The following story comes to us from team leader Lucy with our team in Boise, ID:

The Rosaries encourage Catholic and non-Catholic alike. So, thank you again for your prayers for the Boise Catholic street evangelization effort.

A man, a practicing Catholic who travels as an air traffic controller, stopped to chat. One of the pleasures of his job, he said, was getting to attend Mass in different cities across the country. He was asked about how it was to share the Gospel in public because he is considering starting a St. Paul Street Evangelization team in his town when he retires in a couple of years. We thank God for his active witness to his Catholic Faith and pray he is able to start an SPSE ministry in the future.

A previous visitor, who grew up in another part of the country, stopped. He’s Catholic and just wanted to encourage us. May God bless him and hear his intentions.

A malinois dog was dragging a woman along the sidewalk. The man with her came closer to the table when we asked what breed the dog was. But neither human being showed any interest in the Rosary. They passed again on their way back, and Chuck asked the dog’s name, which neither of us remembers. May God bless the people, though, and draw them both to Him and salvation!

A 30-something couple, “Taylor” (she) and “Matt” (he), stopped. They are non-Catholic Christians, I think, and gladly accepted the Rosary after we explained the Christ-centeredness of the devotion.

Altogether, we gave away 20-25 Rosaries and its pamphlet on how to pray it, one kerygma pamphlet, 1 Our Lady untier of Knots prayer card, 1 Divine Mercy prayer card, and 1 “Problem of Suffering and Evil” pamphlet.

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 coms of today’s effort.

I never cease to be amazed at how the Rosary attracts people. May it bring them all to Him Who is at the center of the devotion! And thank you again for your prayers and other support for this apostolate! In turn, may God protect and greatly bless you and all those you love!
