Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

I hope your summer has begun with grace as you look forward to getting some plants in the ground or other projects done. I turned a saddle into a swing in the neighbor’s yard (my buddy David got me one from the farm) and it’s a big hit with the shorter humans on the street so far. Just looking around the little cape cod we’ve lived in since I began doing college ministry (while painting part-time in 2002) was kind of a load this morning. I saw a Facebook reel on stretching your sciatica on the floor. Looking up I was forced to see some cracks in the ceiling I know I need to repair. I fixed some over 20 years ago, they sadly came back. Things wear out. But hey I’ve got a summer to chip away at them. At school each year I go out each day to do evangelism and chip away at whatever God’s goal will be for the year. It’s kind of an overwhelming thought as the year begins, knowing how many people I will talk to mostly one at a time. I went through the Gospel with about 350 students this year. Though this was less than usual, 160 students prayed to receive Christ after I told them the Gospel, more than any previous year. I pray a verse for each every day and a for few others. I’m a little worn out to be frank, though I know God did all of it. Some students questions I could resolve for them. But most from my angle of observation simply heard the Gospel, wanted to be forgiven and believed they could be trusting in the person and work of Christ.

Pascal writes, “Do not wonder to see simple people believe without reasoning. God imparts to them love of Him and hatred of self. He inclines their heart to believe. Men will never believe with a saving and real faith, unless God inclines their heart; and they will believe as soon as He inclines it. And this is what David knew well, when he said: ‘Incline my heart, O Lord, unto thy testimonies.’” (Psalm 119:36)

So I quoted the Gospel verses to my captive audience and God brought these students to Himself. Sometimes I get a nudge to go to a certain place on campus. Or even to turn down a hall or go to a building. Sometimes when I get there, I meet a student who I have talked to before or has prayed with me and in talking to them I’m encouraged they are still walking with the Lord and that’s what God had for me there. Sometimes they pray to receive Christ. One of my favorite guys to talk to this past school year was Roy from Ghana and I was led right to him. He was upbeat and we hit it off right away. Here’s his story again if ya missed it during the year:

At the end of the afternoon I got a picture in my mind of the patio area at the top of the waterfall and started making my way there. No one wanted to talk on the way. Once on the patio I did bump into Sabine, (long braids, black girl, wide nose, cute, small girl) who I’d gone through the Gospel with but was not sure she believed, though she semi-regularly went to church. I chat her up when I see her. I thought that might have been the plan as she headed off, but then I saw the only other soul out there, Roy, sitting at a table. I got to talking with him and asked him if he’d want to do a survey. He had an easy laugh. He had one front tooth that was broken off by a 3^rd on one corner, which with large white teeth was kind of striking. He wore a baseball cap and an American Eagle Brand zip-up grey hoodie and jeans. He had a big cheerful smile and traditional black features, oval face. He was from Ghana and had a bit of an accent and also spoke French, saying they made them learn it as children. I said I’d wished I managed to do the same {long story there}. He laughed at some things I said which I don’t remember and it made him open to do the survey. He said he wanted to be a medical missionary. I asked what he would say to God if he died and were asked, “Why should I let you into Heaven?” “Why would you?” he said musing the question. “Hum..” He looked at me and said more pointedly, “How would I justify myself?” I let him keep thinking. “I don’t know. Nothing we have done. There’s nothing we can do to deserve it. Usually by mercy. It says in the Holy Book no one deserves it.” I agreed, quoting, “There is none righteous, no not one.” With a smile “We try to do good things,” he continued. “Do good deeds, read the Holy Word. I would just say, ‘Lord have mercy there’s nothing I have done to deserve it.’” I asked him what the likelihood he would go to Heaven was. “At this point in my life I think I’d just go to Hell,” he said and he laughed. “I need to reconcile with a lot of people and I have drifted away. So at this point I’d go to Hell.” So I said “Well the rest of this is what you think about Christianity. 4 quick points and you say what you think.” I started in and began to go through the Gospel and the love of God who wanted to know him, to live inside him, but the problem was sin. So God took away his sin. “What’s the big thing Jesus did to take away the sins of the world?” I asked. “He died on the Cross,” Roy replied. “Right” and I began to explain what that meant: That the blood cleansed him and paid what he owed for his sins. The righteousness of God was to his credit and God wanted to adopt him and give it all to him. He could receive Christ and be saved by faith. He was engaged all the way through and I got a laugh for some of the illustrations. All are amusing or somber depending on the tone I say them in. I keep in the spirit they seem to be received. “So would you want to be forgiven for your sins or do you think something else?” I asked. “I want to be forgiven,” he replied. “Well if you want to be forgiven there’s a prayer you can pray,” and I talked him through it. I asked if it was the desire of his heart. He nodded and I asked if he’d want to pray it silently and know he was forgiven. “Yes,” he said. He prayed then to receive Christ. When he finished he was happy and I told him the likelihood he would now go to Heaven, trusting in the blood and righteousness of Jesus, was 100%. He shook my hand firmly. I said I was old and had sinned more them him as a result, but the blood of Christ was of infinite value because He’s God and so too was His righteousness infinite because He (God) earned it. He had a Bible so I gave him Bible Promises for You and wrote his name and the date and “forgiven!” on the inside. I gave him a Bible study and he liked it. I also gave him The Case for Christianity Answer Book. (I had run out of the much shorter booklets so I thought it was God’s providence to give him that one.) He was grateful.  Roy reached out and shook my hand again firmly and thanked me earnestly, “Thank you for telling me this. You could be somewhere resting, but you came out to talk to me. Thank you.” I said, “You are the best conversation I’ve had all day. Thanks.” We had hit it off and laughed a lot. I got up to head out and I gave him my contact information if he wanted to do a Bible study to let me know. I went to the truck then feeling blessed.

I bumped into Roy towards the end of Spring. He was happy to see me and grateful.

Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

I hope your week was blessed with the favor of God in Christ. I had a good last week on campus for the semester. A girl, Olga received Jesus on Monday then for a couple days I was spending time with some lost students I know. Thursday Noah and Tony prayed with me to receive Christ. So I was grateful for God’s blessing to wind things up. Their stories are below if you have some time you wish to spend the time. Please pray they grow in faith. 160 Students prayed to receive Jesus after I told them the Gospel this school year, either in front of me or I found out later and about 7 others seemed close. Thanks for the blessing of your prayers this year if you had a chance.

Noah was sitting at a table by himself in the cafeteria. He was from Bloomington IL and had come up here to play football. He was returning home to attend community college near him, as the expense of living up here had not proved valuable enough. Sometimes it just takes a year for guys to give up on football so that might have been it. He was a white guy wearing a maroon T-shirt and grey old school sweats. He looked like a classic stereotype of a farm kid. He had a boyish looking oval face with real short hair and was a big dude. I asked him one thing he wanted to do before he died and he said “Skydiving”. I said as I often do there’s an airport nearby and a lot of kids say that and it’d be a fun way to meet your wife. I asked him what he would say to God if he died and He asked, “Why should I let you into Heaven?” “I don’t know, I’m a sinner just like everybody else,” he replied. He thought he had a 50/50 chance of going to Heaven. He’d gone with his family to a Methodist church. (I told him I had once been a Methodist Youth Pastor). His family moved and the church was too far away and they hadn’t liked their new one as well. I said when a smaller church is a place where you know everyone it’s hard to get that back if you leave it and he agreed. I began to go through the Gospel with him He knew Jesus had died to take away the sins of the world. He liked all the analogies responding periodically with a grin. God wants to know and live inside you, that’s eternal life, “like you’re the Energizer Bunny and God’s the batteries.”  “Christianity is like a blood transfusion.” And, “The real reason God forgives you is He got paid.” I explained he needed to receive Christ, “Not that you just know the story but that that’s what you put your trust in, so if someone would ask you ‘Why should God let you into Heaven?’ you’d say, ‘Because Jesus died for me’.” I said this was faith and faith saved him. I asked if he’d want to be forgiven trusting in what Jesus had done, then He would live inside him and give him strength (describing the circle on the right with Jesus on the throne of his life) and take him to Heaven when he died. Or did he think something else? I gave him the cliff notes version of Islam and the Buddha. “I’d be the guy on the right,” he replied. I said if he wanted to be forgiven there’s a prayer he could pray. I talked him through it and asked if it “expressed the desire of his heart”. “Yeah,” he replied. I said he could pray it silently and know he was forgiven and asked if he’d wanna do that? “Yeah,” he said and took the booklet and said, “Thank you.” He finished after a bit with an “Amen.” He handed me back the booklet saying, “Thank you,” again. I told him then the likelihood he would go to Heaven was now 100% trusting in the blood and righteousness of Jesus. I went through the Christian life with him. He had a Bible. I explained living “By the Spirit’s Power”. So first asking God to transform you and then as a transformed person doing good things by His power, “Inside out”. I gave him Bible Promises for You writing his name and the date and forgiven in the front. I gave him The Case for Christianity Answer Booklet and a Bible Study on ways Jesus claims to be God from the Old Testament.  “Awesome to meet you Bob,” he said shaking my hand. We talked about his future a bit given his geographic home in IL I asked if he liked farming. He said less than some guys he knew. We talked about the undependable nature of machines in an AI world for farming. I got up to go and told him I would pray a Bible verse for him each day asking God to bless him for the next year. “Awesome to meet you Bob,” he said again with another shake of my hand and a big smile. “Great to meet you too,” I said and headed off.

I came across Tony sitting at a table just on the side of the foyer of the first outside 2^nd floor doors to the BIC. It’s a little lounge with an elevator across from it right beyond the SSC Lounge they just reopened. He had swept back dark hair, shorter on the sides and looked Middle Eastern in coloring. He had on a black T-shirt and sat the entire time. He was average looking guy, clean-shaven. He was just looking at a black laptop. I asked him if he wanted to do a survey and he said, “OK.” His bucket list was too long to pick one thing but he thought of himself as a “resilient, passionate” guy. I asked what he would say to God if he was killed by a bus and He asked, “Why should I let you into Heaven?” “Oh, you shouldn’t let me in,” he replied. Then added, “Just being realistic here.” I asked him the likelihood he would go to Heaven when he died. “I would say 50/50. That’s fair.” I asked if he went to Church and he said he did saying, “I’m Coptic. I’m a Christian. I’m Egyptian.”  I began to go through the Gospel with him and he knew Jesus had been a sacrifice to take away the sins of the world. He took everything in attentively. The atoning blood of Jesus to cleanse him and as a payment to God. I explained the Righteousness of God Jesus earned (Isaiah 61:10 and Gal 3:27) and that he would not go to Heaven because he was good enough but because Jesus was good and he was connected to him. “Like if you marry a millionaire you got a million bucks or if you get adopted into a billionaire’s family you get to live in the mansion and drive the cars,” I explained. I said God wanted to adopt him and give him the blessings of His family. “He gives you the sacrifice for your sins the blood that cleanses you and the righteousness of God that surrounds you. So you got some place to go, Heaven, something to wear when you get there, the righteousness of God.” I said he needed to receive Jesus placing his trust in the Jesus was God had died for his sins and rose from the dead to be forgiven. I asked if he would want to be forgiven or thought something else. “Be forgiven,” he replied. I talked him through the prayer and asked if it expressed the desire of his heart. “Um Hmm,” he agreed it did. So I said he could pray it silently and know he was forgiven, “I wouldn’t hear you but God would hear and you’d know you were forgiven,” I said. “Wanna do it?” I asked. “Yeah,” he replied and he silently prayed to receive Jesus. I explained then that if he was now trusting in the righteousness of Jesus to be His righteousness and His blood to save him the likelihood he would go to Heaven was 100%. He had a Bible. I gave him Bible Promises for You and wrote his name and the date and “forgiven!” in the front. I also gave him The Case for Christ Answer Booklet and a Bible Study and explained it a bit. I told him I would pray a Bible verse for him every day for the next year. “Thank you for your time,” he said shaking my hand. “See you in Heaven,” I replied. “Hopefully,” he replied. “No I’m sure, I’ll see you there,” I replied. “Thank you for your time,” he said shaking my hand again with a big smile. And I headed off.

So thanks for your prayers for the ministry this school year and for evangelism last week if you had the time. God has truly blessed this year.

In Him,

Bob

Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I hope your day was blessed and you put your trust in your Lord and were established in success. Olga prayed with me to receive Jesus today. Her story is below if you have some time. Please pray she grows in her faith.

Olga was sitting under the stairs just east of the doors that are up and in front of the bookstore in a set of some tied together stuffed chairs there. She was Latina, her dark brown hair was randomly parted on the right and was in kind of a shag cut. She had firm angular features that might be considered traditional Native American from a Fredric Remington painting. Her skin was scarred like mine on her cheeks. She had on a black t-shirt with white lettering I couldn’t read and black leggings with a small hole in the right knee. She said she’d like to travel to Japan so I told her the story of how my friend there met his wife. I asked her what she would say to God if she died and He asked, “Why should I let you into Heaven?” “’Cause I want to see my family,” she replied. I asked her if she went to Church and she said she did so I asked her what she thought they would say as to how you get into Heaven. “I guess your character,” she replied. I asked her the likelihood was that she would get into Heaven. “I think I’ll go to Heaven,” she replied. I began to go through the Gospel with her to finish the survey and she crossed her arms to listen. Telling her that to live inside her and give her eternal life God had to take away her sin, I asked what Jesus had done to take away the sins of the world. “What did He do?” she asked. “Yeah, what did Jesus do?” I asked. “I don’t know,” she replied. “OK, well it will come back to ya,” I said. She uncrossed her arms then as I began to go through the Gospel. I said we owed God a perfect life, explaining the blood of Jesus cleansed her and that “In Him was life”. He was a payment for the life we had taken and owed God for. The real reason God forgave her was “He got Paid”. I explained the righteousness of God, we did not go to Heaven because we are good but because Jesus is good and we are connected to Him.  We inherit His righteousness when we are adopted. So God loves her, wants to know and live inside her but can’t because of sin. So Christ takes away her sin and the Bible says God demonstrates His love for us while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. I said we had to receive Christ by faith and said that if someone asked, “Why should God let you into Heaven you’d say, “Because Jesus died for me.” She smiled then as if someone had given her an answer she’d missed but should have known. This would mean she had faith in Jesus and by grace she was saved by faith. So I asked if she would want to be forgiven trusting in Jesus or thought something else. She said she’d want to be forgiven. So I said then there was a prayer she could pray and talked her through it asking if it was the desire of her heart. “Yes,” she replied. I said she could pray it silently. “I just did,” she replied with a smile. “OK, Amen.” I said and she nodded. I told her the likelihood she would now go to Heaven was 100% trusting in the blood and righteousness of Jesus. I said I would pray a Bible verse for her each day asking God to bless her for the next year. She did not have a Bible so I gave her one and wrote her name and the date and “forgiven!” in the front and showed her some of the study helps in it. I ribbon marked John’s Gospel. I gave her Bible Promises for You and The Case for Christ Answer Booklet. I also gave her a Bible study. “Thank you so much. I appreciate it,” she said as I got up to go. “Oh you’re welcome,” I replied. “Have a good day,” she said cheerfully. “OK, you too, thanks for talking to me,” I said and I headed off.

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

In Him,

Bob

Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

I hope ya had a good day walking with the Lord in His blessings. I had a good day on campus, 3 Latina girls, Gisela, Nataly and Sandra each prayed to receive Jesus today so that was great. God blessed me today. They were all bright cheerful young women. Their stories are below if you have some time. Please pray they grow in their faith.

Gisela was sitting at a counter height table at the end of the cafeteria. She is a had a cute short elflike face with a pretty smile and wore rhinestone dangling bling earrings and a necklace of the same look. She had shoulder-length brown hair and glasses with light brown rounded corner rectangle lenses, bright eyes.  She had a black T-shirt on with some kind of gold logo on it. She wanted to help her parents when they got old. I asked her what she would say to God if she died and He asked, “Why should I let you into Heaven?” “I don’t think I’m worthy of going to Heaven,” she replied. “I’m not worthy of going to Heaven either,” I replied softly. She thought she had a 60% chance of going to Heaven. She said she pretty much only went to church, “on the big holidays, when it is really crowded.” I began to go through verses with her. I quoted Jesus saying eternal life was knowing God and this meant God lived inside us with the Holy Spirit. In comparing it to a blood transfusion I said for God to transfuse His life into her he would have to make her His type by taking away her sins. I asked her what the big thing was that Jesus had done to take away our sins and she knew saying, “He died for us.” I agreed and explained how Jesus’ blood cleansed us from all sin and was a payment to God. I told her that Jesus had earned the righteousness of God by perfectly fulfilling the Old Testament Law and so He can give this righteousness to whomever He wants. I told her Isaiah 61:10 saying we were wrapped in a robe of God’s Righteousness and clothed with His salvation. The New Testament tells us this garment of salvation is Jesus in Galatians 3:27, we are clothed with Him. “You don’t go to Heaven because you are good enough but because Jesus is good and you are connected with Him. Like if you marry a millionaire you got a million bucks or if you get adopted into a billionaire’s family you get to live in the mansion and drive the cars.” God adopts us and gives us these things as the blessings of His family. Jesus died for our sins and rose from the dead and many saw Him. All this is ours by receiving Christ. Believing Jesus was God He died for our sins and rose from the dead. We are saved by Grace through faith. I asked her if she would want to be forgiven for her sins trusting in what Jesus had done, then He would live inside her and give her strength and take her to Heaven when she died, or if she thought something else. “I would want to be forgiven, “she replied. So I said if she wanted to be forgiven there was a prayer she could pray and I talked her through it and read, “It says here does this prayer express the desire of your heart, so would you say it does?” “Yes,” she said. I said that then if she wanted to she could pray it silently and I wouldn’t hear her but God would hear and she’d know she was forgiven and asked if she’d like to do that and she replied “Yes,” again. She took the booklet and prayed to receive Jesus. I explained to her then the likelihood now she would go to Heaven trusting in the blood and righteousness of Jesus was 100%. I offered her a Bible and she said she had just bought one. Several people I talked to this year had just recently bought a Bible; it seems like God leads me to them to get them started. I told her I would pray a Bible verse for her each day for the next year. I explained the Christian life living “By the Spirit’s Power, Inside Out. “First you ask God to transform you on the inside then you do good things on the outside,” I said to her. 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 explained it a bit and The Case for Christ Answer Booklet. I said it was nice to meet her and I’d see her in Heaven. Thank you so much I appreciate it,” she said joyfully. And I headed out.

It was a beautiful day. I walked out of the MAC arts building finding no one to talk to inside and saw some girls on a bench on the east sidewalk of the BIC building. I had asked a guy there on my way into the building who was not interested but he’d left. Nataly and Sandra were there instead. Nataly looked pretty average she had a slightly larger nose and a long oval face, nice smile, long dark brown hair. She was wearing black leggings and a grey hoodie. Sandra was pretty her hair was in two braids behind her head and a couple finger width strands ran the length of her face. She could have been Selena Gomez little sister. She wore bright blue sweats and a black shirt. When they stood as we parted I realized they were only 5 foot tall. I asked them if they would like to do a student survey for a Bible Study group. Nataly said they were in a Bible study group. I asked them the name of it and they were not sure but they were going to meet with someone this week. So I asked them if they’d like to hear a big question they could think about and they both said, “OK.” “You’re walking down the road,” I began, “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?” Sandra asked me to repeat the question and Nataly, still thinking said, “You’re dead.” I repeated it to Sandra. Neither of them knew what to say so I asked if they would like to hear some Bible verses that tell them how to get to Heaven. They both said, “Sure.” So I sat down Indian style at their feet and began to explain the Gospel starting with, “Christianity is like a blood transfusion, I have A+ blood, if you fill me with B- blood I would clot up and die. So God wants to transfuse his life into you, fill you with His Holy Spirit but first He has to make you his type and take away your sin.” I explained how Jesus’ blood had cleansed them from all sins and in random order of the points I make. I told them stories and illustrations to explain salvation by faith. I asked them if they would want to be forgiven by asking if they thought when they were asking for forgiveness for their sins if they were thinking “I know I’ll be forgiven because Jesus died for me or if they thought they hoped they would be forgiven because God saw that they were trying to be good and would do better. Sandra thought she hadn’t been trusting in Jesus and Nataly processed it a bit realizing she thought she would try harder. So then I took out some booklets and I explained that if they wanted to be forgiven there was a prayer they could pray and talked them through it. They both wanted to pray to receive Christ. So I opened a booklet for each of them to the prayer and they each prayed. I took the booklets back skimming over the points and filling in Bible verses on the righteousness of God Jesus earned and how God makes all things into Good. I explained living by the Spirit’s power and wrote that and “Inside out” and “Just ask” inside the booklets. I gave them each Bible Promises for You writing their name and the date and “forgiven!” in each which they liked. I gave them a Bible study retelling the story of Jesus walking on the water for them and gave them The Case for Christ Answer Booklet. I told them I would pray a Bible verse for them each day for the next year. I said that if they did not like their Bible study they could always leave it, because I was a bit afraid they were hooked up with the works righteousness cult on campus. I said they’d know if it wasn’t any good, so I’ll pry about that for them. They’d known me for 10 minutes and I did not know the name of the group.  They were both happy. Sandra said, “Thank you,” and Nataly who seemed to know a bit of the Gospel as I went through said, “Thank you. You’re amazing!” “Thank you that’s kind of you to say, “I replied. And they headed off to the north and to the parking lot. It seemed they had just decided to sit for a minute and take in the outside and God led me to them.

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

In Him,

Bob

Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

I hope ya had a good day walking with God as He’s guided you. I had a good day on campus after the road trip we took Thursday through the weekend to attend the wedding of a young woman who had come to Christ through evangelism work at COD 7 years ago. She married a great Christian guy. I’m feeling a little worn from all the driving but Yanni and Katie each prayed with me to receive Jesus today. Their stories are below if you have some time to spend. Please pray they grow in their faith.

Yanni, a Latino guy, was sitting in some benches just inside the doors to the patio at the top of the waterfall. He had a long rectangular face with a block chin and thick nearly straight hair parted down the middle. He wore black sweats and a grey zip up hoodie. He shook my hand as I sat down. He was very reserved but shot me a grin periodically in response to an illustration. I asked him what he would say to God if he died and were asked, “Why should I let you into Heaven. “I don’t want to make excuses,” he began. “I’d ask for forgiveness. I wouldn’t say I was a bad person. I’d ask for forgiveness for wrongs that I’ve done and hope I’d be let in.” He thought he had a 60-70% chance of going to Heaven. He said he went to a Roman Catholic Church. I said that knowing God was that he lived inside you and explained that God had to take away his sins so that was possible. I asked what Jesus had done to take away his sins. “Yeah,” he replied. “What did he do?” I asked. And finally he said, “I know He forgives you I’m not sure how.” So I went on to explain that we owed God a perfect life and that since we could not live a perfect life to merit Heaven Jesus lived a perfect life for us. Then they killed Him, “But that’s what Jesus wants He wants to die because the Bible says without the shedding of blood there’s no forgiveness of sin. Life is in the blood. So when He pours out His blood He pours out a life force on the world and it says in 1John 1:9 ‘the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin.’” I explained that this was also a payment to God for what we owed Him for wrecking His world and hurting the people in it. Jesus earns the righteousness of God and it is given to us when God adopts us as His children. I said this was his by faith in that Jesus was God had died for his sins and rose from the dead. This faith saved him. I asked if he would want to be forgiven for his sins trusting in what Jesus had done. Then God could live inside him and give him strength and take him to Heaven when he died or did he think something else. He said he wanted to be forgiven. So I said if he wanted to be forgiven there was a prayer he could pray and talked him through it and asked if it expressed the desire of his heart. He nodded. I said he could pray it silently and know he was forgiven. He nodded again and so I gave him the booklet and he prayed to receive Jesus. I told him the likelihood he would go to Heaven now trusting in the blood and righteousness of Jesus was 100%. I explained the Christian life to him. He did not have a Bible so I gave him one and showed him the study helps in it. I wrote his name and the date and “forgiven!” on the inside. I also gave him Bible Promises for You and The Case for Christ Answer Booklet and a Bible Study. He was grateful and said, “Take all this?” I said, “Yeah,” and he said “Thank you.” I told him I would pray a Bible verse for him each day through the end of the year and all the next asking God to bless him. He shook my hand again and I headed off.

I came across Katie up on the north side of the third floor of the BIC building. She was sitting in a lounge that had a window that looked out on the atrium. She was a plump Latina girl with a round face and high cheek bones, a pretty mouth. Her curly hair was pulled up into a bun. She had on a bright blue sweatshirt and black shorts and had clear semi-round glasses on. She was really friendly and happy to talk. She said she wanted to travel to all 50 states and had been to 40 of them. I asked her what she would say to God if she died and He asked, “Why should I let you into Heaven?” “Honestly—I don’t know. I’d probably say there’s other people that deserve it more than me,” she replied. I told her there wasn’t a shortage of space and she grinned. I asked her the likelihood she would go to Heaven. “A solid 96%,” she replied. I asked if she went to Church. “More or less, here and there,” she said. When I asked her what Jesus had done to take away her sin (so God could live inside her) she said she didn’t know, explaining that she hadn’t been to church lately. I explained the Gospel to her. The blood of Jesus cleansing her from all sin and His life as a payment for the life we owed God. I explained the righteousness of God Chris earned to her credit by adoption and that she could receive Christ and by faith be saved. She liked all the examples. I asked her if she would want to be forgiven for her sins trusting in Jesus. Then He would live in her giving her strength by His Spirit and take her to Heaven when she died. Or did she think something else. “I think that I’d like to be forgiven,” she replied. I said if she wanted to be forgiven there was a prayer she could pray and I talked her through it asking if it expressed the desire of her heart. “Yeah,” she replied. I said she could pray it silently right now and know she was forgiven. “Wanna do it?” I asked. “Yeah,” she replied. She prayed then to receive Christ and crossed herself as she finished. I told her then the likelihood she would go to Heaven was 100% trusting in the blood and righteousness of Jesus. I gave her Bible Promises for You and write her name and the date and “forgiven!” in the front. I also gave her a Bible Study and The case for Christ Answer Booklet. I told her I would pray a Bible verse for her each day asking God to bless her for a year. “God bless you, it was nice to meet you,” I said getting up to go. “Thank you. It was nice to meet you too,” she replied and I headed off.

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

In Him,

Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

I hope your day was filled with the comfort of the God who makes us complete in Christ. I had a good day on campus.  I came across Hunter who hadn’t known had prayed to receive Christ last semester after I told him the Gospel. Please pray he grows in his faith. I also gave Mo (Mohammed a Twelver Shi’ism Muslim) a book of 60 questions Lee Strobel answers called The Case for Christianity Answer Book. He looked like a thin slightly built Persian Jesus, long hair a beard and an angular pointed nose, wearing Jeans and a Hoodie. When I explained that God’s justice was satisfied by Jesus’ blood which was filled with life he said, “I always wondered how God’s mercy and justice could go together, [as] when He extends his mercy His justice isn’t complete.” I agreed. He said he knew more about Christianity than any of his other family members and was interested in it finding things matching it in the Quran. He had read the Divine Comedy and other Christian works.  I agreed saying that the Quran in many places affirms the teaching of the Bible but nowhere condemns it. He agreed. He felt Ḥusayn was a martyr like a Christ who he believed also went directly to Heaven. Ḥusayn had died heroically. We had a good conversation and I felt God led me to him. Please pray these men come closer to God and Mo finds faith.

Hunter had not prayed until he got home. So I did not find out until today. He has narrow braids that hang in his eyes touching the top of his nose coming out of a nylon cap, same look he had last fall. He had been baptized 4months before we talked then but had not understood the Gospel. When I asked him what he would say to God, if he died and were asked, “Why should I let you into heaven?” he said. “I mean I don’t think I could say anything except, ‘Let my actions speak for themselves.’” He then told me he’d just been baptized. I asked him the likelihood he would get into Heaven and he said, “I hope like 90%. Not just that I’ve been actually working to be better.” He had not understood that Jesus had died for him and he needed to trust in that blood to be forgiven. He also had not understood the righteousness of Christ that was to his credit when God adopted him. So today I gave him Bible Promises for You and a Bible study and The Case for Christ Answer Booklet. He was glad to talk with me and was grateful. So I will be praying for him.

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

In Him,

Bob

Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

I hope your day found you filled up with the fullness of God as you walked with Him in newness of life. I had a good day on campus and Tari prayed with me to receive Jesus. I went through the Gospel with Molly, who thought she had been believing on Jesus already, though she had not seemed to understand the Gospel until I told her. She had mixed blonde hair in the PE, really friendly kid. And I got a quick seed planted with Ashley, a pretty Asian girl at a break in her class in the Science Building. Tari’s story is below if you have time. Please pray he grows in his faith.

Tari was sitting at the base of the stairs where you walk into the SRC building and the bookstore. African American he was a big dude with a short beard and a 3–4-inch afro like a smooth dome on his head. He wore a black polo shirt and faded blue jeans. He had kind of a mischievous grin when something amused him. I asked him if he wanted to do a student survey for a Bible Study group. He said he was in a group already so I asked if he would want to just answer one big metaphysical question. He said, “OK,” without much enthusiasm. So I asked, “You’re walking down the road, and you get hit by a bus. So you’re dead. And you stand before God and He asks: ‘Why should I let you into Heaven?’ What would you say?” He at first said that Christianity was part of his identity. He said he woke up each morning thinking about how he could improve. He had one more line that had something to do with good works towards other in the way he treated them. I said that Christianity was like a blood transfusion. “I have A+ blood, if you fill me up with B- blood by mistake I would clot up and die. So God wants to know and live inside you, transfuse His life into you, fill you with His Holy Spirit, but first he has to make you His type.” So I asked him what God had done to take away his sins. He guessed saying, “The Holy Spirit in you?” I told him the Holy Spirit could not live in him until his sins were removed first. I asked if he would like to hear some Bible verses that explained what God had done, I could show him really quick. He said he would, so I took out a booklet and showed him the verses in it and added more about the Blood of Jesus and the Righteousness of God Christ earned. I explained how Jesus’ blood was a payment of life for the life we owed God for hurting His stuff, taking life. I said that God wanted to adopt Him and give him the blessings of His family, the sacrifice for his sins the blood that cleansed him and the righteousness of God that surrounded him. He received Jesus by faith, so if he believes Jesus was God had died for his sins and rose from the death, not that he just knew the story (which he hadn’t) but that he put his trust in that as a man. So if someone said to him, “Why should God let you into Heaven?” he’d say, “Because Jesus died for me.” That would mean he had faith in Jesus, and Grace, by faith, saved him. I asked if he wanted to be forgiven for his sins trusting in Jesus. Then God could live inside him and give him strength and take him to Heaven when he died. I gave him the Clif Notes version of Islam and the Buddha as alternatives and then asked again if he’d want to be forgiven trusting in Jesus. He nodded. I said if he wanted to be forgiven there was a prayer he could pray and talked him through it and asked if it expressed the desire of his heart. He nodded again. I said he could pray it silently and I would not hear him but God would—would he like to do that? He nodded again so I gave him the booklet and he prayed then to receive Christ. I explained the Christian life to him then. He had a Bible to read and so I gave him a copy of Bible Promises for You writing his name and the date and “forgiven!” in the front. I also gave him The Case for Christ Answer Booklet and a Bible Study showing some ways Jesus claimed to be the God of the Old Testament. I told him I would pray a Bible verse for him from now until Spring and one year after asking God to bless him. I got up to go and he said, “Thank you so much I really appreciate it.” And a big smile, “This was great!” You’re welcome I replied. “I’ll see you in Heaven.” “Thank you so much!” he said again and I headed off.

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

In Him,

Bob

Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I hope you had a great day marching with the righteous and standing on the promises of God. Nikola prayed to receive Jesus today and I prayed over a couple different students who shared some life struggles with me so that was a blessing too. Please pray Nikola grows in faith. His story is below if you want to spend the time.

Nikola was sitting on one of a group of benches against the wall by the exit to the patio, it’s the top of the waterfall turned off still from the winter. He had a mop of semi curly brown hair and a mustache only over his lip, a bit gapped in the middle beard under his chin, good-looking guy. He wore a black Bulls T-shirt with some colorful images on it and black shorts. He was a solid guy, 5×5. He said he went to a Macedonia Orthodox Church and thought he’d like to go back to Macedonia where he had some family and his parents were from. He looked Macedonian to me. I asked him if he was hit by a bus and died what he would say to God to get into Heaven. “That’s a good question,” he replied. I replied that a lot of people I ask that to hadn’t thought about it before. He thought for a minute and then asked me to read him the question again, I did and he then said, “Sorry give me a moment.” I said, “Sure.” He finally came up with, “I’d say, ‘Maybe I didn’t live a good life here, but I’d hope to make it better over there.” I asked him what the likelihood was he was going to Heaven and he thought it was up to God but he’d guess 80%. I began to go through the Gospel with him and after a little rephrasing (in the way I asked the question) he knew Jesus had sacrificed Himself to take away our sins. He then he agreed with the blood of Jesus cleansing us from all sin and I explained the payment of Christ’s blood. The Bible says, “Life is in the blood” [Lev. 17:11] Jesus is the source of all life and when we sin we take life. “If I rollover your foot (with my truck) I took some of your life, if I steal money from you spent your time and life to get that money so now I am stealing life from you,” I explained. So we owe God life. Jesus’ blood is life and so when He pours it out it pays God back for the life we owe Him. “So the real reason God forgives you is He got paid, but He had to pay Himself with the blood of Jesus.” I went on to explained the righteousness of God earned by Christ and given to us because we had no righteousness in our selves because we could not do anything perfect. God adopted us and gave this to us. He needed to receive Christ then to believe Jesus was God died for his sins and rose from the dead. Grace by faith saved him. I asked if he would want to be forgiven trusting in what Jesus had done. “Definitely,” he replied. I said then there was a prayer he could pray and read it through for him asking if it expressed the desire of his heart. “Yeah absolutely,” he replied. I said he could pray it silently and asked if he’d want to. “Yeah,” he replied. I handed him the booklet and he prayed to receive Jesus. “I guess you want this,” he said about the booklet but I said he could keep it. I explained the Christian life to him—praying, confessing, he had several Bibles. I explained him the Christian life was by the Spirit’s power inside out, asking God to transform him on the inside so he could do good things on the outside. I gave him Bible Promises for You and wrote his name and the date and “forgiven!” on the inside and he was grateful saying “Thank you” as I handed it to him. I gave him The Case for Christ Answer Booklet and he thought he might have heard of Strobel. I also gave him a Bible Study showing passages where Jesus claimed to be God. “Thank you. I appreciate it,” he said. I told him I would pray a Bible verse for him each day from now until Spring and one year after asking God to bless him. “Nice to talk with you,” he said shaking my hand. “Yeah God bless you,” I replied. “See you around hopefully,” he said. “Yeah, see you around,” I replied. And I headed out the doors.

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

In Him,

Bob

Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

I hope you had a blessed day walking in the Lord’s peace. I had a good day on campus though I somehow wrote and then forgot to send my Going Out email. Natalie and Stephanie each prayed with me to receive Christ today. Their stories are below if you have time. Please pray they grow in their faith.

Natalie was sitting in the cafeteria half way through a double patty hamburger, which she did not look big enough to eat given her slight frame. She wore black leggings and a black nylon shirt with kind of a mesh pattern in the long sleeves. She was pretty, with an oval face long eyelashes and a pretty white smile. if I had to guess I’d say she was Japanese in heritage but I didn’t ask. She had a very tiny gold cross on a thin chain around her neck. She had a small nose a small “cupid’s bow” upper lip that went up on the ends like if you pushed up the center of a curly bracket, the bottom lip barely visible. I don’t remember seeing a mouth like that before so if I see her again it might help to remember the image. It becomes difficult to remember faces. Until I had to look hard at faces doing evangelism I don’t think the shape of someone’s mouth occurred to me much before. She wanted to visit some bioluminescent beaches. I looked them up when I got home and they look pretty cool. I asked her what she would say to God if she died and He asked “Why should I let you into Heaven?” “I think that Heaven… I feel like there’s a right answer to this in a way. I think I would say I live in my truth,” she replied. “The Bible says you shall know the truth and the truth will make you free,” I replied. “Oh,” she said as if she hadn’t heard that. (I quoted the verse before it to her later John 8:31,32.) She thought she had a 50/50 chance of going to Heaven. I asked if she went to church and she said she’d gone to a Christian Church, it seemed more often when growing up. I began to go through the Gospel with her explaining that knowing God was that He lived inside her and He had to take away her sins to do it. She knew when I asked then that Jesus had died to take away her sins. I explained the blood of Jesus to cleanse her and pay God back for the life we have taken we owe Him for. I explained the righteousness of God Christ earned to her credit when God adopted her and that she needed to receive Christ by faith. Believing that Jesus was God had died for her sins and rose from the dead. This faith saved her. I asked her if she wanted to be forgiven for her sins & explained a couple other possibilities in Islam with a different God or the Buddha. “So would you want to be forgiven for your sins and add this to your truth?” I asked. “I mean I would want to be forgiven and have life in Christ,” she replied. So I said if she wanted to be forgiven there was a prayer she could pray and I talked her through it. I asked then if it expressed the desire of her heart. She nodded it did. So I said if she wanted then she could pray it silently, I wouldn’t hear her but God would and she’d know she was forgiven. “Wanna do it?” I asked. She thought for just a moment and then making up her mind said firmly, “Yes.” I said OK and handed her the booklet and she prayed to receive Christ. When she finished I said she could keep the booklet and told her I would pray a Bible verse for her each day from now until the end of Spring and one year after asking her to be blessed. I began explaining the life in Christ praying and such. She had a Bible. I said that the Christian life was lived, “By the Spirit’s Power” He gave us all the strength we needed to live life. “First you ask God to change you on the inside then you become a good woman and do good things on the outside.” I gave her Bible Promises for You and wrote her name and the date and “forgiven!” on the inside. I gave her The Case for Christ Answer Booklet explaining Strobel’s story and a Bible study on the claims of Christ to be the God of the Old Testament. I explained some of how science was now realizing evolution was not true as an example of other apologetics that was out there. “Sorry I think I made your hamburger cold,” I said. “I’m gonna eat it anyway,” she replied with a smile. “Well, thank you for this,” she said as I got up to go. I said “Your welcome,” and “God bless you.” “Thank you,” she said again. “Have a nice day,” she said kindly and I headed off.

Stephanie was sitting on a couch on just the other side of a high-backed couch near the payment windows at school screening her (and I) from the windows as I sat on the other side of her. She was a Latina with fair skin and a small nose in a round face with a bit of a chin beneath it. Her hair was behind her head in a long ponytail.  Her face scrunched up into a cute smile when something struck her as funny. She was above average in stature and wore purple flared leggings and a black sweatshirt. She said she drove an hour to school each day. She was friendly and sincere. She thought she’d like to go skydiving. I asked her what she would say to God if she died and were asked “Why should I let you into Heaven?” “I don’t know if I deserve forgive…,” she trailed off seriously. “I don’t know if I was meant to be. I want to go if He wants. I’ve done a lot of sins. I’m not sure to be honest.” She thought she had about a 75% chance of going to Heaven when she died. She went to a Roman Catholic Church. The first one she’d gone to had closed and combined with another, she’d tried that one but now went to a third one. I began to go through the Gospel with her saying eternal life was God living inside her. And she knew Jesus had died to take away our sins so the Holy Spirit could live in her. I explained how the blood of Jesus cleansed us from all sin and was how God got paid with the life in Christ’s blood. I said this was the symbolism in the mass. The wine was symbolic of His blood and the bread of His body and it’s reminding you Jesus died for you and so your sins are forgiven. “Have you heard of the word Eucharist?” I asked. She said “Yes.” “The word Eucharist means ‘Thanksgiving’” I said. “It does?” she said surprised. I said it did in Greek, suggesting in taking it you are being thankful. I went on to explain the righteousness of God Christ earned that God gave her when He adopted her. I said 500 people saw him rise at one time along with the apostles.  “So that’s Christianity when you think about it. God loves you, He want to know and live inside you, but he can’t because of sin. So Jesus pays for your sin. So the Bible says God demonstrates his love for us, while we were still sinners Christ died for us. So how do you hook up with everything God did for you, you believe it or receive it,” I said. Then I explained that and that her good stuff could not fix her bad stuff. She was really engaged all through. I asked if she would want to be forgiven or thought something else. “I would want to be forgiven,” she replied. I said if she wanted to be forgiven there was a prayer she could pray and I talked through the prayer with her and asked if it expressed the desire of her heart. “It does,” she replied. I said she could pray it silently and God would hear her and asked if she would want to do that. ‘Yeah,” she said and took the booklet with the prayer in it and prayed to receive Jesus. I told her then I would pray a Bible verse for her each day ‘til Spring and one year after asking God to bless her. I said the likelihood she would now be forgiven was 100% trusting in the blood and righteousness of Jesus. I explained by a story that it matters who dies the work saying that because Jesus does the work it’s worth an infinite amount. I went through the Christian life living By the Spirit’s Power asking for God’s help in everything and asking God to transform her “Inside Out”, then she would become a good person and do good things. I gave her Bible Promises for You and wrote her name and the date and “forgiven!” on the inside. I gave her The Case for Christ Answer Booklet and said she could find more of Strobel’s stuff on line if she liked it to listen while she drove to school. I also gave her a Bible Study and explained it a bit. “Nice to meet you I’ll see you in Heaven,” I said getting up to go. “Be careful driving,” I said. “Thank you so much, nice to meet you. Be safe,” she said. And I headed off.

So thanks for your prayers for the ministry of evangelism God truly blessed today.

In Him,

Bob

Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I hope your day was blessed with good works God prepared for you to walk in. I had a good day on campus and Tim heard the Gospel and wanted to be forgiven saying he would pray later as he was late for class. So I’ll pray for him hoping he will truly receive the Lord. And Rachel prayed with me to receive Jesus. Their stories are below if you have time. Please pray they grow in their faith.

I felt a nudge when I first got to school to go up to the third floor of the BIC so I locked my coat and headed up. Tim was sitting on the outside bench of a glassed-in lounge half of the way down the hall on the south side of the building. All I could see of his hair was a couple thick stiff braids poking out of either side of his black hoodie he had pulled pull up. He wore black sweats for pants.  His face was down but he looked like another guy who I had talked to this year. I went inside the lounge but no one wanted to talk so coming out I asked him just to be sure. He thought we might have talked before but didn’t remember anything and I knew when he told me his name and got a good look at his face I was thinking of someone else. I asked him what he would say to God to get into Heaven, “I don’t know,” he replied. “I’m a sinner and I don’t deserve to go to Heaven.” I asked how likely it was he would go to Heaven if God just had mercy on him. “I feel like I got faith and hope, I still got a shot,” he replied. He knew Jesus had died on the cross to take away the sins of the world. I went through the Gospel and he seemed to believe as when I asked him if he wanted to be forgiven he said he did and he said the prayer expressed the desire of his heart. But then he said he would pray later. It turned out he was already late for class. “Thank you I ‘preciate it,” he said. I said I’d pray for him if he somehow let me know he’d prayed so maybe I’ll run into him again. “Thank you Bro, stay blessed,” he said standing to go and he hurried off.

Rachel was sitting on a bench in a connecting hall outside the dental office where they teach students to do cleanings. She had what looked like a long shag hair cut that was died a deeper blonde. She had a black motorcycle helmet on the bench next to her and had ridden a 200cc to school, I think she said it was a Kawasaki. She asked if I had a bike for some reason and I told her what I road and owned. She wore a black hoodie with white lettering of some kind on it I couldn’t make out well. Her jeans were faded light blue. She was pretty had a perfect mouth and high cheek-bones, dark eyeliner around her eyes. I asked her what she would say to God if she died and He asked why should I let you into Heaven. “That’s a hard question,” she said, thinking a minute. “I don’t know how to answer that. She thought she had a 75% chance of going to Heaven and seemed like a caring person. I asked her if she ever went to Church. She said she went with her mom and told me what road it was on. I began to go through the Gospel with her and told her God loved her and wanted to live inside her but to do that He had to take away her sins. I asked, “So what is the thing God does to take away your sins with Jesus.” “I don’t know,” she said without thinking in the least like the concept didn’t trigger a thought in anyway at all. So I just went into the Gospel explained the blood of Christ filled with life that paid for the things she owed God for wrecking His stuff. His righteousness was to her credit when He adopted her and made her His child. All this was hers when she received Jesus. So if someone asked why God should let her into Heaven she’d say “Because Jesus died for me.” I asked her if she wanted to be forgiven trusting in what Jesus had done, then he would live in her by His Spirit and take her to Heaven when she died or thought something else? I explained a bit of Islam and the Buddha saying again, “So would you want to be forgiven?” “Yeah,” she said. I said if she wanted to be forgiven there was a prayer she could pray and talked her through it asking if it was the desire of her heart. “Um hum,” she said. I said she could pray it silently and I wouldn’t hear but God would, “Wanna do that?” I asked. She nodded in response and she took the booklet and prayed to receive Jesus. “Your sins are forgiven,” I said brightly when she’d finished. She grinned in response. “Now if you go down you’ll go up,” I said referring to riding her motorcycle as we’d talked about the dangers of it. She had a Bible her aunt gave her whom she said “Worked at a Church.” Apparently her aunt had gotten it from there. I gave her Bible Promises for You and wrote her name and the date and forgiven!” in the front and she expressed that she liked it and said, “Thank you,” as I handed it to her. I gave her The Case for Christ Answer Booklet, which she also liked and a Bible Study explaining that when Jesus walked on water He was claiming to be the God of the Old Testament. “I feel like when you explain it that way it makes a lot of sense,” she said taking the Bible Study. I said that was the Holy Spirit in both of us helping her understand and also God had given me some things to say that sound good. That seemed to make sense. I explained the Christian life living By the Spirit’s Power “Inside Out”. I said God could help her even on her Bike and help make us better at things. I’d told her that I prayed when I first started out on a ride.  I told her I would pray a Bible verse for her each day through Spring and the next Year after asking God to bless her. She was thankful and I got up to go. She asked me where the bathroom was to I told her, it made me wonder if she was a student or just meeting some friends. I bumped into her as she cut across the lounge from the bathroom a little later and told her I had forgotten to tell her the likelihood she would now go to Heaven trusting in the righteousness and blood of Jesus was 100%. “Thank you,” she said and we parted ways.

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

In Him,

Bob
