Hello Im Isaac and I have a question regarding evangelization. I live in Boise, where large Mormon populations live. Now, on my street there are two main Mormon families, one protestant, and one atheist. These 4 pretty much run the neighborhood, and as a Catholic teen I do not feel very welcome. Also I constantly see Mormon missionaries and find Jehovah’s Witness literature at nearby bus stops.(I have already collected 2 Watchtower magazines, and thrown them away, and then added a New World Translation of Holy Scriptures to my Koran and Book of Mormon in my library). Lastly there is a family who
se parents are atheist and whose boy my age claims to be Christian but is anticatholic and very racist and hateful and not really Christian.
I know that spreading the gospel and fighting the enemy’s influence is God’s command, but how do I do it in this case? This is more complicated than it seems so let me take you on a trip into the ugly politics of this neighborhood.
The anticatholic boy sees me as his best friend even though I dont like to hang out with him. He hates everyone else on the block including his parents. The atheist family and one of the Mormon families is in bitter rivalry with my family, with all the kids and parents strongly disliking each other; The two enemy families here are good friends with each other. Across the street from them is another very conservative Mormon family who is very good friends with my family. They ignore every one else with the exception of us and the other Mormon family, having a faith similarity. The friends of ours teach their kids strong discipline, strong faith in Mormonism, and rigid but pretty good morals. As for the Jehovah’s Witnesses, I am unable to locate them. I can only pick up their literature.
So I’d like to combat all these spiritual threats, but its very socially complex. How can I carefully go about this? Thanks for answering.
