Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ.
I hope your weekend has been going good. I have been working on stuff and finally remembered I never wrote results of the work for Thursday. Friday I closed up a paint job I’d been at for parts of 3 days but the school is a ghost town the Friday before Spring break so I did not plan to go. But Thursday Mallory prayed with me to receive Jesus. I also gave the student editor of The Case for Christ to Sophia dressed in workout clothes i the PE building, as I went through the gospel with her she said, “I never knew that” several times. I also gave The student edition of The Case for Faith to a high school student Paul who was very close to believing but had some doubts thinking of himself as a skeptic.
Mallory had a pretty face and wearing black pants and a jacket with a white print blouse visible in front. A little better than average in stature. She had long wavy shoulder length hair and red lipstick. It turned out she attended a Catholic Church in Winfield. She was sitting in a lounge half way down the hall in first wing of the Science building on the south side. She was waiting for her class to begin and did not think she had the time to do a student survey. So I asked her if she’d like the cliff notes version to answer just one question. She said OK. So I said, “Say you’re walking down the road and you get hit by a bus, so you’re dead and you stand before God and He said, ‘why should I let you into Heaven?’ What would you say?” “I don’t know but I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately.” “Well, would you like to know what the Bible says about how you get into Heaven? Or not so much?” I asked. She said I could tell her so I went through the gospel with her. She knew Jesus had died to take away her sins. She listened closely to everything I said and so when I asked her if she’d like to be forgiven she said she would. So I offered her the prayer walking her through it and she prayed silently to receive Christ. I explained life in the Spirit living inside out by God’s power. I gave her 20 Things God Can’t Do and wrote “By the Spirit’s Power” in the front and her name and the date she was forgiven. She said she had a Bible that everyone in her family had their own Bible I also explained a symbolic view of the mass suggesting when she took it she could simply say “Thank you” to God knowing that because Jesus had died for her she was forgiven. I gave her a Bible study too. She was very appreciative and thanked me and I told her I would pray for her. She thanked me again and said she would pray for me too. And I headed out.
So thanks for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism Thursday if you had a chance, God truly blessed and I got a couple good seeds planted too.
In Him,
Bob
