2 Johns, an ex-Muslim & 2 Baptists Meet Jesus - 1/17 SPSE Report

St. Paul Street Evangelization
Written By Bernadette Montefalcon

Hey All,

CCC's evangelism team of 12 (yay) set out on a blustery bitter cold night at Discovery Green. The park was nearly empty and we weren't expecting much outreach action. But we eventually encountered dozens of people (mostly young adults),with about 30-40% we reached out to responding to our offers of sacramentals & prayer. Typically only about 1 in 10 people respond to our outreach on a normal afternoon/evening. The cold didn't appear to deter these young people from venturing out.

Notable encounters included:

  • Two Hispanic men (johns) awaiting prostitutes changed their minds for the evening after being offered a rosary and prayer by a mobile team with a Spanish-speaking evangelist.

  • Two young men raised Baptist, recommitted their lives to Christ after receiving crucifixes and being evangelized with the Jesus-at-the-door tract.

  • An ex-Muslim (now Christian) was absolutely thrilled (all smiles) to learn more about the Christian faith with our materials and verbal exchange. He was invited to mass as well as being prayed with.

  • Gave away dozens of rosaries, crucifixes, Holy Cards and other sacramentals which led to spiritual discussion and prayer with many people, a number struggling with hopelessness and depression.

Our Lord turned a seemingly "dead" night into a spiritually productive time and our evangelists went home rejoicing at His faithfulness! Next CCC DG outreach on Sat 1/31, 4-7p.

NOTE: There will be an outreach this Saturday (1/24) at the Pasadena Flea Market, 11a-2p (2222 Spencer Hwy, left front entrance)  It's indoors, YAY!

Blessings,

Dn Alex & Sally
