Evangelization Window:
“Men4Jesus”
About six months ago, a man from the Knights of Columbus, started the ‘Men4Jesus’ group in our church. He placed a small advertisement article in the church bulletin on a weekly basis for one month. After reading the article, I remembered the following words of Our Blessed Mother in a TLIG Message: ‘accept all that God gives you’
“look, accept all that God gives you; it is by His Hand for His Own generous purpose that He gives you the possibility, the freedom and the power to act for the revival of the Church; if you remain as an untarnished mirror, you will reflect God’s Image and His Works will continue to flash on you so that every nation will read the Word of Life welcoming Christ with an open heart;”
So, I decided to join the ‘Men4Jesus’ group to be able to share the TLIG Messages.
About 40 men attend the monthly meetings regularly which includes 8 men at each of the 5 round tables. Each meeting starts with an opening prayer, a video of the main topic (Holy Eucharist, Confession, Jubilee Year, etc.), ten questions, and a closing prayer. We also have one hour to share our answers to the 10 questions.
At the first meeting, I asked the leader if I could suggest a book to the group. He said he will pass around a paper for men to list their favorite spiritual book. The leader will then give everyone the list of books at our next meeting. The TLIG Message book was #1 on the list.
The men at our table, at first, were very quiet, appeared to be afraid to share their faith. However, for me, it was very hard ‘not’ to share my faith about TLIG. My chest was ready to burst open with excitement on spreading the Messages. I quickly prayed to the Holy Spirit for Peace and Guidance which calmed me down immediately.
Once the leader asked me for my opinion on a question, I felt the Holy Spirit took over and spoke of the TLIG Messages. One Message after another was spoken calmly and clearly. The men were listening very intently. Sharing the TLIG Messages with others felt wonderful!
At the end of the meeting, the leaders at each table were asked to stand up and summarize what their group said. The leader at our table asked if I would stand up and repeat to everyone what was discussed at our table. I stood up and I felt the Holy Spirit take over again and I spoke of the TLIG Messages to the whole group. Afterwards, several men approached me to talk further about the TLIG Messages.
At the next monthly meeting, people with spiritual books were asked to talk briefly about their books. I was first on the list to talk about TLIG to the group and said that everything I say in our discussions is from the TLIG books and that free TLIG books are available if anyone is interested in reading more. Five men took the TLIG books (3 men from our table).
At the end of another meeting, one of the men stood up and spoke to the group. He said that he has studied the Catholic faith intently his whole life and never heard anything like what I spoke of (Truly, what the Holy Spirit spoke of in the TLIG Messages). The man said it strengthened his faith.
