Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I hope your day was blessed with God as a present help in trouble, many are the afflictions of the righteous, and the Lord delivers us from them all (Ps 34:19). My day on campus ended well as Jomelly prayed to receive Jesus. I had a good conversation with Gwen encouraging her faith she wanted to share with friends. Earlier Savannah heard the Gospel and she thought she would “probably pray tonight” so maybe I’ll find out if I bump into her again. She was a cute blonde softball player in the PE lounge. Jomelly’s story is below if you have some time. Please pray she grows in her faith.

Jomelly was sitting in the little 10-foot square lounge where people wait to have dental work done by students The work is discounted when compared to a dental office, but it takes longer, so if need cleaner teeth, then hey. Jomelly described herself as an introvert. She was a pretty Latina with an oval face that ended in a petite square chin. Her hair was in loose waves that might have been ringlets if very short. Hers went down past her shoulders and was tinted framing her face. Her face was the color of a perfect tan and she wore leggings and a pink long sleeve t-shirt. She was really nice. I asked her what she would say to God if she died and He asked, “Why should I let you into Heaven?” “‘Cause I always trusted His faith was there,” she replied. She had been at a church she really liked but it seemed like her family had moved away and she had not been able to find the community she had. Community by nature is something you can lose quickly but not regain quickly. She thought she had a 65% chance of going to Heaven. She listened to the Gospel smiling here and there but didn’t have much verbal comment at all. So I just prayed as I was speaking that God would touch her Heart to believe. She knew Jesus had died to take away her sins. So I explained that the Bible said His blood cleansed her and was a payment to God. I explained the righteousness of Christ to her credit when God adopted her, she could be then saved by faith in what He has done. I asked if she wanted to be forgiven or thought something else, showing her the circles and explaining what Islam and the Buddha thought. She read under the circle with Christ on the throne, “A life entrusted to Christ,” as her answer. So I said if she wanted to be forgiven there was a prayer she could pray. I explained it asking if it was the desire of her heart. She said it was so I said she could pray it silently and that I wouldn’t hear her but God would hear and she’d know she was forgiven. She nodded and took the booklet and prayed to receive Jesus and folded the corner where the prayer was. I told her she could keep it and said now trusting in the blood of Jesus and His righteousness to be hers the likelihood she would go to Heaven was 100%. “Thank you,” she said and I said she was welcome. I explained a life living by the Spirit’s power and she had a Bible so I said she could read in John. I gave her Bible Promises for You writing her name and the date and “forgiven!” in the front and also, The case for Christ Answer Booklet and a Bible Study. I said if she had any questions I reminded her my email was on the back of the booklet. “See you in Heaven,” I said getting up to go. She smiled and said, “OK.” And I 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
