Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I hope your weekend has been blessed and you and walking in some joy. I had a good day on campus Thursday John prayed to receive Christ and Mariana committed to Christ.

I bumped into Justin (in the PE lounge) a guy who had trusted Christ as his savior last year. He is on the track team but got a full ride to Wisconsin and was just hanging out to visit with a few of his friends after practice. I told him I was praying for him and he said he prayed for me too and grinned at me. Rachel walked up and sat down after a while. She had prayed to receive Christ last year. I told her I was praying for her when she said was surprised I remembered her name. After a bit Lionel walked up and sat down at Justin’s table across from me (he has not trusted Christ yet but said he kept the booklet with my notes in it from last year) and a bit later John sat down and Lionel pretty much was just bent over having been destroyed from running in practice, he hadn’t been in shape at all in summer. John seemed fit as a fiddle though. He had a rough topped afro, chin beard and mustache, smaller guy but he had his shirt off and a back pack and shorts on and he was ripped, chest and abs. After a bit I said I was gonna head out and look for some peeps to talk to and tell how to get to Heaven. I asked John if he knew how to go to heaven and he said, “Yeah you believe.” Believe what?” I asked. He wasn’t sure so I began to talk him through the Gospel. He hadn’t remembered how God took away his sins. Rachel and Justin trailed off in their own conversation and since John had pulled up a chair about 5 feel from the table I went over on my knees to show him some of the same verses I had quoted him and review using the booklet so he would have it. Lionel was still bent over looking down trying to recover in a chair several feet away so when he said he would want to be forgiven for his sins I encouraged him to pray to receive Jesus taking Him through the prayer. “Now, right here?” “Sure.” I said, “They won’t even notice.” “Out loud?” “No just silently between you and God,” I replied and he prayed to receive Christ. I gave him a Bible study. He had a bible it was his family bible but he said he took it with him when he left for school as no one else read it. I gave him 20 Things God Can’t Do and wrote his name and “forgiven” in the front along with by the Spirit’s power” having explained His power was the only way to live the Christian life. He took the booklet too and I said I would pray for him and I headed off saying goodbye to everyone and I would keep them in my prayers as I had also been praying for Lionel.

Mariana was studying on her computer and did not look up at me but I felt compelled to go back and talk with her, she was in a side hall between classrooms in the BIC building. She was a short Latina with a horizontal stripped shirt on and skinny jeans. She had an oval sweet face and brown and tan eye shadow. I asked her if she wanted to do a student survey but she was busy so I offered her a booklet and quickly explained what Jesus had done for her to pay for her sins. She went to Church on the holidays. So after the short conversation I asked her if she believed Jesus was God died for her sins and rose from the dead. “Well I didn’t before but I do now (after you explained this),” she replied. And would you want to trust in that for your sins to be forgiven. She said she would so I talked her through the prayer suggesting she could pray it later when she had time. I gave her a Bible study to and she thanked me and I headed off after inviting her to Bible Study. I walked a bit down the hallway and thought I could get away with giving her a Bible Promises for You book. So I walked back and offered it to her. She took it gratefully and thanked me and I wrote her name in the front and mine. Then I headed out leaving the rest to the Spirit and our prayers.

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

In Him,

Bob
