Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

I hope your day was blessed with things you did not expect showing you the goodness of God. I had kind of a difficult time getting going on campus as I had a bad headache late last night and the medicine made me feel a bit like I was walking on a sand dune all day. But I had some good conversations with Christians helping them affirm their faith and Patty prayed with me to receive Jesus.

Patty was a cute kid; she had on nylon royal blue sets and a jacket over some kind of athletic shirt and a stocking cap. Her thick brown hair came down past her shoulders and she wore brown framed glasses. She was sitting with her brother, Drey (who had prayed to receive Jesus October 1st) in the science building lounge. Recognizing me we said hi and he said something like, “This is my sister go through that stuff with her.” Seeing my opportunity and remembering I had not done any kind of survey with him I asked her, “OK ya wanna answer the magical question?” She said something like, “Is this the guy you were telling me about?” “Yeah” he said interested to see what she would say. “OK,” she replied. “So you are walking down the road and you get hit by a bus. So you’re dead, and you stand before God and He asks “Why should I let you into Heaven?'” She thought about it and shad to Drey, “Did you get the answer right?” “Obviously not,” he replied grinning a little. I got her name and gave her mine then, he had not really introduced us. “I don’t know,” she finally said. “Would you like to know some Bible verses that tell you the answer to the question?” I asked. “OK,” she answered. So I took out a booklet to help her remember what I was saying and used some of the Bible verses to tell her the Gospel. When I began to explain imputed righteousness like (the perfect life to her credit) the extra credit you get in a class she said to Drey, “This is that story you told me?” “Yeah,” he said. I told her the story anyway because in my experience people often screw up my stories and God was talking to her now. I explained the death of Jesus, so she would not have to die, and His blood cleansing her and that He rose from the dead. After that I asked her if she would want to be forgiven for her sins or thought something else. “I would want to be forgiven,” she replied so I told her there was a prayer she could pray silently, “Not like we’d hear you but God would hear” after I talked her through the prayer. She took the booklet and prayed to receive Christ. I wink-nodded at her brother and he nodded while she was praying. I gave her 20 Things God Can’t Do and wrote “By the Spirit’s power” along with her name and the date and “forgiven in the front. I asked her if she’d like a Bible Study to read and she said yes. I had not given one to Drey so he took one too and I talked her through one of the examples of how Jesus claims to be God by walking on the water. I also gave her some other examples of Jesus appearing in the Old Testament. I thanked Drey for setting me up and gave him a hug. I got her Email and said that would see them both in Heaven. “Thanks,” she said as I got up and began to walk away. “Yeah, Happy Thanksgiving.” I replied.

So thanks for your prayers for the Ministry and for Evangelism today if you had a chance, God blessed through my weakness.

In Him,

Bob
