I am reporting of the fruitful day, Saturday, February 8th, downtown Lansing, Michigan in front of the main library. I have not given an account of God’s work through us for our team in a while. We try to go out every 2 to 3 weeks to bring the Gospel and good news.

Like always, we were setting up our table, and there was not a soul around and then we pray and God takes it from there. We encounter a lot of homeless people in this spot and always seem to be humbled by those brothers and sisters. Had a new member join us for this outing, Richard, he had never been out on the street with us before, so it was a welcoming experience. He is hoping to bring SPSE to his parish in Ovid, Michigan. It was wonderful to see him dive right in.

Our first encounter was with a homeless man named Steven, he thought we might be setting up to give away food, but we told him we were there to give away God. He told us of his situation, that he had no job, staying at the mission shelter. He took a rosary and we laid hands him for pray that his situation would change and that he could get housing and a job, to bring him out. I think he appreciated us just being there, because he stuck around for a while.

While Steven was still there, Tom started to talk with Sherri, who was concerned about her safety and well-being. She took a rosary and we gave her a Guardian Angel metal for protection.

Romans 10:14-15 “How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how will they hear without a preacher? And how will they preach unless you are sent? Just as it is written. “HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS OF GOOD THINGS!”
