This report is the second in a two-part story from team leader Dave in Lansing, Michigan:

Shane came up, a homeless man, who is also staying at the mission shelter, took a crucifix and rosary. He wanted pray for a home, just somewhere to stay for himself, so we lifted him and that situation up to the Lord.

One of our last encounters was Stanley. I had my Army jacket on and he asked if I had served. I said yes, 8 Years in the Army. He said he was in the Marines, like his father and had toured in Afghanistan and Iraq. Going deeper, he stated he was struggling with addiction to cocaine, and that he was having hard time staying clean, especially with no family or rehab support. I shared that I use to have an addiction and with God’s help, overcame that cross for me and Jesus. Going deeper, he stated that his father had molested him as a child. He took a rosary, but didn’t get the chance to pray for him or over him. He thanked us and walked away.

Brothers and sisters, these were just a few of the encounters we had that day and the hundred of encounters we have had over the last 6 years our team has been going out. Everyone has a story, everyone has a cross that they carry which it burdensome to them alone. So many have never heard the Gospel or the Good News of the Savior. So I am inspiring you, encouraging you, praying for you to get out and evangelize the whole world!

Mercy and Grace from the Father to All!
