Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

I hope your day was blessed as mine was in the Lord. Fabi & Noah each prayed with me to receive Jesus today. And Raul said he would pray later but had to run to his ride. Please pray they are blessed in their new faith and that Raul would have turned his heart to Christ as Savior.  The details are below if you have time. Thanks for your help in prayer.

 Fabi looked like she would have a cute face under her black fabric mask she had long brown waving/curly hair and wore leggings and a black fleece top, zipped at the neck. She was sitting in a lounge on the 1st floor waiting for a girl friend and searching for a house on the web her family could buy. She said her mom has her heart set on staying in Wooddale (where they have lived in an apartment their entire lives) and her carpenter dad could fix-up a place that needs work. She was Latina her mom having come here from Mexico. We spent a lot of time after she had prayed to receive Jesus talking about patience and waiting on the Lord for the right good thing, she really wanted a house for her family. I told her of some of the problems in the world right now, starvation in China (and cold they have no coal supplies and are collapsing financially). Europe is out of Natural Gas and there is premature winter happening everywhere it seems over there. I said there may be some turmoil God is sparing her and her family from where owning a home will be better on the other side of it.

When we first began talking I asked her what she would say to God to get into Heaven and she thought awhile with a “Hmm,” and a “Because…” finally saying, “Me and my family have always prayed… we have adored everything you do and do for us. I go to Church I would just stand by Him.” She thought she had a 50/50 change of going to Heaven and said she had done all the things you do in the Catholic Church as you grow up. When I asked her what Jesus had done to take away her sins she did not know at all however and as I began to explain the Gospel where Jesus died for her she said, “Wow.” I explained His cleansing blood and righteousness to her credit. She took it all in and I slowed down to make sure she understood. When I had finished and asked if she would like to be forgiven with God inside her she immediately said, “Yes.” And I said if she wanted to be forgiven there was a prayer she could pray and talked her through it. I asked if she would like to pray it silently and she immediately said “Yes.” “OK go ahead,” I replied. And she prayed to receive Christ. She asked if she could keep the booklet and I said sure. I explained a life in Christ to her “Inside Out By the Spirit’s Power” I gave her a Bible Promises for You book (writing her name and the Date and “forgiven” in the front) as we talked about how much she wanted a house and said she should pray the verses in it and keep trusting in the Lord. I showed her several. She seemed worried about the vaccine having taken it and saying her brother had heard people were being injured and refused the 2^nd shot. I said not to worry but to pray if it had hurt her in anyway God would heal her. I also gave her a Bible Study and 20 Things God Can’t Do writing “Just Ask” in the front and on several pages. She was a great kid. As her friend walked up she said, “Thanks for all this!” I said sure and gave her a card with my # on it. She said when they got a house she’d text me as I said I would be praying that for her for the next year.

Noah, a Black guy, was sitting in the hall near where the BIC begins a tunnel into the PE building. He has short hair on the sides of his 2 inch afro and small freckles on either side of his narrow nose you could see when his mask slipped down. His face was narrow. He seemed to be waiting on a girl I had seen him within the past who had a basketball size, loose, curly afro but when she came she stuck to her phone. He had dark Blue/grey sweats on and was tall and on the thin side. When I asked him what he would day to God to be let into Heaven he said, “That’s a deep question.” Then thinking more he said, “Because I always believed in you.” He thought the likelihood he would go to Heaven was 100%. He had a female family member who was a pastor and they all went to church now on line. He did not know what Jesus had done to take away his sins and the Gospel seemed completely novel. But he tuned right in and when the girl he was waiting for came he did not acknowledge her and she simply stayed on her phone. He said some things that showed he was tracking. When I asked if he would want to be forgiven with God inside him he said, “God inside me. I explained there was a prayer he could pray. I talked through the prayer the prayer saying that if he wanted he could pray it silently and he said, “Yeah.” Like it was the next obvious thing to do. I quickly showed him a life in Christ. And he got up to go saying, “Thanks so much. I really needed this.” I said, “Here let me give you a book,” and just had time to give him a Bible promises for You book as he headed out but I feel like I will see him again.

So thanks very much for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism today if you had a chance. God truly blessed. There is no school tomorrow but I will be back at it Wednesday.

In Him,

Bob
