This report comes to us from team leader Jeremy with our team in Douglasville, GA:
We did our first outreach Monday night at the Food Truck event in downtown Douglasville. Henry and Lucy joined me. Food trucks were lined up on Church Street. We found a prime spot on the sidewalk where we could catch people walking by to the trucks (and where it was quiet enough to have a good conversation). The evening could not have gone better. After praying together and watching me a couple of times, Henry and Lucy jumped right in and had a great first experience:
I was amazed by how many people were receptive to receiving the rosary, and the need to evangelize people that are away from God and not really attending or a member of a church. I was surprised how kids were engaged to ask questions about the rosary [when we offered one to their parents] and it can be a great start for a family to attend a Catholic church. I also met some Catholics that are not attending Mass and gave them an invitation to St. Theresa’s. We pray we will see them at Mass. I am very excited, blessed and looking forward to the next event for St Paul Street Evangelization! – HENRY
This was a unique experience. I felt very emotional, honored by the lord our God because He allows me to be one of his disciples and bring a little of his love to those who need it. I also realized the need to carry the good news of Jesus’ love to others. – LUCY
Praised be Jesus Christ!
