The following report comes to us from team leader Dcn. Alex with our Catholic Charismatic Center Outreach with our team in Houston, Texas:
Our first evening evangelization effort late in November at Downtown Houston’s Discovery Green was AWESOME. The team had 10 evangelists, some of which were sent out walking the area sharing our Catholic faith under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Shortly after setting up, a Ukrainian immigrant (Yuri) approached our table asking for prayer for his cancer-afflicted father. After joining in prayer, Erik noted the man was limping, using a cane. After receiving a couple of prayers for healing, Yuri’s pain level went from a 7 to 0 and he began to jump around praising Jesus, raising his cane above his head. He made quite the scene as he thanked the Lord. (e.g. St Peter at the temple, Acts 3:9). He recommitted his life to following Our Lord and walked away full of joy.
Throughout the evening we also prayed with many others, of which at least five who responded to our Jesus at the Door tract, asking Our Lord to come into their lives, including a non-practicing Catholic mother & her two unbaptized children. All were directed to the Catholic Church with our Mass time handouts. As we have faithfully evangelized the downtown area the Lord has been faithfully blessing us with many encounters resulting in changed lives. Praised be Jesus Christ!
