Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

I hope your day was blessed walking with the Lord. I had a good day on campus and Nickie & Jaslynn [jazz lin] each prayed with me to receive Jesus today. 

Nickie was sitting on a cubby hole that looks out over the science building lounge she had a pull over fence on and leggings. She had long brown hair to her shoulders. Her face had squared larger features, she seemed really well adjusted and happy, and she said she had been having some struggles so about a year ago she decided to give her life to Christ. I think that for her that meant to try to live a life she assumed would be more pleasing to God. When I asked her if she died what she would say to God to get into heaven she struggled with the question for a while, “Oh my gosh… I should know the answer to this.” So I asked her about church and what they would say. She had been going to a church near her but it got strange somehow, so she and her two older brothers do a bible study now at her house. “Well what do you think it is that get you into Heaven?” I asked. “I never really thought about it,” she replied. So I said I would explain it to her and began going through the Gospel with her. When I asked her how God had taken away her son she referred to her past and it seemed like she felt like she had had a time where God become closer to her existentially, in a feeling sort of way. I said that was great but it did not forgive her sins. She was close the truth in her intentions to draw closer to God but to be in a relationship with Him (not just have a relationship with Him as her creator where she merely felt more near to Him) she needed to trust in what Jesus had done to be her savior. After I had finished talking to her about what Jesus had done to die for her sins she said she wanted to be forgiven. I asked if she’d want to trust in that there was a prayer she could pray, explaining it I asked “would she like to pray it silently?” “Yeah,” she said brightly and then prayed to receive Jesus. I explained the Christian life to her living “Inside Out” asking for God’s power and help in all things. I gave her a Bible study and 20 Things God Can’t Do writing her name and the date and “forgiven” In the front. I gave her a couple of Bible studies too. “Thank you,” she said as I got up to leave after getting her email. “Yeah, it was nice to meet you,” I replied. “It was nice to meet you too,” she said. “Tell your brothers I said hi.” and she said she would.

Jaslynn was sitting on a bench in the other science building in the hall. She had long brown hair, nice looking girl in a sweat shirt and was with her infant daughter who was in a pink print, footed, pajama. Her child didn’t have much brown hair, bit of a mop on top but was very active on the bench. I suppose she was 1 years old. I walked up smiling and asked her child’s name and it was “Genesis.” “God bless you Genesis,” I said putting my hand on her head, really cute little kid. “Oh Genesis like the first book in the Bible, are you religious at all?” “No but my grandparents are,” she said. I said “We have a bible study on campus,” I talked to her a bit and then asks if she were to die and stand before God and he asked her why He should let her into Heaven what would she say? She didn’t know so I said, “Well, I have a little booklet you could read if you wanted to know how it is you get to Heaven, would you like it?” She said she would so I got it out and began to read the Bible verses to her. She took in all of the Gospel and wanted to be forgiven so I walked her through the prayer and she read it as I explained it and said, “Amen.” I gave her her own Bible since she only had a family Bible. I showed her the “Where to Turn” section and gave her some things she could read and I gave her a Bible study on The prayers of Paul. It turned out her dad had died when she was very young, I think she said 11. Her mom was upset at first about her pregnancy but now she lived at home and really loves her grandchild. I explained how everything God was asking her to do he would give her the strength to do it. I gave her the book Bible promises for You writing her name inside and the date and “forgiven”. She thanked me and I told her I would keep her in my prayers. She told me she went to Triton for school then, so I’ll pray for her knowing I’ll not see her again. I blessed Genesis again and headed out.

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

In Him,

Bob
