Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Hope you had a great day walking with Jesus.  I had a good day today and Junior prayed to receive Christ.  Everyone was a no show at Bible Study.  That’s the breaks of late.  Community college students are pretty easy going in their commitments.  We are fine with whatever God brings though, so Ellen and I talked for 40 minutes and each ate a cookie.  As we got up to leave, Gil, who prayed to receive Christ this year walked in so I walked over and talked him through some of the Bible study I’d printed up and we talked for about an hour until he left for class.  That was good as he sent me his email to get some more stuff.  I headed out as I had to get my guitar to go to my lesson that gives me student rights on campus (not that great yet).  Junior, from Ghana, was sitting on the window ledge in the doorway out to the lot and I felt prompted to talk to him.  He was a good-looking guy, dark skinned with a pretty heavy colonial accent to my ear.  He had a shorter afro and a bit of a goatee.  When I asked him why God would let him into Heaven he said, “I’m a Christian, I follow God’s way… go to church, what’s in the Bible, knowing that why shouldn’t you let me in.”  So kind of a less miraculous version of Matthew 7:22.  But this kind of response isn’t uncommon and often, after hearing the Gospel because the student I am talking to thinks of themselves as a Christian and knows Christ died, they will assume they have been trusting in that regardless of their previous response.  Junior had a similar one but I reminded him what he had said, and explained what I meant again and asked him what he had been trusting in.  He thought for a moment and said, “In my own goodness.”  So I offered him a prayer he could pray and having said he wanted to be forgiven and prayed it.  So that was great.  I gave him a copy of More Than a Carpenter to read.  I also gave him a Bible study on the Deity of Christ and got his email to send him some more things later this week.

So thanks for your prayers for the ministry and may God bless you this week as walk by His Spirit.

In Him,

Bob Bollow

Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
I hope your day was filled with God’s guidance as you walked in the Spirit.  I had a good day on campus, preaching the good news and Shane prayed to receive Christ as his Savior . He had short hair, receding a bit at the temples, and a faint growth of a beard.  He goes to a Lutheran Church in Winfield not far from where I live.  Pretty straight up normal looking guy.  He runs track at COD.  He was sitting in the PE building killing some time and said he’d answer some questions.  He said he thought God would let him into Heaven because he believed and was sure he would go.  He knew Christ had died for his sins, but still tuned into the Gospel closely and as I finished said he would want to be forgiven.  I asked him if, when he prayed for forgiveness, he just figured he was a good guy and God would forgive him, he went to church and stuff, or if he thought that he was trusting in what God had done for him with the Death of Christ on the cross.  “What should I be thinking or what am I thinking?” he asked.  “What have you been thinking?” I replied.  “The first one you said,” he responded.  So I explained that he really had not received Christ.  I’d already told him I grew up in the Lutheran Church and so I said, “You know when you are a kid you go to church with your parents and do what they do, but you’re in college now, you’re a man, and you have to decide what you believe for yourself.”  He agreed and I walked him through a prayer he could pray where he told God he wanted to accept His forgiveness and receive Christ, telling him he could pray it in his head.  He took the prayer from me and prayed it and smiled.  I said, “Hey, your sins are forgiven, not because I say so of course but because that is what the Bible teaches.”  He smiled and nodded.  I explained asking for the help of God in everything by the Holy Spirit living in him.  I found out he was really into the NBA and gave him the book Playing with Purpose and a Bible study on Christ’s claims to be God in the NT.  We talked for a while.  He was a great guy, and when I got up off the adjacent couch where I’d been sitting to leave he stood to shake my hand and thanked me and was visibly happy.  That was great.  I got his email to send him stuff but must have copied it down wrong as it came back, so I’ll look for him next week to see if I can get it again.  Please pray I find him so I can send him another Bible study.

I had also had a long, encouraging conversation with a French speaking girl from the Congo.  Her name was Gypsia,  and she knew Christ.  She’d been saved in Africa.  It was good to hear her story of how God had brought her to faith.

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

In Him,
Bob Bollow

Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

Well, I hope your day was blessed walking with Christ.  I had a good day sharing the faith with the peeps on campus and Michel’le [mish e lay] Jemile [Jm eel] and Xander prayed to receive to Christ today.

Michel’le and Jemile were sitting side-by-side in the BIC building, killing time between class.  They were dating (I have walked by them before sitting close to each other holding hands or whatever.)  But today they seemed alert and in the moment, so I asked if they wanted to answer some questions and they were cool with it.  African American students, Michel’le had braces and full lips with her hair pulled back, brown tints, really bubbly.  Jemile was a good looking guy, kinda short, with a bears logo backpack, afro, little goatee and wisp of a mustache.  They were friendly.  It seemed Michel’le went to church more often and knew the story of Christ as I went through it.  Both had been sure they were going to Heaven but were trusting in being good (and recognized this later) though Michel’le with more of a religious spin on hers (I’m trying to do His will, what He wants me to do, be an honest person.)  Jemile just thought he was good enough.  I explained they had to be perfect [Matt 5:48] as their heavenly Father was perfect and they agreed no one was and this would mean everyone went to Hell.  They paid close attention to the Gospel and both trusted Christ as their Savior and prayed to receive Christ.  Jemile did not want anything but the booklet, but Michel’le took a copy of the book Enjoying Your Walk with God to read and I gave them each a Bible study.  I also got Michel’le email address to send her more things.

Xander was sitting having just finished lunch, looking outside at the counter that runs the length of the cafeteria.  It is a good place to find peeps as they sit alone and no one can tell what I am talking to them about as my back is to the room.  Xander was at the end of the counter and was happy to talk.  “Sure I’ll do that,” he said really cheerfully.  He is Asian, short hair, boyish good looks, taller, perfect skin so it made him look a bit younger.  He went to a Catholic Church in St.Charles.  He said God would let him into Heaven because, “I gave back to the people, I did what I could.”  Not sure exactly what that meant unless he is really rich.  Sounds like something you’d say if you came from a poor neighborhood and turned into a millionaire.  He was a really nice guy.  He tuned right in to the Gospel, but wasn’t quite sure how to answer when I asked him, “What is the really big think God does with Jesus to take away the sins of the world?”  He thought for a while and guessed, “Confession?” a bit hesitantly.  I explained, like I have before to peeps, that only God can forgive sins [this is actually Roman Catholic doctrine] and the priest is like an insurance agent you buy car insurance from.  When you wreck your car the agent does not pay, the company he reps for pays.  The Priest can only tell you your sins are forgiven by God because of what God does through Jesus.  Then I explained the Gospel to him and the imputed righteousness of Jesus and he said, “That make a lot of sense.”  I explained he needed to receive Christ, to trust in what He had done.  Xander wanted to do that, not feeling sure he had trusted in that before as his answer before would suggest.  He prayed to receive Christ and was really happy about it, which was great to see.  He was really into the NBA so I was glad Jemile had not been into it or wanted the book, Playing with Purpose since I only had one copy and I gave it to Xander.  It had Jeremy Lin on the cover so that was cool as he seemed into him.  (Which reminds me, I need to put more extra books in my truck.)  He gave me his email to send him a story and a Bible study too so that was great.  He seemed really grateful and glad and I said I would see him in Heaven.

So Thanks for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism today if you had a chance.  God blessed my day and I’m grateful for your help.

In Him,

Bob Bollow

Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

Well, I hope you had a good day walking with the Lord.  I had a pretty good day out sharing the Gospel, and Madelene prayed with me to receive Christ.  She is African American with a bit of an accent from overseas.  She had full features, nice, average looking girl with long braids past her shoulders.  She was waiting for a ride at the doors by the book store and I asked her if she would answer some questions.  After I asked her why God would let her into Heaven she said she did not know, so I launched into the Gospel.  She was attentive and asked some questions.  She went to Church regularly but had never asked to be forgiven based on what Jesus had done and I could tell the story was novel to her.  So I pulled out a booklet to show her a of couple verses (having already quoted several others to her) and offered her the prayer that she read through and she asked, “Should you say ‘Savior and Lord’ or ‘Lord and Savior’?”  I explained, “Most places in the NT the word for Lord means ‘God’, so once you think about it that way it does not matter.”  She was fine with that finished reading and I said, “You could pray the prayer now.”  She hesitated, but once I said she need not pray it out loud she was fine with it and prayed to receive Christ.  She borrowed my phone then, and found out her ride was not coming.  “I need a bus schedule,” she said and so I walked her toward student activities.  She took a Bible study from me but said she was sure she would not have time to read any more books.  We talked as we walked about where to get them on line more cheaply.  She wanted to attend Elmhurst college and I talked to her about the Greek sorority on campus that had a scholarship that usually worked there and pointed her to student activities to ask about that.  I left her once we were in sight of the Student activities office, as I try not to appear within eye shot of the bureaucrats therein.

I bumped into some other peeps who knew the Lord or who I had talked to before and it was a pretty good day since Madelene prayed. 🙂

So thanks so much for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism on campus today if you had a chance, God was Good.

In Him,

Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

How was your Friday?  Hope you were blessed walking with Jesus.  I had a good day doing evangelism on campus and Jimena, a Latina girl, prayed to receive Christ and Cherise, an African American girl, committed to Christ.

Jimena was sitting on some couches against the wall just 20 feet down from the student activities window.  But it was late in the day so I thought I could get away with talking to her without the cops being called on me by bureaucrats who would be concerned with getting out the door for the weekend, and it worked out that way.  She had thick, brown hair, parted on the side and was small, pretty face, bright smile.  Her grandmother used to take her to church but her parents did not go so she had stopped going.  As to why God should let her into Heaven she said, “I’ve never done anything to hurt…” Then seemed to remember someone she’d hurt and changed to “I’ve never committed any crimes or done anything that wouldn’t let me into Heaven.”  She was interested to hear the Gospel though, and afterwards she believed in Jesus and said wanted to be forgiven with this smile on her face that kind of said, “What do I get,” like she had won a prize.  So I walked her through the prayer she could pray to ask for forgiveness and receive Him and she prayed to receive Christ. I gave her the Student Edition of The Case for Christ to read and a Bible study.

I felt compelled to go over to the PE building at the end of the day and found Cherise and Dreyloen [dry lin] sitting together (they were a couple).  He had a mustache and a small goatee and sharp, straight features, good looking guy.  Cherise had fuller features and had dyed her afro brown.  It was pulled back behind a hair band.  She was cute.  Dreyloen said, “She’ll do it,” volunteering Cherise to answer some questions about God.  He answered them too and professed Christ and knew he was “a sinner” and was trusting in Christ to save him.  But his correct answers to my questions did not change the things Cherise said.  When I asked her why God should let her into Heaven, ” she’d say, ‘I need a chance… and that I did all good things, not a lot of bad things.'”  So after she heard the Gospel she said she believed and wanted to be forgiven.  She hadn’t heard it before, but both of them had attended church.  She did not want to pray then though, possibly because her boyfriend was sitting right there who has said he was trusting in Jesus to forgive him.  I asked her if she believed in Jesus and she got a big smile on her face and said she did, so I am hopeful she received Him.  I gave Dreyloen Playing with Purpose and Cherise the Student Edition of The Case for Faith to read.  And that ended my Friday at school.

So thanks for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism yesterday if you had a chance. God blessed my time at school and I had several encouraging conversations with Christians too.

May God bless your weekend!

In Him,

Bob Bollow

Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I hope your day was blessed walking with God.  We had a good day doing a bit of discipleship on campus and later Taj prayed to receive Christ.  He is a Black guy who is from Matteson, IL playing football at COD.  He has dreadlocks to his shoulders, not that big a guy, just a wisp of a goatee on his chin.  He was wearing what looked like a track suit and red hiking boots.  He was just sitting on the stairs in the PE building, in the exact spot Duke was sitting last week.  And they could have been brothers except Taj is smaller.  He seemed pretty bright but he had no idea how God took his sins away through the work of Christ.   Even when I said, “it’s with the Cross” he showed no sign of recognition, though he said he went to church regularly back home with his mother.  The thing he wanted to do before he died he said was “make his mom happy.”  He struggled over the idea of why God should let him into heaven,  just saying, “I never gave up on anything.”  Which tells you some of the ethic he was raised with, since for most part the question sounds like, why are you good enough to go to heaven or what good thing have you done to earn it.  This was true for him.  But he listened to the Gospel attentively and was actually excited that Christ’s righteousness was to his credit.  He wanted to be forgiven when I asked him, after I went through the Gospel with him and I walked him through the prayer and he prayed it out loud as we sat.  I gave him a copy of Playing with Purpose to read, as he was into the NBA, and a Bible study on Jesus’ claims to be God.  I got his e-mail to send him some stuff, so that was good.  As I left he was really happy.  I got to talk only briefly to one other girl who said she was not going to have time so I gave her a booklet and a Bible study in the hope she might learn more.

So thanks so much for your prayers for the Bible study and evangelism today or just for the ministry if you had a chance, God truly blessed.
In Him,

Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

I hope your day was blessed as mine was and you walked by God’s Spirit.  I had a good day on campus and Katie and Edwardo prayed with me to receive Christ.  I parked in the front of the school just to change it up and walked in on the second floor today.  Talked to a couple peeps, a guy I know and a lost guy who couldn’t even answer the questions I usually ask existentially.  So I went through the Gospel with him, left, and then found Katie sitting alone around the corner about to take a laptop out of her pack.  She said she’d answer some questions, and part way in she admitted she wasn’t a student at COD but at St Mary’s attached to Notre Dame.  She was just on a spring break and waiting for her brother to get out of class.  This was really fortuitous for her as she got to hear the Gospel and come to Christ.  She said she was raised “Secular” and that her parents were Catholic but had not taken them to Church.  But she had begun to attend Mass at school and was thinking about going through the catechism process of the Catholic Church.  She was hoping in her own goodness to go to Heaven but had little sense that she would go there.  I began teaching her the Gospel and explaining a more biblical view of Salvation, taking her through some issues I thought she might encounter.  In the end she said she wanted to be forgiven and prayed to receive Christ and have God’s spirit live inside her.  I talked her through some Bible verses and on the Holy Spirit’s work and depending upon Him.  She was very receptive and friendly and she picked out The Case for a Creator to read.  I also gave her a Bible study on Christ’s claims to be God in the New Testament and encouraged her to email me with any questions she might have. So that was really great.

Later I was talking to a girl who described herself as Spiritual and had no real interest in genuinely Spiritual things when Edwardo walked up and asked me, “Hey you know Dilette (rhymes with gillette razors) right?”  I remembered a girl who had come to Christ last year named Delete and she has decided to call herself by more than one pronunciation of her name.  I see her a lot in the hall and Edwardo said he had some questions about his life so she sent him to me.  I asked him if he would wait 5 minutes in the chairs about 15 yards down the hall.  I finished up the Gospel with the girl I’d been speaking too and then we talked.  I explained the Gospel to him and the meaning and purpose in life through God living inside us and having a greater purpose for life’s events than we can often understand.  He had been to catholic church some as a kid, so I explained the story of Jesus paying for his sins and giving him His imputed righteousness.  I asked, “Does the story of Jesus and what He has done for you on the Cross resonate with you?”  He said it did and so I asked him if he believed Jesus had died for his sins and he said he did.  So I showed him some Bible verses and asked him if he would like to pray to receive Jesus and be forgiven.  He said, “Yes” and did so, so that was awesome.  I gave him a copy of the interactive DVD I have that answers 50 questions about the faith and Christ. And he was really happy.

So thanks for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism today if you had a chance.  Please pray Katie and Edwardo would grow in faith.

In Him,

Bob Bollow

Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

How was your day walking with Christ? I  had a good day talking to the peeps and had some great conversations and Duke, an African American guy, and Brygette, a pretty Latina girl who prayed to receive Christ.  Unfortunately as I ended the day and was about to go through the Gospel with my last peep a guy threatened to call the cops on me. I  have no idea who he was, but he was carrying his laptop in a plastic grocery bag so I am pretty sure he was not a student.  He did not even know my name.  I’ll have to look for the girl later as he interrupted me, claimed I was inviting people to Church, and we, according to him, had spoken before and I had invited him to church (I’ve never invited peeps at COD to church).  He claimed that was soliciting.  I explained to him I was a student and was not soliciting anything, just inviting students to a Bible study.  He claimed that was just like a church and the police had told him to inform them if he saw me.  He went on to explain he was stopped from soliciting people about Chick-Fil-A over something he disapproved of that they were doing.  But since he was threatening to call the police, and felt himself to be their duly appointed deputy of all things anti-1st amendment rights on campus, I moved on since I was on my way out when I spoke to the girl.  I left, as a conversation with policemen never goes my way.  I was at my locker and on the road faster than they could get to the spot I was at on the other side of campus and I lived to evangelize another day.  I have a little paint job tomorrow so that will help them be sick of scouting for me if they choose to tomorrow.

Duke was sitting in the PE building on the stairs as I went out.  I’d just helped a Roman Catholic girl (Sam) understand that faith alone saved her, and she in the end saw purgatory was unnecessary as well, so that was great.  Duke said he would talk.  He had long hair that broke into dreadlocks, the tips of which were died brown at his shoulders and a little Goatee.  He was wearing blue track sweats.  He had gone to church off and on.  He said, “I been loyal with my life even though I don’t attend church that much.  I still believe in God.  He still blesses me. I ask for forgiveness for my sin each day.”  He seemed to me like a great guy but he did not know the Gospel at all or how God took away his sin with the work of Jesus.  I made sure I was really clear explaining everything to him point by point, asking him if he understood because it was all obviously new to him.  He’d thought he had a 50/50 shot at Heaven and he wanted to be forgiven in the end.  He was really attentive, but to make sure I said, “Do you believe that Jesus was God and died for you and rose from the dead and trust this will take away your sins?”  He said, “Yes sir.”  (He was saying yes sir after any point when I asked him if he understood, but hey I am getting kind of old looking.)  I showed him the prayer asking, after I explained it, if this was what he wanted and he said it was.  So I offered for him to pray it and he did.  He did not have a Bible and said he’d like one so I gave him the New American Standard Bible I had and a copy of Playing with Purpose.  I explained the Bible study on Jesus’ claims to be God I gave him and the Holy Spirit’s work.  He gave me his e-mail so I can send him some stuff.  It was a great conversation.  He was a genuine good guy.  I told him I would pray for him and he thanked me and I left.

I went over to the MAC arts building and found Brygette.  She had curly hair, pretty, dressed nice.  She had gone to the Bible Church’s Spanish-speaking service where her mom still attended, having gone back since she got cancer.  But she thought her good outweighed her bad.  I told her a fictional story about a guy who had been horrible to her.  He was stealing her stuff, selling it for drugs and sleeping with another woman while they were dating.  When she spotted the tattoo of the other woman’s name she broke up with him when he confessed he’d been drunk, slept with her, and gotten the ink done.  A week later he comes back and says to her, “Brygette I know I have been horrible to you and I feel bad about it so I want you to know I am gonna be nice to my next 3 girlfriends” I told her she’d tell him, “That doesn’t help me at all!”  “See” I said, “you can’t do good stuff over there to fix your bad stuff here.  Your bad stuff is still out there messing with people.”  She took my point, though I could tell she wanted to hang on to hers.  But after I had gone through the Gospel she was moved to faith and said she wanted to be forgiven and claim the righteousness of Christ as His gift to her.  She was really nice and prayed to receive Christ in a half whisper as I held the words out to her I had explained.  I gave her the Student edition of The Case for Christ to read and a Bible study.  I told her about a story I could send her, so she gave me her e-mail and we talked about disappointment at church and stuff.  So after we’d talked a bit more and she’d given me her e-mail, I promised to pray for her and got up to go and she said “Don’t forget to send me that story” and I promised I would.

I had other good conversations too so thanks so much for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism today if you had a chance, God really blessed.

In Him,

Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Hope your day was blessed.  I had a great day walking around sharing the faith with students and 3 prayed to receive Jesus today. Two girls, Sam and Taylor, and a guy named Kaven.

Sam and Taylor were sitting at a table tucked away beside the vending machines in a lounge on the 1st floor of the BIC.  I had walked past since I usually look for someone sitting alone, but I had a second thought that they both might be willing to talk.  So I went back and they were friendly.  Sam has stick-straight blonde hair, mostly light with some brown mixed in and Taylor had brown, wavy hair.  Both were cute.  It came out, when I asked them why God should let them into Heaven, that Taylor wanted to see her brother who had died when he was 17 and Sam had dated him.  Sam said she had a strong faith.  Neither of them could tell me how God had taken away their sins, though both were reasonably sure they would go to Heaven.  Sam had attended a small Baptist Church and Taylor had gone to a community church for a while with other friends who had taken her.  It was in her neighborhood.  So the Gospel had never really been put together for them and laid out clearly.  They responded well to the bible verses and listened clearly and when I offered them the chance to be forgiven they both wanted to pray to receive Christ.  I walked them through the prayer and they said they wanted to pray.  I gave them each a booklet to pray and they did.  So that was great.  They took the booklets I use some of the Bible verses out of, and I had explained the Holy Spirit to them.  I gave them each Bible study on the deity of Christ to read, though they did not want a book to read.  So I will be praying that they get back into a good church.

Kaven doesn’t attend COD, but he was willing to talk, having some time to kill.  It never came up what he was doing at school.  He is a bit on the round side, had a mustache and a few days growth of a beard, wore glasses, brown hair combed back.  Looked like a musician somehow :-).  Nice guy, he was dressed pretty nice.  He hadn’t been to church since he was a kid but was interested in the Gospel and understood it clearly after I walked him through it.  He said he’d like to be forgiven, so I asked him if he believed the story of Christ and that He was God and had died and rose again to pay for his sins.  He said, “Well, yeah I was raised that way.”  But he had never asked God to forgive him of his sins based on what Jesus had done.  I encouraged him that he had to choose these things for himself as an adult.  I asked him if he would want to follow God and give his life to Him.  I walked him through the prayer and he took it and prayed and brightened a bit.  That was good to see.  He said he’d had a Bible but it was lost in a move, which was why his family had stopped attending church.  They’d moved and lost the habit.  So I gave him a Bible to read and explained the work of the Holy Spirit to him.  I offered him a book and he was interested in The Case for a Creator.  He was into science.  I told him I would keep him in my prayers and it was good to meet him and we shook hands and I left.

I also had some really encouraging conversations with Christians today who understood things more clearly and were grateful.  A girl Cassidy, straight brown hair, intelligent looking, who played the viola in the symphony in a nearby town took The Case for Christ from me to read, saying she’d like to learn more about God.  Her parents had raised her with no faith.  And a black girl, Latisha, had to run to class but heard everything but the offer to pray before she ran off and was really tuned in as I spoke.  So I sent her off with the booklet and I hope to see her again.  I pray each night for God to be with the seeds I planted as I know many peeps were close to the kingdom of God and I hope He will continue to work to bring them to Himself.

So thanks for your prayers today for the Ministry and for evangelism if you had a chance. I’m grateful for your help, and God gave me a very productive day walking with Him.

In Christ our Lord,

Bob Bollow

Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Well, I hope your day was blessed walking with the Lord.  I had a good day and Kevin, a Presbyterian guy, came to Christ so that was cool.  He has brown hair, kinda cut across the front like Friar Tuck – you know from Robin Hood?  Except he is not bald on top and his face was not quite as round either.

He was a fresh-faced looking guy, wearing a jacket and getting ready to go home.  He agreed to answer some questions if it wasn’t too long.  By the end of the Gospel though he was really grateful I had delayed him.  He hadn’t seem to be able to put together how his sins were forgiven, though he knew Jesus died it seemed.  His answer to the Why should God let you into Heaven? question showed this as he said, “I go to church every Sunday, believe in God, my whole family goes to Church… I think I would be accepted.”  I explained the righteousness of Christ to him and that both his Justification and Sanctification were from God alone.  And when I asked him, after I went through the Gospel, he confessed he had not been trusting in Christ and had been trusting in his own moral goodness.  And he wanted to pray to be forgiven. So he did. That was great. So I gave him a Bible study on the Deity of Christ and talked a bit about the Holy Spirit with him and he took a copy of The Case for a Creator.  H already had the book the Case for Christ.  And I got his e-mail to send him some stuff. He was really grateful and said, “It was great to meet you.”

So thanks for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism today if you had a chance. I’m grateful for the help as God leads me about on campus. 79 people have prayed to receive Jesus this school year and several more orally committed their life to Him.

In Him,

Bob Bollow
