The following comes to us from team leader Lucy with our team in Boise, ID:
God granted us peace. So, thank you again for your prayers for the Boise Catholic street evangelization effort.
A multi-state gathering of a pseudo-Christian sect was meeting in the sports arena. Lucy talked with one of the women standing by a pamphlet rack, passed on our way across the business park. She told us what group was here and explained that the men we had thought of as security guards were simply ushers. The group had another pamphlet rack set up directly across the walkway from “our spot”, but thankfully left our spot available.
“Gloria and Wayne”, from Chuck’s parish, stopped by. They brought Rosaries and Miraculous Medals for us. Gloria had purchased and packaged the Rosaries, while Wayne had made cord necklaces for the medals. They chatted for a while about their trip to a certain pilgrimage site. May God bless all our benefactors!
A group of three young-adult women stopped for Rosaries. One of them asked if they were blessed. She acknowledged that they were Catholic and belonged to Lucy’s childhood parish. May God bless them and keep them faithful!
A couple stopped when the woman wanted a free Rosary. She was not Christian. Lucy explained the Rosary devotion as a good way to get to know Jesus, and handed her a copy of the Good News/kerygma pamphlet. They each chose a Rosary.
Please pray for us again today? Ask God to send people to us with hearts prepared to perceive their need for Our Savior Jesus Christ and His Holy Catholic Church, and that much good fruit for His Kingdom comes of today’s effort.
“Seek the welfare of the city to which I have exiled you … for upon its welfare your own depends” (Jer 29:7). So, thank you again for your prayers and other support for this apostolate. In turn, may God bless and protect you (and your city) and all those you love!
