Buffalo Struck With “Mass Mobs”

Colossians 3:17 NCV Everything you do or say should be done to obey Jesus your Lord. And in all you do, give thanks to God the Father through Jesus.

The city of Buffalo, New York is being hit with “Mass Mobs”.

However, this new breed of flash mob is actually blessing those they target.

The “Mass Mob” votes online for a specific older Catholic church in the area for Sunday worship.  The mob then swarms that church in the morning, worshipping with regular attenders, admiring the architecture of the old cathedrals and providing the churches with a much needed boost in support.

Many of the churches have fallen over the last century from thousands in attendance each week to in some cases less than 50.  The founder of the “mob” says the idea is to expose area Catholics to new congregations and churches in a hope of sparking a revival.

“I call these churches faith enhancers,” Christopher Byrd told the Associated Press.  “You can’t help but walk in and feel closer to a higher power.”

Byrd hopes that churches that “fall off the radar screen of people” will again be seen as viable houses of worship.
