Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

 

I hope your day was blessed walking in the Lord. I had a good day on campus and  Belgo prayed with me to receive Jesus.

 

Belgo is African American and was sitting in the hall at the BIC. He had braids a random accounting of mustache hairs and a goatee. He wore a hoodie and the front of his jeans was randomly shredded in the style that has become common. (You can also go with patches which are my preference in winter.) It turned out he went to Church every Sunday because of something that had happened in his life He had already done a survey saying to me when I asked, “I think I already did that”. “Did they ask, ‘Your walking down the road and you get hit by a bus, so you’re dead and you stand before God and He says, Why should I let you into Heaven? Did they ask you that?” I asked. “No” he replied. “Well would you like to know what the Bible says gets you into Heaven or not so much?” “You can tell me, yeah” he said. So I took out a booklet and using some of the bible verses and as many more in addition from memory I went through the Gospel and the imputed righteousness of Christ. After telling him God wanted to live inside him but first had to take away his sins I asked what the big thing was that God did to take away his sins. “The biggest thing?” he asked. I said, “Right the biggest thing.” “Well, I was near death and people prayed over me and healed me,” he replied. I said that was cool.  But this is what God does to take away sins and continued with the Gospel. I asked him if he wanted to be forgiven with God living inside him and he said. “I would be with God.” So I talked him through the prayer and said if he wanted he could ask God to forgive him trusting in what Jesus had done for him and he would be forgiven. He took the booklet from me and prayed to receive Christ. He said they had given him a Bible at Church. I explained living “inside out” by the power of God’s Holy Spirit living in Him. Writing “By the Spirit’s Power” in the front I gave him 20 Things God Can’t Do also writing his name and the date and “forgiven” saying he could remember this was the day he had been forgiven for his sins. He thanked me then. I gave him a Bible study too and he kept the booklet and he thanked me again as I got up to leave. “Yeah, I’ll see you in Heaven,” I said. “Yeah,” he said with a big smile and I headed out to meet the student I was meeting at the top of the hour.

 

So thanks for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism today if you had a chance, God truly blessed.

 

In Him,

Bob

Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

 

I hope your day was blessed and you felt the nearness of God. I had a good day on campus and Alli prayed with me to receive Christ.

 

Alli’s sister Katie was sitting on some chairs waiting for her to come as they intended to leave together. I had asked her to do a student survey for the Bible study before when she did not have time but she said she had a few minutes today, it ended up taking much longer. We’d just started when her sister Alli sat down. Alli’s hair was died reddish and she had a bit rounder face than Katie whose hair was more golden blonde, they both had long hair past their shoulders. Alli wore her hair flat to her head and Katie’s was pulled back with a hair band that lifted it up it was wavy to her shoulders. Ali looked a little worn out and described herself as tire and Katie said she was stressed, but that’s par for the course in college, both were really sweet nice looking girls. It turned out Katie was a Christian but when I asked Alli what she would say to God to get into Heaven she said, “Probably wouldn’t, I’ve been struggling.” They went to a “Bible kind of Church” but neither had full assurance of salvation Katie said her likelihood of going to heaven as 75% and Alli said she had a 50/50 shot. I went through the Gospel with them and Alli said she’d want to be forgiven. Katie felt she already had believed on Jesus  and so I explained living inside out with them trusting in God’s power and talked about doubting your doubts and then showed them the prayer in the booklet walking them through it. Katie said again she had done something like that but Alli hadn’t so I offered her the chance to ask for forgiveness and Alli prayed silently to receive Christ. I explained that if they were trusting in the righteousness of Jesus to be their righteousness the likelihood that they would go to Heaven was now 100%. I gave them each books writing their names in them and in Alli’s the date and “forgiven” and I gave them both Bible studies and they seemed very happy. I got an email to send them some stuff and gave them each a side by side hug across the shoulders and said I would pray for them which they liked. And Katie said they’d pray for me too and that it was really great what I was doing.

 

So Thanks for your prayers for the ministry and for Evangelism today if you had a chance. God truly blessed.

Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

 

I hope your Friday was blessed by the Lord and you had a good weekend so far.  No one prayed with me to receive Christ on Friday but I had several good seeds planted with the Gospel. Sean was a very tall (had a mop of hair and a few days growth of beard), formerly Lutheran, guy sadly turned off my his parents forcing church on him. But he said what I had said to him about a relationship with God was attractive to him and took the Student Edition of the Case For Christ. Josh was an Indian born here his parents were immigrants from the south. Raised Catholic he was not sure yet where he landed with faith in God. He had a short trimmed bear, fair skinned with a short trimmed beard trimmed as high as the mustache across each cheek. He took the Student Edition of the Case For Faith though he seemed less moved by the Gospel. I had a good discussion about God’s love in sending Jesus with Max, he took the Gospel with him to reread some verses on his own. He was a big guy with a couple days growth of beard, brown hair. Finally I spoke with Patrick who was raised in a Lithuanian Catholic Church and now had a Muslim step father. He was a good looking guy with a military hair cut, clean cut, in the PE building. I talk with him about other religions and the difference between Christianity and other religions. He was interested after I went through the Gospel with him so I gave him the Student Edition of the Case For a Creator saying his step father would also like a lot of it. He seemed very receptive.

 

So thanks for your prayers for the ministry. I felt God leading me and I think a couple of the students I spoke with were close to the kingdom of God.

 

In Him,

Bob

Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

 

I hope your day was blessed and if you live near me you are bracing for the next cold snap this weekend. The lake keeps us warm longer in fall and cold longer in spring I guess. I had a good day on campus and Erick prayed with me to receive Jesus.

 

Erick was sitting in a line of chairs and benches along the wall outside the cafeteria. He was wearing dark blue shorts and a t-shirt of the same color. He had a mop of dark hair, short and slight he looked Latino with a Roman nose. He said he went to a Christian church pretty often. When I asked him what he would say to God to get into heaven he said, “I don’t know if saying something would get you into Heaven, I think it’s your actions from before.” He was sure he would get into heaven however, 100%. He liked the illustrations and I asked him, “How does God take away your sin?” Auspiciously so He can live inside you and he said, “I don’t know, because I died?” I went on to explain the Gospel then and he took it all in and believed. I asked him if he would want to be forgiven for his sins with God living inside him or if he thought something else and he said, “I would want to be forgiven.” I walked him through the prayer and asked if that expressed the desire of his heart and he said, “Pretty much.” So I said he could pray it then silently to receive forgiveness and he said, “Can I do it in my head?” And I said, “For sure.” He was thankful it seemed then and so I went on to explain living inside out saying in Christianity we don’t do good things on the outside to transform us on the inside we ask God to transform us on the inside and become good men and do good things on the outside. He didn’t have a Bible so I gave him one and showed him the “Where to Turn” section which he liked since it gives you places to turn. I wrote his name and the date and “forgiven” under it. I gave him 20 Things God Can’t Do and wrote “By the Spirits Power” in the front explaining that anything God was asking him to do he would given him the power to do. I also gave him a Bible Study. “Thanks,” he said getting up to leave. I said maybe I’d see him in heaven and he smiled at that and said, “Have a good one.” “Thanks, you too man.” I replied and headed into the cafeteria.

 

So Thanks for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism today if you had a chance. God blessed.

 

In Him,

Bob

Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

 

I hope your day was blessed and if you live near us you enjoyed the warm air. I had a good day on campus and Ayowole [ I owe waal ai] prayed with me to receive Christ. I had a good apologetic discussion with a guy named Luke too. He had sharp features, a couple days growth of beard and brown hair combed back. He took The Case for a Creator to read, having lost his faith to the pseudo-science he had forced on him in High School.

 

Ayowole was from Nigeria and was headed out the door of the BIC I came in, cutting across from the PE building. He had a few minutes or so to answer some questions. He had a rough-top afro, rough skin and was wearing a jacket and jeans. (We sat at the south east end of the BIC building doors on some chairs). When I asked him what he would say to God to get into Heaven, he thought for a moment and said, “Because I’ve tried my best everyday to make people around me happy.” He said he’d been raised in a Christian home and went to church. “So basically you’d say being a good person gets you to Heaven and that’s what you meant?” He agreed he’d thought that. When I asked him the likelihood was he would go to Heaven when he died he said, “I can’t say.” He knew Jesus had died to take away his sins and so was familiar in part with the Gospel. So I explained, “Well you pretty much knew this but you were not trusting in it. You have knowledge. Your knowledge has to become faith, where you are trusting in what Jesus has done.” As I finished explaining everything, I asked if he wanted to be forgiven, or if he thought something else. He wanted to be forgiven with God living inside him.  I said if he wanted to be forgiven, then all he needed to do was tell God he had faith in this and he could pray. So I read through the prayer with him and asked if he wanted to pray it silently so only God could hear. “Yeah, ” he replied. “I like that.” And he prayed with me to receive Christ and thanked me. I gave him 20 Things God Can’t Do writing “By the Spirit’s power” in the front, having explained a bit of living “Inside out.” I used the book to show him a couple chapters, saying everything God was asking him to do He also gave him the power to do.  I wrote his name and the date and ‘forgiven”. “Thanks for sharing this with me,” he said. I told him he was welcome and I would see him in Heaven giving him a Bible Study and I headed out.

 

So thanks for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism today if you had a chance. God truly blessed.

Bob

Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

 

I hope your day was blessed. I had a good day on campus, Daniela and  Ashley each prayed with me to receive Christ. I had a good conversation with Natalia who was open and took The Case for Christ to read.

 

Daniela was waiting for her friend to get out of class sitting in the chairs leading into the tunnel to the PE building out of the BIC. She did a survey with me to pass the time. She had braces on her teeth and dark brown shoulder length hair, was wearing a hooded sweatshirt and jeans. When I asked her what she would say to get into Heaven she said, “”Cause I really really want to go… I don’t know, I feel like for 20 years my only goal was to get into Heaven, if I don’t get in you’ll completely crush me.” She said this a bit tongue and cheek but I think she was sincere in her desire to go to Heaven and wasn’t sure how that worked. She thought she had a 50/50 chance to get in. She listened closely to the gospel and had a good sense of humor. As I spoke she’d reply and tuck her hair behind her ears. Her friend showed up but got interested in her phone and politely waited for Daniela to finish. She knew Jesus had died to take away her sins. I explained how this made it possible for Christ to live inside her and that His righteousness was hers as a gift from God. I asked her if she would want to be forgiven for her sins with God living inside her and she meekly said, “I would want God inside me.” I said if she wanted to she could ask God for that and I talked through the prayer with her. She didn’t want to pray out loud but I assured her praying silently was better as it was just between her and God. She silently prayed to receive Jesus. I explained the Christian life to her then, telling her about the fruit of the Spirit as a kind of Christian super power where God could transform us on the inside and then we would have the power to do things on the outside. I gave her 20 Things God Can’t Do and wrote By the Spirit” her name and the date and “forgiven” in the front. I then told her everything God was asking her to do He would give her the power to do. I told her when the time in the service for the Mass came that it was symbolic of His body and blood commemorating that He had died for her and she could just take the time to say “thank you” because she was forgiven. I explained if she was trusting in the righteousness of Christ to be her righteousness that the likelihood she would go to Heaven was 100%. She had joy in that I think.  I gave her a Bible study as she got up to go realizing with some urgency her friend had been waiting. “Thank You” she said and headed out.
Ashley was waiting for an appointment with a teacher and did not have much time. She said her “Religions class” had provoked some questions. So I began explaining the Gospel to her as she sat on the edge of the next little lounge east of where we have Bible Study. She wore jeans tucked into over the knee boots and wore a cardigan sweater over a blouse. She had straight black shoulder-length hair. She was African American, had smaller features and  a pretty face. She was unsure how God took away her sins. So I took out a booklet to show her some bible verses. I got through the gospel entirely and she had to run to her appointment and wanted to be forgiven so I explained she needed to receive Christ’s forgiveness and read through the prayer with her. “Did you pray that as I read,” I asked, “Yes I read it with you.” “Amen?” “Amen,” she replied emphatically. I explained living inside out quickly and just as quickly gave her the student edition of The Case for Christ. “Can I keep this?” she hurriedly asked. “Yes, keep it. It might help some questions in class.” I gave her a Bible study too. “Thank you so much!” she said hurrying down the hall. “You’re welcome,” I said after her and heading off.
So Thanks for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism today if you had a chance, God truly blessed.

 

In Him,

Bob

Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

 

I hope ya had a great day walking with Jesus. I  a great day on campus and 3 students prayed with me to receive Jesus. Jacob, Terri and Victoria each prayed with me to receive Christ as savior.

 

Jacob was sitting on the second floor of the BIC waiting to go into class playing a mindless game on his phone. I say mindless as he answered all the survey questions while finishing up a round without a hitch. As I went through the Gospel he began to pay attention and slipped the phone in his pocket. He was a small statue guy, pretty thin too, wore jeans and a jacket and looked Latino; with sharp features and short dark stick straight hair, the front combed back. He said he went to Church every week with his parents. When I asked him what he would say to God if asked why He should let him into Heaven he said, “‘Cause I tried my best to care about everybody, help everyone when I can.” He thought he’d have an 80% chance of going to Heaven. He listened to the Gospel and knew Jesus had died to take away his sins. I asked him if he wanted to be forgiven for his sins and he seemed to want to be, he wasn’t real solid in his response. I said to him, “Well you know you are a kid and grow up in the Church and you feel fine there, nothing bugs ya. But when you grow up you have to make a decision on what you believe for yourself as an adult.” So I read through the prayer with him and asked him if it was the desire of his heart and he said it was so I said he could pray asking God for his forgiveness. “How would you do it?” he asked. I said he could pray the prayer silently in his heart and God would hear and forgive him, “Just pretend I’m not even here,” I said. He took the booklet then and prayed. I gave him 20 Things God Can’t Do and explained living by the Spirit’s power writing his name and “forgiven” in the front and gave him a symbolic view of the mass saying when he took it he could just say, “thank you”. He had to run to class, the hall had emptied so I had not time to say more but I gave him a Bible study and told him I would pray for him and he thanked me and headed off to class.

 

Terri is an older black woman she had a parka on and khaki green pants and a flannel shirt. Her hair was braided in two think braids on the top of her head. She had a frank face. She was articulate and was at school to study video production thinking she might try to make some money on YouTube. When I asked her what she would say to get into heaven she said, “I would say, ‘I have tried to be a good person all my life, on that note I believe that you should let me in.'” She thought she had a 90% chance of going to Heaven. She was not sure how God took away her sins simply repeating what I had said so far, “He lives inside me so that’s how He forgives me.” This is obviously not the answer to the question, “So how does God take away your sins so He can live inside you.” I just said, “Well, this is how it works.” and began to explain the gospel, with each thing I said she adopted it as her own and I affirmed that, learning as we went. She enjoyed listening and at one point stopped me, asserting that “people could not just say they were saved and live anyway they wanted” and I agreed saying that would mean they were liars. That people might backslide into a bad place for a time and we could not judge their hearts but you should look like what you say you are. She agreed. So I asked her if she wanted to be forgiven with God living inside her, since she’d just said she’d hoped she was a good person and hadn’t seemed to know the Gospel. She said she did, so I offered her the prayer, talking her through it saying she could pray it quietly and God would hear, asking would she like to? “Oh yeah,” she replied. Then she took it and prayed. She seemed to pray it rather quickly so I asked if she’d prayed and she said yes. I explained the Christian life living inside out and by the Spirit’s power. I gave her the Book Bible Promises for You and wrote her name and the date and “Forgiven” inside. I gave her a Bible Study to read saying, “God Bless you.” “Alright have a good day.” she said.

 

Victoria was sitting up on the 3rd floor lounge the windows of which look out over the MAC arts outside concert area. She was dressed to the 9’s in over the knee leather boots and nice, high neck dress with a necklace. Her hair was in ringlets of curls highlighted light brown and she had long nails with rhinestone bling. Her small nose with a gem stone on the left side faced me; she was pretty, fair skin petite features. She went to a church that met in what had been a theater. I asked her what she would say to God if He asked why He should let her into Heaven and she said, “Oh my gosh that’s a really good question…” then thinking, “I would say because I love you.” She thought she had a 50/50 chance of going to Heaven. She listened to the Gospel and liked the stories it seemed. I was not sure if she had trusted in Christ and asked her and it seemed from what she said she wanted to be the kind of person who was trusting in Christ but felt like it was on again off again. I walked her through the prayer for forgiveness explaining it was asking God to make her the kind of person He wanted her to be, by God’s power living inside her by the Spirit. I asked if that prayer was the desire of her heart and she said it was so I asked if she’d had the chance to do that before, to receive forgiveness, and she said, “No”. So I said she could pray silently right there and be forgiven and asked her if she’d like to and she said, “I would.” and so I gave her the booklet and she prayed. I explained living by the Spirit asking for God to change her from the “Inside Out” and gave her 20 Things God Can’t Do writing “By the Spirit’s power” in the front and the date and “forgiven”. I gave her a Bible Study on ways Jesus claimed to be God. She gave me her e-mail to send her some stuff. And she thanked me and I headed out.

 

So thanks for your prayers for the Ministry and for evangelism today if you had a chance, God truly blessed.

 

In Him,

Bob

Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

 

I hope your day was blessed and the nearness of God was your good. I had a good day on campus and Kam prayed with me to receive Christ. Please pray for Shelly, a black girl (straight shoulder length hair, pretty smile) who is an agnostic after she felt at 18 God had allowed some bad things to happen to her. I gave her some Rose Publications on why believe the Bible and who I am in Christ after talking to her for some time. She wanted to keep the booklet with the Gospel in it I had gone through and admitted I had refuted one of her arguments. I left her with the thought she had not been entirely fair blaming God for the events in her life. She said she felt like she had been devoted to Him but had not received Him or been baptized. “It’s like you did not take the Doctor’s prescription and then blamed him for the disease.” That gave her pause, I think, as she thought of some action she had been responsible for outside the will of God that had led to some of the events of her life. Her community is ubiquitous with promiscuity so it was a fair guess she had not been obedient.
 

Kam was sitting in the MAC arts building lounge with his back against the gallery space working on a laptop in his lap. He’s African American and was wearing a faded red hoodie, his hair was short on the sides and combed into a defined wave cut on top. He had a clean cut beard. He said he played basketball and football. I normally would not have bothered someone working on a lap top but I’d only had a couple people to talk to all day so I gave it a shot. He said he’d answer some questions. When I asked him what he would say to God if asked why He should let him into Heaven, he said, “Throughout my life I’ve always tried to be in someone else’s footsteps before judging them.” He had gone to church when he was a kid but recently said he had decided to get more into it. This is something several people have said to me before praying to receive Christ. It seems to me like this is God beginning to draw them to Himself before he sends me around to talk to them to clearly explain the Gospel. He was very serious in listening to the Gospel so I let that guide my tone with him and explained everything through. When I asked him, “What was the big thing Jesus had done to take away your sins?” he thought for a second and guessed “baptism”. So I said that was symbolic and went on to describe what Jesus had done for him living a perfect life and dying for him and rising again, imputing His righteousness to those who believed. He said he wanted to be forgiven. I asked him if he believed Jesus was God had died for his sins and rose from the dead. He thought for a moment and said he did. So I said if he wanted to he could receive the forgiveness God was offering him by faith and talked him through the prayer, saying he could pray it silently. “This?” he said pointing at it, “Pray?” I said again he could pray it silently and asked if he would like to and he said, “Yeah.” He prayed then to receive Christ by faith and gratefully kept the booklet afterwards. I explained the life in Christ to him then, he said they had a Bible that had been “passed down” so I offered him one of his own and put his name in the front with the date and wrote forgiven under it and said, “The day after Martin Luther King died you found life.” He smiled at that. I gave him a Bible study and the 20 Things God Can’t Do book writing “By the Spirit’s Power” in the front and showed him some of the verses. I got his email. He thanked me then and I said I would keep him in my prayers every night for the next year and he thanked me again and shook my hand. I headed out and then went back prompted somehow to give him  Bible Promises for You book and he thanked me again for that and I left.

 

So thanks for your prayers for the ministry and evangelism today if you had a chance, God truly blessed.

 

Blessings,

Bob

Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

 

I hope your day was blessed today and you felt the nearness of God. I had a good day on campus. Did some “break-up with your psychologically disturbed now ex-girl-friend counseling” with Jake who had prayed to receive Jesus earlier this year (he was pretty heartbroken as the girl had cheated on him, cut school Monday in a zombie state and cried a lot, he was sleeping with her so that gave me a chance to explain why God said not to do that). And Tony prayed with me to receive Jesus.

 

Tony was sitting on the couches right outside the cafeteria just chillin’ out. He was wearing a winter cap and dressed in black workout clothes, had a bit of facial hair here and there. He was running and jumping for the track team. Small in stature, nice face deep smile lines around his mouth. He went to church. When I asked him what he would say to God to get into Heaven he said, “Because I did a lot of great things when I was on earth for people, for others.” He was sure he would go to heaven when he died. I began to go through the gospel with him and asked him what the big thing Jesus did to take away his sins so God could live inside him and he said, “He died.” So he knew the message a bit. I explained that what he had said was good to do but did not get him into heaven but trusting in Jesus and what HE had done and His righteousness did. He wanted to be forgiven for his sins but realized he had not been trusting in Christ. He admitted with a smile, it was true he’d though he would be good enough when I asked if he thought he’d done enough good things and God would be cool and forgive him. So I said he could change that by a simple prayer and trust in Jesus and I talked him through the prayer to receive Christ, asking if he wanted to pray it silently so God could hear. “Yes,” he said. He prayed then to receive Jesus. He had a Bible so I explained living by the power of the Spirit. I gave him the book 20 Things God Can’t Do. And in writing his name and the date, April 4 and “forgiven” realized MLK had died today. “Martin Luther King died today,” I said. ‘The day he died you were forgiven, pretty cool, and he agreed that was true and grinned. I got his e-mail to send him some stuff and said I would pray for him until next Spring and got up to leave and he said, “Appreciate it.” And I said, “Your welcome man,” and headed out.

 

So thanks for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism today if you had a chance God truly blessed and directed me.

 

In Him,

Bob

Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

 

I hope your day was blessed in the Lord. I had a good day on campus and Peter prayed with me to receive Jesus. Another guy Ben seemed very close, (a Christmas and Easter Christian) saying he’d think about it but thought he did believe Jesus was God and died for his sins and rose from the dead. “Seems like a great thing… I never took it for myself.” he said and he thanked me. Clean cut nice looking kid with a COD sweatshirt on sitting in the MAC.

 

Peter was sitting in the Science building in the hall at the end of the day. He had about a half hour before class and could talk a bit. He had skinny jeans on, tall thin, wearing a plaid shirt. He looked a bit like Waldo of “Where’s Waldo” fame (a lot of guys look like that dude it seems). He had like brown hair with a curly mop of hair cut very short on the side. His glasses were frameless on the bottom, nice smile.  He said he went to Church on Christmas and Easter. I asked him what he would say to God if he died and were asked why He should let him into heaven. He said, “I have no idea… I mean I’m an eagle scout, I help people, we’re supposed to design a project to help people, model the life of Christ, I followed His guidelines.” When I asked him the percentage likelihood he would get into heaven he said, 60%. I’ve no idea what the passing… [grade]. I’ve sinned before I think everybody sins.” So I began to tell him the Gospel and he was very enthusiastic, which was great, it seemed then like God was working in his heart and it turned out He was. I would finish a point and he would say, “Cool.” or “That’s awesome.” Or “That’s so cool.” I actually thanked him at one point unconsciously. It slipped out, I was just grateful he was believing. At the end I asked him if he would want to be forgiven with Christ living inside him or if he’d thought he was a pretty good guy and hoped things would work out. “Well before I would have said as you said, the second one but now after listening to this I realize I should say I believe Jesus has died for me.” So I said if he wanted to there was a prayer he could pray telling God that and he could be forgiven trusting in Christ and after taking him through it I asked if he’d like to pray it and he said, “Sure.” He prayed in a barely audible volume then and received Christ as his savior. That was really great as I’d been walking around for 2 and half hours with only one optimistic contact with Ben. He did not have his own Bible so I gave him one showing him the “Where to Turn” section to which he said, “That’s awesome.” I wrote his name in the front and the date and “forgiven” under it and he thanked me. I explained the Holy Spirit’s power to live the Christian life and wrote “By the Spirit’s power” in the front of 20 Things God Can’t Do and gave him a Bible Study. Then he had to run to class saying he’d try to make the Bible Study some time. I thanked him for talking to me and headed out.

 

So thanks for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism today if you had a chance, God truly blessed.

 

In Him,

Bob
