Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Well, I had a good day sharing today.  I had some good conversations with some Christians and encouraged them in their faith and the assurance of Salvation, explaining the work of Christ on the Cross in a manner they might understand. It is often the most humble students who are living closest to the Kingdom of God that lack this assurance and it is often a joy to talk to them and see them trust more deeply in Christ.

The first guy I talked to came to Christ, Mike. Red-headed guy, a runner, half marathons. He was covenant and had not really thought about how God took away his sins. He went to church and had even been on some mission trips that were service oriented and kind of hoped that would get him to Heaven. He had not been trusting in the work of Christ to take away his sins, but he is now. He decided to pray to receive Christ and be forgiven for his sins. He was not an enthusiastic reader at all but I had The Case for Easter and that looked short enough for him to give it a try. He took a Bible study too and I got his e-mail to send him some short things to encourage his faith.

I had a very discouraging conversation about world views at the end of the day with a representative of the Newman Club who was not a student.  It reminded me that a lot of those purporting to be Christians on campus are not really teaching anything from the Bible or about the truth. So thanks for your prayers to help the Gospel go out.  God is blessing these prayers and I am led by them on campus.

I will be back at it tomorrow, I thought I would be painting but the job got moved to another day.

In Him,
Bob Bollow
