Results of the Work – 11/6/12

Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

Thanks for your prayers for the ministry and today if you had a chance.  I had a good day of talking with students and two peeps, Romeo and Martha, prayed with me to receive Christ.  I also got to talk a long time with two students I have been praying for; an Indian girl from a Muslim family and a guy who is part Philippino and part Chinese, I believe.  Those were good conversations I think God was in.  She is a Psych major and is taking a Philosophy class. Hearing students talk about the content of their Philosophy classes can make me wish I was teaching them.  She had almost a Hindu idea of life returning to “The Universe” after death absent reincarnation.  I talked to her about the latin phrase in Philosophy “ex nihilo nihil fit” meaning “out of nothing nothing comes.”  But I think it struck home with her that she needed God for values and morals as we spoke and she ended on theism. I will be praying she comes the rest of the way to Jesus.

Romeo is a black guy, braids, was sitting with some friends one of whom was a Christian.  They all listened well to the Gospel though, and I talked them up a bit too after Romeo had prayed to receive Jesus, giving all of them More Than a Carpenter to read. He hadn’t understood the Gospel before.  Romeo thought of himself as a christian, but had never asked God to forgive his sins based on the work of Christ to save him.  But he has now, and has believed in the Name of Christ . He was going to church, though, so I think his faith will take root.

Martha is Roman Catholic, pretty brown haired girl and said she did not go to church as much as she should.  She hadn’t understood anything of the Gospel but ate the word right up and believed . I encouraged her to pray to accept the forgiveness of Christ for her sins and she did with me. She had to run to class, but I gave her More Than a Carpenter to read and a Bible Study on the deity of Christ.

So please pray for Romeo and Martha if you get a chance and the peeps I talk to from time to time that they might come.  Thanks so much for your prayers, I am grateful.

In Him,
Bob Bollow
