Stories from the Street

Warren, MI. Sometimes evangelization can be as simple as noticing and complimenting someone on a medal or cross that they’re wearing, and letting the conversation flow from there. The evangelist in today’s story is good at evangelizing through making small talk and paying sincere compliments.

The following report comes to us from Br. John with our Society of Evangelists in Warren, MI:
At the pharmacy, I noticed the clerk had a necklace on and asked, “Is that a Miraculous Medal?” He responded, “Yes it is!” Before I left, I asked, “Hey, so have you noticed a difference wearing your cross?” He said, “What do you mean?” So I pressed further, asking, “Well, have you noticed God’s blessings?” He expanded, saying, “Well people do notice it and they say, “Nice cross!” I countered, “It makes them feel happy?” He exclaimed, “Yes!” So I commended him, responding with, “Well you know what, I need to follow your example and wear mine more too!” He commented, “Thanks I always wear it, I always show it”. I finished, saying “That’s awesome man, God bless you and have a great day!” He returned the well wishes, saying “You too!”
Praised be Jesus Christ!
