With the couple of uncomfortable encounters a few prayer warriors have experienced it may feel easy to walk away and find something more fun to do. It is important to remember that we are helping those in desperate need with our prayers and our presence and we have support from the community too! Read about these encounters:
Blaise,
Yesterday I went down to walk outside PP there on State St. I guess I got there around 11:30, there were four others there. Anyway, it was the usual people drive by honking in agreement and the others who gave us not so pleasant a gesture. Then a big burly man approached us, you never know what someone might say to us sidewalk prayers,
he said “God put it on my heart that I should stop and pray for you guys”. (Wow!!!)
He said, ” Would you like me to pray for you?”
Well, that was a no brainer! “Yes” was our reply. He prayed and then he was gone.
Just thought I would share.
Regards

Carole,
I too saw this man yesterday! He pulled up and got out of his truck in front of us. My prayer partner from St. Mary’s said he looked like Hagrid from Harry Potter- and he did! I got my phone ready for photos or to dial 911, and he came up and asked if he could pray with us! This gentle giant is a student at the Boise Bible college and as soon as he left, I checked my email and you had posted this encounter from the day before.
Blessings,
Blaise
