Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

I hope your day was blessed in the Lord. I had a good day on campus in as much as I got several good seeds planted. But today was a little strange. I was sitting on the floor on the ground floor of the BIC building not far from the East door out. I was going through the Gospel with a guy named Hollis. Long chin beard, slight mustache, pretty jovial guy actually with his black hoodie up over a ball cap. In the middle of our conversation a young woman (she seemed like a special needs student) walked up shouting. She had a big parka on and her arms filled with fast food. She shouted (among other things), “All Korean people go to Hell.” So I paused and told her that was not true. Her speech was a bit slurred. She walked off a bit from us and was taking really loud using profanity. It through me off for a moment but Hollis seemed completely unfazed. I went on a bit more and she came back shouting some other things and I suggested there were some really nice seats in the MAC lounge over down the hall from us, wouldn’t she like to sit there. She complained about the cold a little less loudly, in spite of having a parka on and walked off. I finished up with Hollis and he took a copy of the student edition of The Case for Christ to read and we said good bye.

I chatted up some peeps I knew that had trusted Christ and encouraged a Christian guy in his faith. The last guy I talked to (Neil) was an Indian guy (lapsed from Temple attendance). Neil at the end said he thought the likelihood be believed Jesus was God and had died for his sins and rose from the dead was 50/50. As I  was offering him the booklet and explaining the last little thing about what is different about Christianity and other religions a grossly overweight, sloppily dressed, teacher, bald with a grey long beard walked up and interrupted asking the student if I had initiated the conversation. The student said I had. He turned to me informing me I was not allowed to do that. I informed him I was infect allowed to talk to students, and had a letter from the Vice President of Student Activities that said as much and directed the police to come to him before talking to me if they had received a complaint. He said he wanted to see it. I said I was not interested in showing it to him. He began to argue with me and I interrupted him and I asked him who had initiated the conversation we were now having. He said he had. I said I was not interested in talking to him and began to turn back to talk to Neil. He said I was required to produce that letter upon request. “No I’m not,” I replied and began talking to Neil. The faculty walked away saying some weird thing to Neil about burning in hell and Rastafarianism. I finished talking with Neil who slurped down the last of his milkshake and asked, “Was that guy kidding?” I said I didn’t know but guys like him were why I had to get a lawyer. Neil took the booklet to think about it and left out the doors. But I was a little bent at the guy and forgot to offer Neil a book. So I’ll pray for Neil and against the Professor whom I am sure attacks Christianity in his classes.

So thanks for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism today, God blessed. Fascist teachers in the hall notwithstanding.

In Him,

Bob
