This man showed up to Mass today…you might say, what’s so special about that? It’s special because he showed up through an invite from some of our evangelist who met him a few weeks ago…prayed with him…shared the Gospel with him and invited him.

It may not seem like a big deal, but we get really excited about seeing a soul respond to the message of the Gospel…preach the Gospel always 💪 how can they believe unless they hear 🕊️🕊️🕊️
