Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I hope your day was blessed with all good tings from the Lord. I had a good day on campus it was a bit shorter since I got there late after a dentist appointment. But God blessed and Jake prayed with me to receive Christ.

Jake was sitting in a lounge on the Ground floor of the BIC. He was looking at his computer but was just killing time. I asked another guy a few chairs down to do a student survey and he wasn’t interested. As I turned to walk off Jake looked up so I asked him and he said he could pass some time. We ended up taking for an hour and 20 minutes. He looked a bit like the “Where’s Waldo” (a lot of guys seem to) character in the kids book absent the cap but he had the rimmed glasses. He was wearing jeans and a shirt. He had attended a Christian camp often as a kid and gone to Church then. When I asked him what he would say to God if He asked “Why should I let you into Heaven he said, “Because I never tried to do wrong in my life, maybe accidentally do wrong, but not intentionally do wrong by others.” I began to tell him God was a person who we can talk to, he said he had asked for things in prayer and they had been answered. He listened closely to the Gospel and seemed to agree with it as I went through it. He could not remember what Jesus had done to take away his sins. I explained that Jesus was God become man and lived a perfect life and died for him on the cross. That he did not go to church because he had done good things or even because he had avoided doing really bad things but because of what Christ had done. I explained how your good things did not fix your bad things and he identified with the example I gave him.  As I explained the gospel we talked about the power of unseen forces and different dimensions even things like in the book Alien Intrusion where the author believes those who were abducted by Aliens from outer space are actually oppressed by demons and sights accounts by investigators who said these abductions ceased when those attacked claimed the name of Jesus. Powers that come from a different dimension. He talked to me about some of the supernatural world of people he’d met had encountered. He wanted to be forgiven with God living inside him guiding him. I asked if he believed Jesus was God had died for his sins and rose from the dead. He said he told himself he believed that but sometimes it seems unreal. I told him faith was a gift and he could ask for more of it but it seemed like he felt he had some faith just not much and he agreed. I said then that if he wanted to place his trust in what God had done for him on the cross he could pray and God could strengthen his faith living inside him. He decided he wanted to do that and prayed to receive Christ. We talked more about the world as explained by the Bible and the unseen world and how it had been ruled before Christ conquered it by rising from the dead. I gave him a Bible. and showed him the “Where to Turn” section. He was surprised at that saying he did not know there were specific things like that in the Bible. I wrote his name in the front and the date and “forgiven” beneath it. I also gave him the student edition of  The Case for Christ to help him see some of the evidence for Christian belief. I wrote “By the Spirit’s Power” in the front of 20 Things God Can’t Do I sowed him the verses in the back and explained the idea of different translations. “Thanks,” he said as I got up to go and “I never heard all this stuff before.” I said he was welcome. I got his email to send him some youtube links and a Bible Study. He might come to the Bible Study and has a friend he wanted to bring as well.

So thanks for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism today if you had a chance, God blessed though the day was late and short.

In Him,

Bob
