Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

I hope your day was blessed with good will toward men and you prayed for peace or the destruction of God’s enemies by which it would then come. I had a slow day on campus and could not find anyone to talk to for hours until the end of the day. But they have taken up the tables for the weekly college recruiters and it’s pretty close to a ghost town for the most part. Or people are visibly dug in studying for a final so I don’t feel free to interrupt  At day’s end I had only spoken with Sam and he did commit to Christ, saying he would pray at a different time.  He was of course the last person I talked to today and the first. Please pray he grows in faith. His story is below if you have some time.

Sam had just finished his Subway sub, the empty wrapper as evidence of its demise on the table he sat alone at in the cafeteria. He had some time to do a student Survey. He had kind of a baby face mixed with a bit of dock worker/wreck it Ralf, smooth skin, not a big guy. I don’t think he could grow a beard at all. His hair was parted just a bit to the right and went up randomly like straw poking up. He wore generic sweats—blue grey. He wanted to be a businessman and said he’d thought about getting an ecommerce thing going but the shipping went up too high. I asked him what he would say to God if a bus killed him and he was asked, “Why should I let you into Heaven. “”Cause I’ve, ah, I’ve lived a decently moral life. I haven’t been decently in touch with my faith but I’ve always believed, Right now I’ve been more consistent, trying to pray every day.” He thought he had a 60% chance of going to Heaven saying he had some stuff to do. I sat across from him and held open the booklet and he silently followed along and when I asked him what the thing was that Jesus had done to take away the sins of the world he thought of a moment and said, “He was crucified.” I explained salvation by faith in the blood and righteousness of Christ and he was pretty much without a change of expression through it all. I asked if he would want to be forgiven trusting in what Jesus had done or thought something else. “I’d want to be forgiven of course.” I said if he wanted to be forgiven there was a prayer he could pray and I talked him through it and asked, “It says here is this prayer the desire of your heart?” “Yeah,” he said. I said he could pray it silently right then, I wouldn’t hear him but God would hear and he’d know he was forgiven. “I don’t have a lot of time right now,” he said. I said no worries, “Some other time.” “Yeah,” he nodded in a way to assure me that he would.  Do you believe Jesus was God died for your sins and rose from the dead, do you think that is a true story?” I asked. “Yeah,” he said without hesitating at all.  And do you trust in that then to be forgiven?” “Yeah,” he said. “So then your sins are forgiven,” I said and we bumped fists and he looked pleased. I offered him a book with Bible verses but he said he had all that kind of stuff already. So I said I’d be praying for him. I said that if he was trusting in the righteousness of Jesus to be his righteousness the likelihood he would go to Heaven was now 100% and I headed out.

So thanks for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism on campus. I hope Sam has truly believed and I will be praying for him.

In Christ,

Bob

Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I hope your day was blessed with all good things as we head toward winter. I had a good day on campus talking with some of the Students. Janelle just began going to Church and did not trust in the Lord yet, (pretty Latina face, full features, short hair, ringlet curls on her forehead).  Quin & Denise prayed to receive Jesus today. Please pray they both grow in their faith thanks for your prayers. Their stories are below if you have a chance. Today I talked with Maritza who I’ve been praying for since last year when she trusted Christ with her sister Yaritza, she needs prayer. They are both in bad relationships with the fathers (whom they have not married) of their children. Please pray they can be brought in alignment with 2Peter 1:5. Small cute Latina girls. They are impoverished and dependent on the state. I gave her good advice and steps to take, I hope by the Spirit’s power she will take them.

I came across Quin sitting in the hall of the BIC as I first came in through the computer building and stopped to hang up my coat. He had 2 inches of loose curly sandy-blonde hair on top, shorter sides and freckles on a clean-shaven, boyish face. He had on a light brown hooded sweatshirt. I asked him what he would tell God to try to get into heaven if he died. ‘That’s a tough question,” he replied while thinking. “I would say that [He should let me in] because I have like put my life in His hands almost every day. I’m trying to impress Him.” I said God had to take away his sins so he would be like God, “His type” like a blood transfusion. Then he would be perfect and holy and match God and He could live inside him. “Makes sense,” he replied. I asked what the big thing was that Jesus had done to take away the sins of the world and he said He was sacrificed. He listened closely to the Gospel and I asked if he would want to be forgiven or thought something else and he said, “Be forgiven.” So I said there was a prayer he could pray and talked him through it asking if it was the desire of his heart. “Yeah,” he replied and I said he could pray it now and know he was forgiven and God would live inside him asking if he’d want to do it. “Yeah,” he replied and took the booklet and prayed the pray out loud. We were along in the hallway. When I finished I told him the answer to how likely it was he was going to Heaven trusting now in the righteousness of Jesus to be his righteousness was 100%. I talked him through the Christian life reading the Bible and prayer and asking for the power of the Holy Spirit to transform him. I gave him Bible promises for you writing his name and the date and “forgiven!” in the front. “Thank you so much,” he replied taking the book. I gave him a Bible study and The Case for Christ Answer Booklet. He said it was soon his birthday and I talked about John 3 where Jesus told one of the Jewish leaders you have to be born of the Spirit. I said now he had a spiritual birthday right near his other one and wished him happy birthday. He thanked me again was visibly happy. He went to Catholic Church and so I gave him the original meaning of the Lord’s Supper in the Bible and said when he took it he should just say thank you. I told him I would pray for him each day saying I’d see him in Heaven. “Thank you so much,” he said again and I headed off.

At the end of the day I came across Denise sitting by the first set of vending machines in a lounge. She was at one of the 2 tables in an open area just east around the corner of where I’d been sitting with Quin. She was a Latina girl with pretty features, kind of a pug nose. Her long brown hair parted in the middle around the perfect skin of youth. I seem to notice that more these days as I wrinkle. Denise had a spring green blouse on and a cardigan sweater. She said she had been to Catholic Church as a kid and less so now. I asked her what she would say to God if she was killed by a bus, stood before Him and He asked, “Why should I let you into Heaven?” “That’s such a hard question,” she replied thinking and said, “The big think about God is He’s loving.” I nodded. “and the Golden Rule, I think I’ve done a lot of that,” she said. She thought she might have a 50/50 shot at going to Heaven. So I began to explain the gospel. She hadn’t really remembered at first that Jesus had died to take away her sins when I asked what he had done she wasn’t sure trying to help a bit I asked what she thought they might have said at Church and she said, “Repentance?” I said, “Yeah you repent and change your mind the real reason God forgives you is He is paid.” She listened then she listened and seemed to enjoy what I had to say about how she could be forgiven. I asked if she would want to be forgiven trusting in what Jesus had done and she said “Yes.” I asked if she believed Jesus was God had died for her sins and rose from the dead, if she thought that was a true story. She paused for a moment thinking and then said, “Yeah.” “If you wanted to put your trust in that to be forgiven there is a prayer you can pray,” I replied and explained a prayer for forgiveness saying she could pray it silently and I wouldn’t hear but God would hear and she’d be forgiven. I asked if she’d want to do that. She said “Yeah,” in a lighthearted tone of voice and took the booklet and prayed to receive Jesus. I told her then trusting in the righteousness of Jesus to be her righteousness the likelihood she would go to Heaven was 100%. “Thank you so much,” she replied. I said, “Can I give you a book with some bible verses in it?” “Sure,” she replied. I gave her Bible Promises for You writing her name and the date and “forgiven!” on the inside. I took the booklet back saying she could keep it and explained living the Christian life. She had a Bible and I told her John was a good place to read and the Christmas story was in Matthew and Luke. I explained living by the Spirit’s power asking God for help in everything. “Life is full of streets and God wants to help you cross all of them,” I said. I gave her a Bible Study and The Case for Christ Answer Booklet saying she might have time to read a bit over the break. I told her I would see her in Heaven being old I’d get there first and got up to go saying, “Have a good one, Merry Christmas.” “Bye, Merry Christmas,” she replied 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

May God bless ya this week.

Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

I hope your day was blessed and you found rest and peace in Jesus. The world is on the brink of being devastated with foolishness and even evil ideas, so we must pray.

I had a good day on campus today. Ben and Tanya each prayed to receive Jesus. Jorge said he wanted to be forgiven and was going to think about it. (He had ringlet curls coming out from under a cap and a couple days growth of teenage beard and braces for an overbite, wearing blue sweats on the third floor.) Ben and Tonya’s stories are below if you have some time to spend. Please pray they grow in their trust in Jesus blood and righteousness.

When I first got to school the parking lot was even more empty than usual, it’s so near exams and since many students are remote (online) these days. But I know God can have someone come early to class or set up somewhere they do not usually sit and lead me to them. So I prayed God would guide me and I seemed to have a nudge to go to the Mac Arts building. There were 3 students in the lounge with the Christmas tree in it.  Ben was sitting on the second floor at a counter height table looking more or less down at the tree. He had a starter beard beneath his chin line and a ball cap with a thin mustache that looked like it would eventually hold its own. He wore blue sweats and a hoodie with a small wolfs head on the chest. Oval face, looked like he had Spanish blood. He had a large pad of paper and looked to be sketching an open drawer for a class in pencil. I asked if he would do a survey and he asked, “Can I keep doing my homework?” I said sure he could just listen to me talk. But he stopped his sketching interested. He wanted to buy his parents a house. Several guys have told me that this year. I asked him what he would say to God if a bus killed him and God asked him why He should let him into Heaven. “That’s a hard question to answer,” he replied. And that’s about as far as he got. I asked if he went to church and he did each week. I asked what they might say would get you into Heaven. “Not sinning, going to Church each week and everything,” he replied. He thought he had a 50/50 chance of going to Heaven. I was trying to respect his time so I went right into the Gospel and he listened closely. He knew Jesus had died to take away the sins of the world. So I explained that His blood cleansed him and paid his debt with God for the perfect life he did not live. The righteousness of God earned by Christ was to his credit and he could receive this by faith and be forgiven. I asked, “So you wanna be forgiven for your sins?” Yeah,” he replied.  I said there was a prayer he could pray to be forgiven trusting in what Jesus had done and I walked him through it.  I said he could pray it silently and know he was forgiven and going to Heaven and asked if he’d want to. “Sure,” he said. And he prayed to receive Jesus. “Merry Christmas,” I said as he finished. I quickly talked him through the Christian life living by the Spirit’s power. I gave him a Bible Study and gave him Bible Promises for You and wrote his name and the date and “forgiven!” in the front telling him I’d be praying for him. I gave him The Case for Christ Answer Booklet and shook his hand saying he was forgiven. He thanked me. I explained how the mass was symbolic of the atonement. I got up to go and as I walked away I said; “Oh you know that question, ‘How likely is it you will go to Heaven when you die?’ That’s 100% if you trust in the righteousness of Jesus, because of Him.” “Nice. Thank you,” he replied. And I headed down the stairs.

Tanya was sitting in the hall on the second floor of the east building of the Science building just out of the doorway from the stairs. She looked to be near 40 had brown hair pulled back into a pony tail. She wore a grey sweat suit, had a narrow short face and when she stood was maybe 5’3”. It turned out she went to a local mega Church. When I asked her what she would say to God to be let into Heaven she said, “Because I took care of others before I took care of myself.” “There’s a Bible verse for that… consider others as more important than yourself,” I said in a paraphrase of Philippians 2:3,4. She was 100% sure she would go to Heaven when she died. She knew Jesus had died on the cross for our sins as I went through the Gospel, but listened to it all. I asked if she would want to be forgiven trusting in Jesus death on the cross to forgive her. She said, “I pray to Him and I know He sees my heart.” I said, “Our are hearts are not right all the time.” I asked if when she asked for forgiveness if she just thought God was magnanimous and would forgive her sins or if she was thinking she knew she’d be forgiven because Jesus had died for her.  “I never thought about it that way before,” she said. So I said if she wanted to be forgiven trusting in Jesus there was a prayer she could pray and then she’d know she was forgiven trusting in Him. Thinking on that she prayed then to receive forgiveness in Jesus. Then her professor showed up and opened the door to the classroom and everyone piled in. I showed her the line about living by the Spirit’s power and wrote, “Forgiven!” on the outside of the booklet. She stood with me shook my hand saying, “Thanks.” Thank you for talking with me,” I replied. I said I’d pray for her and also gave her Bible Promises for You. “I needed to talk to you today,” she said as she walked away. “Yes,” I replied “Thanks very much.” “Thank you,” she said again and walked into her classroom.

So thanks for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism today if you had a chance. God truly blessed as He is so faithful to do.

In Him,

Bob

Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Kiara  prayed to receive Jesus today and Joaquin who I talked to a while back said talking through the Gospel had turned his life back to his roots and he’d decided to pray to receive Jesus as well and thanked me. Rose approached me saying that my talking to her had made a dramatic difference in her life and thanked me several times. I know something clicked for her and she has trusted in Jesus and not her works as before. So I had a good day though most people I talked to I had talked to before. Thanks for your prayers today if you had a chance. Please pray these might grow in their faith. Their stories are below if you’ve time.

Kiara (rhymes with tiara) was sitting down as her class was cancelled and did not have much time to talk as she’d already called for a ride. She was wearing a blue hoodie, with braid extensions poking out on either side of her face. She wore blue sweats with a white six inch slash half way across each leg that looked like they might be reflective. She was pretty solid looking and had dark complexion, a squared off chin and European nose. You could say kind of an African American image of Sandra Bullock in facial characteristics. .She wore no makeup. When I asked her what she would say to God to be let into Heaven she said, “What would I say… I guess I’d say…” In then end she just didn’t know she said it had been a long time ago that she had regularly gone to church with her grandma but she thought she’d have “a high chance” of going to Heaven, I guessed, “80%?” “85% she replied.” When I asked her what Jesus had done to take away the sins of the world she remembered, “He sacrificed Himself.” I went through the Gospel but her ride came so I quickly read the verses to finish about salvation by faith and receiving Jesus and I quickly read through the prayer and said, “So you could pray that some time to be forgiven, or did you pray it just now?” She said she had so I quickly gave her a copy of Bible Promises for You and wrote her name in the front and “forgiven and you could see the gratitude on her face. “Hopefully I’ll see you around,” she said and she ran out the doors.

Joaquin was sitting on the bridge over the SSC lounge on the third floor. He wore a black hoodie zipped up under a black jacket. He had straight brown hair parted in the middle and down past his chin. Kind of short. He looked a lot like the Jewish hypochondriac comedian Richard Lewis, in the face. So it was my day for meeting celebrity doppelgangers. I asked him if he wanted to do a student survey. “Actually I’ve done that with you before a while back.” “Oh sorry man what’s your name?” I asked. He said it was Joaquin and then asked me mine. I remembered the spelling and him a bit then. “Thanks for talking with me that really helped,” he went on. “I’m getting back into the root of my faith.” Did you pray that prayer in the booklet? I asked.  “I actually did, I usually don’t do things like that but I did.” He replied. I asked if I had given him a book besides the booklet and I hadn’t so I gave him Bible Promises for You and I wrote “forgiven!” in the front and he said, “Oh thanks,” for the note I think. So I said I would add him to my prayers and said merry Christmas and we said goodbye.

Rose had passed me in the hall walking with a guy earlier in the day. She looks Native American, with long brown hair and a slightly wider nose at the bridge then straight, pretty. I thought before they could cast her as Pocahontas in a movie. She then ran up to me later as I turned a corner and began thanking me for talking with her and saying it had made such a big difference and she was really so grateful. I said that was great. She has a really soft spoken sweet disposition and was a lot more energized than when we’d talked before. Then, when I left her she said she thought it was great that I was walking around talking to people. I’d already given her a book. I said I’d been praying for her. I had thought she’d come to believe on Christ when we talked, though I could tell she hadn’t really understood the Gospel before. She had a said in answer to asking why He should let her into Heaven, “I’m not sure what to say… I’ve given my life to you and I’ve had a positive impact.” So I’m grateful that now after thinking about being saved by the blood and righteousness of Christ it has brought a change in her heart. She confessed Christ as I left her the first time saying she believed the first time we talked. “Thank you that really clarified things,” she said then so I think it had done more, it had brought her to faith. So I will continue to pray she grows in the knowledge of God.

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 walking with Jesus. I had a filling fall out of a back tooth and did not know for sure if I would get to campus as I ran out the door to the Dentist. But I got there eventually and Kenny and Omar each prayed with me to receive Jesus as their savior. Please pray that they might grow in their new commitment to Christ by His blood and righteousness. Their details are below if you want to take the time.

Kenny was sitting at a table in the largest common area on campus the Student services lounge. Her back was against the railings to the large staircase to the ground floor. When I’d first walked in she was on the phone. I went down stairs to talk to a guy and came back up and she was done talking and eating lunch. African American, she had a perfect oval face, roundish glasses, cute kid. Dressed all in black, with a long sleeve shirt and a ball cap she looked athletic. Her black leggings had the word “Pink” written in some kind of bling 3 times running down her leg on my side of her. I sat beside her when she said she’d do a survey. I asked her what she would say to God if she died and he asked, “Why should I let you into Heaven.”  She said, “Umm, Umm I don’t know… What would I say?” Then thinking a bit more she landed on, “’Cause I love you and I tried my best.” She thought she had a 50/50 chance of going to Heaven. She said she went to a Baptist church. I said that God would have to take away her sins, purify her so he could live inside her and asked her what Jesus had done to take away the sins of the world. “He died on the cross,” she replied. “Right,” I went on and I began to talk about the blood of Jesus cleansing her from sin and righteousness of Christ to her credit. As I had begun talking she returned to eating and finished one thing and then peeled  open a container of mac and cheese. She wasn’t looking at me at all but just at her food, so I just kept talking through the gospel and she even texted to something on her phone as I talked. But she nodded in affirmation to the points I made a couple times and was listening. When I got to the end I asked if she would want to be forgiven for her sins trusting in Jesus or thought something else. “Forgiven,” she replied now looking at me having finished her food. I said if she wanted to be forgiven there was a prayer she could pray and talked her through it and asked if it was the desire of her heart. She nodded and I said if she wanted to she could pray it silently. She nodded more and took the booklet and prayed to receive Jesus. I explained living inside out by the Spirit’s power and told her I would be praying for her through a year from spring. I said that now trusting in the righteousness of Jesus to be her righteousness the likelihood she would go to Heaven was 100%. She wouldn’t take a book or a Bible Study and had her own Bible. So I wrote the date and “forgiven!” on the booklet saying she could remember and she took it and seemed grateful. So I said Merry Christmas and we both headed out.

I got hung up talking to a Presbyterian guy I see sometimes. Then a woman who also stands at their table joined them who I’d also met. Finally some Mormon missionaries walked up when she offered them some literature so I slipped away. I headed over to the science and health buildings where I’d been prompted to go and the timing was right to find Omar sitting in the hall. He had green scrubs on and a washed out red (near pink) pull over windbreaker. His hair was cut conservatively a bit curly on top, short at the sides. He had old school style, gold metal half circle rimmed glasses with black across the top. He wore a gold earring in each ear and had a mustache that was short/flat, the thickness of a popsicle-stick over the top of a broad smile. He seemed to be listening to the world cup on his phone. In coloring looked he Latino and went to St. Mark’s a Catholic Church nearby.  He said he’d do a survey and let the game play on. I asked him what he would say to God to get into Heaven.  He said, “I follow God so I hope all the good I’ve done is for something, I listen to Him lead me to the path.” He thought he’d have a 50/50 chance of going to Heaven. I began to go through the Gospel with him and asked him what Jesus had done to take away the sins of the world. “He sacrificed himself,” he replied. I think it was right about then he turned off his phone as I began to explain the blood of Christ, purifying him and as a payment for his sins and the righteousness of God to His credit. I finished talking about salvation by faith and asked, “So would you want to be forgiven for your sins trusting in what Christ has done or do you think something else?” He didn’t say anything he just looked at the respective circles and with a long straight finder touched the circle with Christ inside. I said if he wanted to be forgiven there was a prayer he could pray and walked him through it and asked if he’d want to he could pray it silently and that I wouldn’t hear him but God would hear. He nodded and took the booklet saying, “I’m gonna get this?” meaning get to keep the booklet I had been writing verses in. “Yeah,” I replied and he began to pray. When he finished praying I explained living inside out and by the Spirit’s power. I said something like, “You go to church and they tell you something you can do. You can ask God to make you that kind of man on the inside and if you forget it by Wednesday (he nodded when I said that like it had been his experience) it doesn’t matter, God is already at work on Sunday.” He thanked me. I explained the mass being symbolic of what I’d said and mentioned the wafer and he finished with the wine and I said when he took it he could just say, “Thank you.” I gave him Bible Promises for You and wrote his name and the date and forgiven on the inside. I gave him The Case for Christianity Answer Booklet and explained it a bit. Finally I gave him a Bible study, going through one point quickly and said I would pray one of the lines or verses from the Bible for him each day from now until Spring and one year after. “Thank you,” he said again sincerely. I said he was welcome shaking his hand. “I’ll see you in Heaven. “Yeah see ya,” he said smiling. And I headed out with a “Merry Christmas”.

So thanks for your prayers for the ministry of Evangelism on Campus. God truly blessed today.

In Him,

Bob

Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

I hope your day was blessed and you were blessed with all good things from above. I had a good day on campus and Riley and Juan each prayed with me to receive Jesus today. Thanks so much for your prayers. Their stories are below if you have se time and interest.

When I first got to school I was praying about where to go and had the thought that I hadn’t gone to the third floor of the BIC much this semester. So I headed up there where I found both guys, the only people I found to talk with today.

Riley was sitting ten steps from the window that looks to the West towards the half circle loop to pick up people near the Cafeteria. He was dressed pretty crisply for a college student, had a square chin and red neatly trimmed hair and metal rectangular glasses, wasn’t that tall.  Wore a jacket and pants. He wanted to make sure I wasn’t a Mormon before we talked saying they’d approached him a couple times trying to get his phone number. I explained that was why I didn’t take any numbers or Email from people so they would not thing there were strings attached. I also explained the historical impossibilities of the Book of Mormon that had horses, chariots, steel sword and metallurgy for coins, along with barley and hops for beer in it in North and Central America. Unfortunately for Mormons all these things came a thousand years after the Book of Mormon said they did with the Conquistadores, so their book is a lie. He wanted to have a family and was studying at the Homeland Security building to become a Conservation Warden. This is a new set of officers that seems to be set up to take police powers away from Park Rangers. There are at this point only going to be 250 per state. They seem to have Federal Powers that extend even beyond the National Forests used as an excuse for their existence. It sounded suspiciously like another Federal Police force. He claims they’d have powers state wide. I asked him what he would say to God as a reason he’d enter into Heaven. He said, “For all the things that I’ve done. And probably trying to be the best person I can be for others.” I asked him how likely it was he would go to Heaven and he said at first 50% but then said, “I’ll really just keep doing what I’m doing. It’s not up to me. I think I’m doing alright, it’s just what it is.” He took the Gospel I told him seriously and knew Jesus had died to take away the sins of the World. I explained Jesus cleansing blood and how God got paid. When I asked him if he would want to be forgiven trusting in what Jesus had done he said he would had said that he prayed the Rosary and asked for forgiveness. So I asked, “When you are praying and asking for forgiveness are you thinking, ‘I know I will be forgiven because Jesus died for me’ or are thinking you’d be forgiven for the rigors of the religious efforts you are doing and God would see that and forgive you?” “Yeah, it’s really the second one,” he confessed. So I said that we should do things because we are changed by the Spirit and explained living “Inside Out by the Spirit’s Power.” I said that if he wanted to be forgiven trusting in what Jesus had done to save him there was a prayer he could pray and I explained it. He decided he needed to pray that to God trusting in God to make him the person He wanted him to be. He crossed himself than and prayed to receive Christ and crossed himself again as he finished. I had explained that the Mass was symbolic of the work of Christ and when in taking it, it was saying that was how his sins were forgiven and he should just say, “thank you” and he agreed with that. We talked more about the state of the world and he said “I feel old.” By that he meant older than his peers whom he saw slipping into the “Woke” narrative. He talked about the pope and the efforts this pope supported to merge Christianity and Islam. I said other Churches with big congregations supported that as well and mentioned Rick Warren. We shared values and he said, “Thank you for walking around and doing this, spreading the Word.”   I gave him The Case for Christ Answer Booklet and I wrote his name and the date and forgiven in the front of Bible Promises for You. We talked for a while more and I told him I would keep in him my prayers until a year from spring. He was grateful and I headed out. I may see him around as he is on the 3 plus one program. In it you finish all your classes on COD property but get credit from another local 4 year school, National Lewis.

Juan was just a bit down the hall. Normally after I talk to a guy I make sure I’m out of sight before talking to someone else. But Riley had been affirming I stepped into the stairwell to chew down my daily dose of aspirin and popped out to ask Juan to do a survey. I’d seen him a bit down the hall seated alone. Riley did walk by as we went through the Gospel. I didn’t notice his approach and until I saw his back and his unmistakable red head pass me as I sat in chairs to Juan’s left. Juan had a roundish head and a medium size pug nose. He wore metal-framed glasses and a stripped watchman’s cap, looked a touch Asiatic somehow.  He had on Hawks Chicago red-letter black sweats and an army-green pullover sweatshirt. He was a warm person and also wanted to have a family as a life goal. When I asked him what he would say to God he said, I want to be given the opportunity to help others. He only thought he had a 40% chance of going to Heaven. I asked if he went to church at all like when he was a kid. He had but had gotten out of the habit saying, “I should go to church,” and confessed, “I don’t have anything to do on Sunday, I just don’t [go].” He listened to the Gospel clearly. When I asked what Jesus had done to take away the sins of the world he said, “He forgives you?” I said he does forgive us. This is how it works, God gets paid.” I went on to explain that the blood of Jesus cleanses us and was an infinitely valuable payment for our sins. I explained how the righteousness of God was to his credit earned by Jesus. He was our robe of righteousness (Isaiah 61:10, Galatians 3:27). “So it’s like you got some place to go, Heaven, and something to wear when you get there, the righteousness of God.” “Right,” he said in agreement. He listened to the last of salvation by faith and I asked if he’d want to be forgiven trusting in Jesus. “Yes,” he replied so I said there was a prayer he could pray and offered it to him. I explained it and he said, “I’m sorry I keep looking at my watch I have a class, [but] I can do it I can definitely do it.” Then crossing himself and then his lips he prayed to receive Jesus and did so in ending. I explained the symbolism of the mass and quickly gave him a Bible study and a Bible. I wrote his name and the date and “forgiven!” in the front. I gave him Bible Promises for You and The Case for Christ Answer Booklet. I told him I would pray for him until a year from spring. He thanked me sincerely 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 with a little bit of warmth and sunshine and good things coming down from above. I had a good day on campus and Alex and Jessica each prayed to receive Jesus. Please pray they are blessed and grow in faith. Thanks for your prayers. Their stories are below if you have some time and interest.

Alex was sitting on the ground floor of the Student Services Center lounge. I’d had a nudge to go look along the wall there where there are couch-like chairs. I went up the stairs and found him there. He was on the first chair past Starbucks. Only the carpet was beside him so I sat on the floor and did a survey. He had a winter vest on and a plaid shirt and jeans. Small guy but classic looks with his dark hair swept straight back piled on his head. He had a cheek birthmark some people have in just the right spot. It turned out his mother who had found a 7th Day Adventist church she liked and he went with her to it.  I said they were right to suggest the Bible nowhere teaches to change the Sabbath Day from Sunday to Saturday. But I said that in Hebrews 4 Jesus is our “Rest”. Sabbath being another name for Rest, we are resting in Jesus. The Bible also teaches that we are the Temple of the Holy Spirit who lives in believers. So if God lives in you then everyday you go to the Temple. God that lives in you with the “life giving Spirit” of Jesus. So every day you are resting in Him at the Temple so effectively everyday is the Sabbath. So the really the Sabbath is amplified in Christianity to every day because we have entered God’s rest. I said that people who think they keep the Sabbath are wrong anyway. The most basic Sabbath law is to not kindle a fire. But in an internal combustion engine the gas is compressed in the cylinder and when you first turn the key you spark it and there is an explosion. So in doing so you kindled a fire. You just used a more complex tool to do so than a flint stone and some sticks. The car runs on fire. So, everyone broke the Sabbath if they drove to Church. He liked the story. I asked him what he would say to God if he was killed by a bus and stood before Him to get into Heaven. “”That’s a good question,” he replied and repeated it thinking. “I’ve been trying my best to work hard to spread the word to people.” He replied, then qualified it by effectively saying that was the best answer he could think of. He thought he had a 75% chance of going to Heaven. I began to go through the Gospel with him. I said God would need to take away his sin, make him His type—purified, so He could live inside him. That made sense to him. I asked him what the big thing was that Jesus had done to take away the sins of the world. “He was crucified,” he replied. “Right,” I said. I went through how the blood of Jesus cleansed us, Jesus life being worth an infinite amount paid God for the imperfect things we had done that we owed God something perfect for. As I finished saying he needed to trust in what Christ had done by faith I asked if he would want to be forgiven for his sins or thought something else. “I would want a life filled with Christ,” he said. So I said, “I know you knew the story.” So when you asked to be forgiven were you thinking you’d be forgiven based on what Jesus had done? So was it something you knew and just rolled with it at Church? So when you asked to be forgiven it wasn’t really a part of your thinking?” He replied saying, “That’s where I’m at.” He continued saying how he hadn’t  applied it to himself. “If you’d like to be forgiven you just tell that to God, there’s a prayer you can pray,” and I talked him through it asking if it was, “the desire of your heart?” “Yeah,” he replied. So I said he could pray it right now, I wouldn’t hear you but God would hear and you’d know you were forgiven, wanna do that?” He took the booklet and said, “Thank you, thank you.” And prayed to receive Christ. When he finished I said, “”Great, your sins are forgiven.” I told him then the likelihood he would go to heaven was now 100% trusting in the righteousness of Jesus to be his righteousness. I gave him a Bible Study on the Deity of Christ and Bible Promises for You writing his name and the date and forgiven on the inside saying he could always remember. I and gave him The Case for Christ Answer Booklet and then sensed he had to go. So I said I would pray for him every day until spring and one year after. “Nice to meet you,” I said shaking his hand. “Nice to meet you too,” he replied with a big smile. “I’ll see ya in Heaven,” I said “Yeah I’ll see ya,” he said and headed off.

I felt like I should go over to the Mac Arts building later on in the day so I headed through the tunnel. I came across Jessica sitting at a counter height table overlooking the lounge below where they had just put lights on the tree, she and one other girl the only ones in there otherwise it was empty. She was a pretty girl, oval face and roundish light frame glasses. She had long brown hair and red sweats with a print shirt on under the hoodie. She wanted to visit what she called “her country” of El Salvador, though her family had been up here for over 30 years. I asked her what she would say to God to get into Heaven and she said, “Wow that’s hard…” She said she really didn’t know and I asked her if she went to church and she said she did. “What would they say at church is what gets you into Heaven?” I asked. “Having a relationship with God, not just Church or whatever,” she replied. I asked if she had a relationship with God and she said she did so I said, “Would you say that to God then? ‘I have a relationship with you.’” She thought she would so I wrote that down. I asked her the likelihood she would get into Heaven and she said, “50% I still have to work on a lot of stuff.” I went through the Gospel with her saying God had to take away her sins to live inside her and had to purify her asking what Jesus had done to take away the sins of the World. “I really have no idea,” she replied after a moment of thought. I began to tell her how Jesus had died for her and his blood cleansed her from all sin and then explained how God was just and Jesus infinitely valuable life paid God back. “So the real reason God forgives you is He got paid,” I said. “Wow,” she replied. She gave short statements of surprise in places s I told her the gospel. I asked her in the end if she would want to be forgiven or thought something else and she finally said she would want a life with Christ in it. So I said if she wanted to be forgiven there was a prayer she could pray and I walked her through it asking if she’d want to pray it and she said, “I just did as you were going through it.” “Ok, Amen?” I replied. “Amen,” she said. I gave her a copy of Bible Promises for You, writing her name and the date and “forgiven!” on the inside. I gave her the Strobel booklet too and a Bible study explaining a bit. I said I would be praying for her and the likelihood now she would go to Heaven trusting in the righteousness of Jesus was 100%. “So in God’s eyes you get and A. And I told her that Ephesians 1:13 said that as soon as she believed the Spirit entered her and sealed her so God would always be with her. Life is full of streets and God always wants to hold your hand. She liked that idea. We said goodbye and I headed out.

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

In Him,

Bob

Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

I hope your day was blessed and you had your heart at rest in Him. I had a good day on campus and Znyia and Gianluca [john luke a] prayed to receive Jesus. So that was great. I’d be grateful if you might pray they would be blessed in their new commitment to Christ as their Savior and God by faith. Their stories are below if you have some time.

Znyia was sitting at a table. There is a hallway on the edge of the Student Services Center lounge on the second floor where I came upon her. The table was across the hall from where there are commonly lines of tables for college recruiters on some days, campus groups on others. She sat at the end of the table looking at her phone. She was cute, oval faced wearing a parka, the hood of which covered the back of her head.  She’s a black girl, petite, had a pug nose and her hair was pulled straight back but seemed untreated. She was pretty reserved and when I asked her if she wanted to do a student survey she said, “I did that already.” I replied, “This is a little different,” I said and animated a bit. “The big question is: You’re 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?’ What would you say?” She wasn’t sure what she’d say. So I said, “Would you like to know what the Bible says is the answer to that question and listen to some verses?” She said she would so I went to my knees at the side of the table she sat at the head of and began to go through the Gospel with her. I explained God wanted to live inside her but to do so He would have to take away her sin. I asked her, “So what is the big thing that Jesus does to take away the sins of the world?” “He was a sacrifice,” she replied. “Right I said and began to explain how it all worked. I got her to smile a few times but she seemed a bit road weary or just reserved. I asked her if she would want to be forgiven for her sins trusting in what Jesus had done or thought something else. “I would want to be forgiven,” she said softly. She had said she had gone to church when she was much younger. I said then that there was a prayer she could pray and talked her through it saying after, “It says here: Is this prayer the desire of your heart?  So would you say that it is?” “Yeah,’ she replied with a bit of a nod. So I said “If you wanted to you could pray it silently right now. I wouldn’t hear you but God would hear. And you would know you were forgiven and going to Heaven. Would you want to do that?” “Yeah” she said softly again. And then I think she said smiling, “I’ve seen the prayer before, I’ve never prayed it though.” Or else she said she’d never prayed before, she spoke too softy to make it out but the smile was clear. Then taking the booklet, “I just read it?” “Yes,” I said. And she prayed to receive Jesus. I gave her Bible Promises for You and wrote her name and the date and forgiven in the front. I gave her a Bible study too. She wasn’t sure about taking The Case for Christ Answer Booklet but I said it was ok if she never got to it and she said ok. I told her,  “The Bible says in Ephesians 1:13 as soon as you believe, the Holy Spirit enters you and seals you. So He will never leave you.” Then I showed her the question on the survey, “How likely is it that you are going to Heaven when you die?” Saying, “The answer to this is 100% because trusting in the righteousness of Jesus to be your righteousness, in God’s eyes you get an A.” I told her I would pray for her each day one of the prayers of Paul, “Like that your heart would be encouraged and knit together in love {with others] or that you will be pure then peaceable gentle and reasonable full of mercy and good fruit. [which is James]” “I appreciate that,” she said warmly. I explained the Christian life to her living inside out by the Spirit’s power. I said, “I will see you in Heaven and I’m really old so I will get there first. And when you are dying if you are scared to go to Heaven you can think, ‘I’m going to see that old biker Bob and he will show me around Heaven.’” “She smiled and said, “Thank you Bob.” “No problem,” I said with a grin. “Thanks for talking with me.” No problem,” she replied smiling, “Have a great day.” I thanked her and headed out.

I found Gianluca sitting in the cafeteria alone at a table. He was 5 foot 5 and had a mop of curly hair and young sharp features, good looking kid. He said his name was Italian but people pronounced it different ways. He’d been to Italy once. It turned out his father went to a church I knew of and he’d meet some biker guys I knew that used to go there. I asked him what he would say to God to get into Heaven if he died. He said, “I haven’t done anything warranting not sending me into Heaven.” When I asked him the likelihood he would get into Heaven, he thought he’d have a 50/50 chance saying, “I just began reading the Bible. In Heaven I’d probably have a better understanding.” He said he was going through the Bible Chronologically because he really liked History. After the first 15 chapters of Genesis he was now in Job. I began to go through the Gospel with him and he knew Jesus had died to take away his sins. He was engaged and attentive to what I explained telling him of the Blood of Christ cleansing him. I explained Christ’s infinitely valuable life being a payment for all the imperfect things we had done to damage God’s possessions, for which he was now owed a restorative payment of something perfect. As I finished I asked if he would like to be forgiven for his sins trusting I what Jesus had done or if he thought something else. “Be forgiven,” he replied. I said if he wanted to be forgiven there was a prayer he could pray and talked him through it then asked if it was the desire of his heart. “Yeah,” he replied and I said he could pray it silently and only God would hear. “Wanna do it?” “Yeah,” he said again and he prayed to receive Jesus. I explained living the Christian life by the Spirit’s power saying when he’d hear a sermon they would probably tell him something he should be or do. It might be something he thought was good but likelihood is he’d forget it by Wednesday. That didn’t mean it had no affect on him or he did not know something new that would change him. But if he wanted to in that moment he could ask God to change him in that way. Then if he forgot by Wednesday it wouldn’t matter because God by the Holy Spirit would have already began to work on him on Sunday. He thought that was a great idea. I told him now trusting in the righteousness of Jesus to be his righteousness the likelihood he would go to Heaven was 100%. I said I would be praying for him one of the prayers of Paul or lines from the Bible each night. I gave him Bible Promises for You writing his name and the date and “forgiven!” in the front. I gave him a Bible study on the deity of Christ, showing him a passage in Job where God walked on the water as Christ did. I then gave him the longer book The Case for Christianity Answer Book, saying because he liked history there was some chapters in it he might like. He was hesitant to take it but I told him I bought them used from Thrift Books so they were not that expensive. We talked some more and he thanked me and I said I would see him in Heaven or around 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

Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I hope ya had a great day and the Son shined on your heart and the snow melted on your grass like it did on ours most places. Freddy and Emily prayed to receive Jesus today. And yesterday Mayra prayed to receive Jesus. Thanks for your prayers. I’m grateful for the help. Their stories are below if you have time, please pray they are blessed.

Mayra (pronounced my-rah) was sitting in the BIC in the hall on the ground floor right before the tunnel into the MAC arts building. She had a heavy green-hooded sweatshirt on and leggings. A parka was tossed on nearby chairs. Her long hair was tinted, about 8 inches of the ends anyway. She had a warm attractive smile, not petite, looked pretty solid, and was Latina in appearance. I asked her what she would say to God to get into Heaven and she said, “Umm, I don’t know, why should He let me into Heaven? I don’t know I feel like I deserve a second chance, I deserve a chance.” She thought she had a 50/50 chance of getting into Heaven. I asked if she went to Church or anything. She said her mom was a Jehovah’s Witness and still went to Church but she had stopped going. She said she believed there was a God you could know. I said that there were differences between the JW’s and Christianity but the difference concerning Heaven was that they believed only the 144,000 mentioned in the Book of Revelation go to Heaven and that these also do not really go but a copy of them is made and they are in Heaven. (Like a clone.) But there were no Bible Scholars that believed that passage meant that.  She wasn’t aware of that teaching but it did not sound good to her. She said she did not want to choose the wrong religion. ( I think she meant within Christian nomenclature, as many cults claim to be Christian.) I began going through the Gospel with her showing her what the Bible said about forgiveness provided by the work of Christ. She tuned in and was interested. After telling her the blood and righteousness of Jesus saved her by faith I asked if she wanted to be forgiven trusting in Jesus. “I would want to be forgiven for my sins,” she replied. So to be certain I asked, “Do you believe Jesus is God died for your sins and rose from the dead?” “Yes,” she said. So I said if she wanted to be forgiven there was a prayer she could pray, saying “God’s like a pretty girl He likes to be asked, you know how that is.” And she laughed. I talked her through the prayer asking if it was “…the desire of your heart?” “Umhmm,” She replied and I said she could pray it silently I wouldn’t hear but God would. I handed her the booklet when she nodded and she prayed to receive Jesus. I explained the Christian life to her then living by the Spirit’s power. I gave her Bible Promises for You writing her name and the date and “forgiven!” on the inside. I gave her a Bible Study and The Case for Christ Answer Booklet . I told her the likelihood she would now go to Heaven was 100% trusting in the righteousness of Jesus to be her righteousness. I told her I would pray for her each day, one of the lines of the prayers of Paul until a year from spring. She stood up reaching out to shake my hand as I got up to go, “It was nice to meet you,” she said. ‘It was nice to meet you too,” I replied. “Thank you!” she called out as I got three steps away. I said, ”Sure,” and headed off.

Today I found Freddy in the cafeteria sitting at a table polishing off some lunch out of a container from home. He had a part in his hair slightly to the right and it swept up on both sides. He had a square chin and a full nose, warm smile and looked like he was Latino. He wore a light grey/blue hooded shirt and jeans white tennis shoes. I asked him what he would say to God to get into Heaven if he died and stood before Him. “I would say I’m your child and I’m saved,” he replied. But then when I asked him the likelihood he would get into Heaven he replied, “I would say less than 50%. I believe that because there’s ways to get the seal of God and I don’t believe I’ve done… to the full extent of those things.” I asked him if he went to Church at all or what his faith was like. He said it was just with “myself, reading and praying, one on one with God, myself.” I began to explain the Gospel to him and suggested he had said there was things he had to do, kind of like he would earn a place with God, be sealed. He agreed that was where he’d been at. So I stressed that the Bible was about what God had done to forgive him, cleanse him of sin, so God could live inside him. Then the Holy Spirit entered him and sealed him. There was nothing he could do to earn that because he would have to do perfect things and he wasn’t perfect. But Jesus was the payment for his sins. He accepted all the verses I had read to him and understood then that Jesus had done to be the payment for his sins. I asked if he would want to be forgiven for his sins or believed something else. ”Be forgiven” he replied. So I said if he wanted to be forgiven there was a prayer he could pray and I talked him through it and suggested he could pray it silently. “I wouldn’t hear you but God would hear and you’d know you were forgiven, would you want to do that?” “Yeah, why not,” he replied. Then taking the booklet he checked “Out loud?” No just silently it’s not my business.” “Perfect,” he replied. And he prayed then to receive Jesus. He finished and looked and me and said something like, “Alright.” I explained the Christian life to him then living “Inside out By the Spirit’s power”.  I said that now trusting in the righteousness of Jesus to be his righteousness the likelihood he would go to Heaven was 100%. I gave him a Bible Study and wrote his name and the date and “Forgiven!” on the inside of Bible Promises for You. I gave him a copy of The Case for Christ Answer Booklet. We talked a bit more and told him I would pray for him each day through next spring and then a year after. I got up to go and said, “I’ll see you in Heaven.” Great he said with a smile. Then added, “Thanks.” I nodded and headed off.

At the end of the day I came across Emily in the cafeteria sitting at the counter. She had long brown hair parted in the middle and looked like The Mona Lisa’s prettier, younger, sister, her face being a bit more narrow, and less forehead. She had a bright white smile and She wore a brown sweatshirt and black leggings, athletic looking. When I asked her what she would say to God she said, “Cause I’ve always believed in You.”  She thought the likelihood she would go to Heaven was 100%. She said she grew up Catholic “But now I would just say I am Christian there are things in Catholic Church that I would not say I believed.”  I asked her if she went to Church, ‘Holidays. I pray a lot. Before bed and in the shower is a good place, I turn off the music in the car.” She also said she’d just take some time to be silent for 10 minutes or so. I said, “Well the rest of this is what you think about Christianity so you’ll probably dig it. It’s mostly Bible verses. I asked her then what the big thing Jesus did to take away her sins and she said, “He forgives you?” I said that he did and the real reason was God gets paid. I explained then that she owed God a perfect life but no one was perfect so God became a perfect man who died. 1John 1:7 in the Bible said the blood of Christ cleanses us from all sin. “You know how the most you can give is your life.” I said that’s what happens on a metaphysical level on a practical level it’s like say you are going to a wedding and you have the perfect dress but you don’t have the shoes, but your best friend has these great off the chain shoes so you borrow them. Then when you are coming out of the reception it starts to pour rain and you wreck the shoes. You can’t just go to the Goodwill and get some red shoes you would have to buy brand new perfect shoes. So when you borrow someone’s stuff you have to return it to them perfect. Well God owns everything he owns you and me and the world. So If I hurt you or hurt myself, or the world in some way I would owe God something perfect back. But I can’t do anything perfect, so I’d be screwed. But God loves me. So He becomes a perfect man and when Jesus dies His blood is worth an infinite amount. So when he pours out His blood it pays God back for all the imperfect stuff we did that we owe God something perfect for, so the real reason God forgives you is He got paid.” “Oh!” she exclaimed, understanding the atonement for the first time. I went on to explain the righteousness of God, Christ earns, and give to us, we are “clothed in Jesus.” I said she had to receive this by faith believing Jesus was God he died for her sins and rose from the dead. By grace she was saved. I asked if she would want to be forgiven or thought something else. “I’ve sinned. I would want to be forgiven for my sins,” she replied. So I said if she wanted to be forgiven there was a prayer she could pray a prayer and I walked her through it asking if it was the desire of her heart. She nodded it was. So I said she could pray it silently and she said “Sure.” And she prayed to receive Jesus. I began to explain the Christian life to her. She only had a NT so I gave her a more compact complete Bible she wanted one to carry. I showed her the “Where to Turn” section and the maps and the section with Messianic Prophecies writing her name and the date and “forgiven!” in the front. I gave her Bible Promises for You.  She said she was talking a philosophy class and had talked to her teacher about faith and I explained some philosophical questions to her. She wanted to read more so I gave her The Case for Christianity Answer Book that has many answers to the questions of apologetics in it. We talked a bit more and told her also I would pray for him each day through next spring and then a year after. She asked why I had talked to her and I said some people seem more open but I felt like God had led me to her and she thought so too.  “Thanks so much, Thank you,” she said as I got up to go. I said, “Sure. I’ll see you in heaven.” She laughed, liking that and said, “See ya there.” I headed out and later gave her a Bible study and we may connect for another.

So Thanks for your prayers for the ministry and for Evangelism on campus, God truly blessed today.

In Him,

Bob

Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

I hope you had a good weekend and the arctic blasts covering the country somehow missed ya. There’s a sheet of ice over our birdbath so I turned that over today before a long hard freeze cracks it. I had a good day on campus last Thursday and Jaylen prayed to receive Jesus. Thanks for your prayers his story is below thanks for your prayers.

I found Jaylen in the lounge where a lot of people seem available to talk. He’s African American and has a mustache and a chin beard. I know from his friend his visible handicap (a limp) is from being injured after taking an HPV vaccine in junior high. (Strange as HPV itself has no symptoms in males.) He now has regular seizures each night and cannot drive himself in a car anywhere.  The lounge he was in is the Northeast corner of the BIC building you pass headed to the Cafeteria. He was wearing a light blue sweat suit and had the hood up. He’s a friend of a guy I talk to frequently, Dominic. They went to Junior High and High School together. Dominic had thought he’d lead Jaylen to trust in Christ in High School, his life did not change however over time. As I talked with him he thought he would go to Heaven by works. I had just sat down and started chatting him up because we’d met and he was just chillin’. He could not think of what he’d say to God to get into Heaven except that He was a good person. I asked if he’d want to hear the Bible verses that said how he could get into Heaven and he agreed to hear them. I asked what the big thing Jesus had done to take away his sins was. “He forgives you?” he said. I explained that was true but that the real reason God forgives you is He got paid and went on to explain the Gospel to him. About half way through he said, “I’ll be right back.” I said “Sure.” Then leaving his backpack he got up and headed around the corner. His ability to walk is somewhat altered and he is not very large. I just waited less than 5 minutes until he returned. I just continued with the story of Jesus when he got back, salvation by the cross and the righteousness of God. Giving him other options as well I asked if he would want to be forgiven for his sins trusting in Jesus. “I would want to be forgiven,” He said. So I walked him through the Prayer and asked if it was the desire of his heart. He said it was so I said he could pray it silently right now. “Wanna do it?”  He said ,”Yeah,” and prayed to receive Jesus. I explained living the Christian life “Inside Out, by the Spirit’s Power.” I gave him a Bible Promises for You book writing his name and the date and “forgiven!” in the front. I gave him a Bible study on the deity of Christ and The Case for Christ Answer Booklet and said I would be praying for him. ‘God Bless you brother,” I said shaking his hand that barely grasped mine back. “Appreciate it,” he said. And I headed out. Maybe he’ll do a Bible Study with Dominic and me in the future.

So thanks for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism last week if you had a chance. There was one day off on campus but 2 students trusted Christ.

In Him,

Bob
