Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

I Hope your day was blessed walking with the Lord. I had a good day on campus. A girl named Honey prayed to receive Jesus today. I’m not sure if it is a nick name or her folks actually named her “Honey”. I did not have a lot of time with her as she was checking her phone about to walk out the doors when I came across her. She was sitting in the small lounge down the hall from where we have Bible Study. She appeared to be Filipino and had long straight hair down past her shoulders parted in the middle, cute girl, petite. She wore a black coat and gray leggings and had 3/4 circle glasses that flatten somewhat at the top that continually slipped down her button nose as we spoke. I asked her if she would like to do a student survey and she said “What’s it about?” “It’s questions about what you think about God.” She seemed uncertain so I said, “It’s questions like, say you are 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 said she wasn’t sure. “Well would you like to know what the Bible says about how you get to Heaven or not so much?” She said, “OK”. “Do you want to take a survey or just know what the Bible says?” I asked sitting next to her and telling her my name. “Just the Bible.” she replied. So I began to show her verses some of which were the booklet and to go through the Gospel. I asked her how God took away her sins and she said she did not know. She also said she went to church it turned out to be Roman Catholic. I then explained that God became a man, Jesus and he had died for her sins. Then I explained Imputation to her with an illustration about extra credit in class she was caught up in listening to and quoted Isaiah 61:10 and Romans 13:14. “So you don’t go to Heaven because you’re good but because Jesus is good. Like if you marry a millionaire ya got a million bucks or if you get adopted into a billionaire’s family you get to live int the mansion and drive the cars.” I said God adopts her and makes her his child and gives her his stuff, “the righteousness of God.” “I like that,” she replied. I explained she had to receive Jesus by trusting in Him and what he had done on the cross. I asked her if she wanted to be forgiven trusting in Jesus with God living inside her or thought something else and she wanted to be forgiven. “Well it doesn’t seem like you had ever put all this together before?” “Right.” she replied. So I explained if she wanted to trust in Jesus to be forgiven there was a prayer she could pray silently in her heart. She agreed and took the booklet and I said, “Just pretend I’m not here.” “Can I keep this at the end?” she asked of the booklet and I said, “Sure.” She prayed then to receive Jesus and I explained the life in Christ living by the Spirit. I gave her the book, 20 Things God Can’t Do writing her name and the date she had been forgiven and a bible study to read. I gave her a symbolic view of the mass saying when that time came in the service the little wafer was symbolic of Jesus body and the wine was symbolic of His blood so it is remembering Jesus died for her and so her sins were forgiven.” Oh!” she said having never put that together before. “So when you take it you can just tell God ‘thank you’.” She gave me her email to send her some more stuff. “Thank you, Bob,” she said shaking my hand. I said, “You’re welcome, if I don’t see you around again I’ll see you in Heaven. And she smiled happily.

So thanks for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism today if you had a chance, God blessed and I got some other good seeds planted too.

In Him,

Bob
