifted all of his concerns to the Lord and prayed that he would experience a renewal of strength and the peace of Christ.

Two men approached our table and asked for a couple of Miraculous Medals. Mark also gave them the associated holy cards and asked if they wanted prayer for anything. One of them said, “Yes, pray for my dad, Charles, he has late-stage cancer and is in a lot of pain.” Mark prayed out loud for Charles, for his health and resilience. Mark also asked for peace in the family and that they come to know and love God more. One man thanked Mark and, with a big smile on his face, said “You set the tone for my whole day! Thank you so much!”

Praised be Jesus Christ!

— Evangelist Toni and our Silver Springs, MD team. A young woman ("Jenny") approached our table at a recent outing and accepted a rosary and a Miraculous Medal. I shared with her the love of Jesus and the truth of the Catholic faith. She put the Miraculous Medal on immediately and listened intently to what I was sharing. She had no real knowledge of who Jesus really is. Her mother is a Jehovah's Witness, and she was never baptized. I asked her if she was JW, but she said: “No, I don’t like them.” Although she attended Kingdom Hall services sometimes, she felt they were too pushy and wanted nothing to do with them.
