The Daily Maronite: Evangelization on the Mountains

On Friday February 10, 2006, I came to a non-Christian town. I entered a house where 10 non-Christians gathered together to hear the Good News: The father and the mother + 2 children- Another man with his wife + 2 children – and two guests.

A little boy asked me saying, “Tell me about Jesus”. I began to evangelize. Little by little, the 14-year-old girl said, “How beautiful Jesus is.” I gave them copies of the Bible. We read from John chapter 4. I talked about the Samaritan woman. They asked many questions. The little children opened up their hearts talking about their nightmares, fears, and struggles. I had to offer them Jesus who can set them free. After 3 hours of discussion, they invited me to eat dinner with them. I ate with them. After dinner, I blessed their house, gave them holy water and left their town. I drove at night back to the parish, the snow at both sides of the road, I had to drive carefully. Suddenly, I had to push the brakes thinking I was going to hit someone, a being, but it was not a person. It seemed to me like a ghost. That was scary. But I knew I would be under attack because of evangelization.

Today, I called these 10 thirsty non-Christians. They said I should come and tell them more about Jesus. I think soon they will accept the Lord and receive Baptism.

Praise to God. The harvest here is so big.
