Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

I hope your day was blessed with the peace and love of Christ through His Spirit. I had a good day on campus Michael prayed to receive Christ today and Sabine a Black girl was unsure, but seemed to be struggling with the stuff going wrong in her life. She still goes to Church but wasn’t trusting Jesus as her savior so I’ll pray for her too and hope she trust in Christ. Michael’s story is below if you want to spend the time Please pray for these students.

Michael was sitting alone in the cafeteria at a table having finished lunch. He had on a black hoodie and light grey sweats. His hair was a loose curly mop that stopped just above his ears. He had a mustache and a beard below his chin. He wore a clear Plexiglas head around his neck depicting Jesus wearing a crown of thorns. It was bigger than a walnut and smaller than a plum and hung and off a thick chain about the width of a pinky finger. I’d never seen anything like it. He was a good-looking Latino guy with a sharp jaw line and pointed nose, slight and short. I asked him what he would say to God to get into Heaven and he said, “I would say even though I have sinned multiple times I have spread out the word of God. I follow the word of God. If you asked me if I would be let into Heaven I would say no. [But] that’s the ultimate goal.” He thought he’d earn it. He listened closely to the Scripture as I began to explain it to him. Though he said he never went to Church he knew John 3:16 and he knew Jesus had died for his sins when I asked him. I explained the cleansing blood of Christ to him. I said that His blood allowed God to live inside him saying this was also a payment to God, so that He was just to forgive him. Christ earned the righteousness of God by perfectly fulfilling the Law. He would not go to Heaven because he was good but because Jesus was good and he was connected to Him. This was the gift of God when God adopted him making him His child. He could receive Christ by faith. I asked if he would want to be forgiven or thought something else comparing the two circles. The one on the right had Christ inside him on the throne of his life. “I am definitely on this side,” he said pointing to that circle. I said if he wanted to be forgiven there was a prayer he could pray. I talked him through the prayer and asked if it was the desire of his heart. He nodded so I said he could pray it silently; I wouldn’t hear him but God would hear and he’d know he was forgiven. “Right now?” he asked. I said, “Yeah.” He took the booklet and asked if he should pray out loud. I said “No silently just between you and God.” So he prayed then to receive Jesus. I explained the Christian life “By the Spirit’s power living Inside Out”. He had a Bible but I gave him Bible Promises for You writing his name and the date and “forgiven!” in the front. I gave him a Bible Study on the deity of Christ and The Case for Christ. I told him I would pray for him each day from now until Spring and one year after. I got up to go and he said, “Thank you. I appreciate it.” I said, “All good,” and 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
