Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I hope your day was blessed. I had a good day on campus and Angelo prayed with me to receive Jesus.

He was sitting in the MAC arts building lounge at a countertop high table not up to much with his phone. He had the short classic Superman hair cut short on the sides. His eyes looked classically Asian, nice smile. I knew from looking at him he was Filipino and he said he wanted to be a Nurse Anesthetist; many Filipinos are nurses in the US. He was raised catholic. He was wearing a wind breaker had a narrow face, slight build. When I asked him what he would say to God to get into Heaven he said, “That’s a good question…I’m not really sure, I’m not a very religious person. I have my moral values I go by. I’d just be a good person but if you don’t want me in that’s fine.” He thought he had a 50/50 chance of going to Heaven. I went through the Gospel with him and he knew Jesus had died to take away our sins. When I asked him if he’d want to be forgiven for his sins and trust in Jesus he wanted that so I asked if when he, if ever, asked for forgiveness if he thought he would be forgiven because of Jesus. “That’s a really tough question. I usually depend on myself and if I need an outside force to help me, AKA God I ask.” I said if he wanted to be forgiven and be in a relationship with God there was a prayer he could pray. Then I walked him through it but right away went on to explain living the Christian life by the power of God’s Spirit living “inside out”. Then I explained how God provided the fruit of His Spirit to give us the strength to live quoting them and saying these were all things that would be helpful in being a nurse and he agreed with that. “Anything God is asking you to do is when is best for you and He gives you the strength to do it.” I explained.  Then I asked, “Do you believe Jesus is God, He died for your sins, and rose from the dead?” “Yeah, I do,” he said. “Well if you wanted to place your trust in that and pray to be forgiven God can live inside you and help you with all of the tasks of life wanna do it?” “Yeah,” he said nodding emphatically. And he prayed with me to receive Jesus. I gave him a Bible showing him the “Where to Turn” section writing his name, the date and “forgiven” and a Bible Study. I also gave him 20 Things God Can’t Do writing “By the Spirit’s Power” in the front. I told him I would keep him in my prayers and explained that if he would trust in Jesus righteousness to be his righteousness the likelihood he would go to Heaven was 100%. He was grateful and I thanked him for talking with me, “You made my day, God bless you” He grinned at me and said, “God bless you too.”

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

In Him,

Bob
