Results of the Work – 4/30/25

Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

I hope your day was filled with the comfort of the God who makes us complete in Christ. I had a good day on campus.  I came across Hunter who hadn’t known had prayed to receive Christ last semester after I told him the Gospel. Please pray he grows in his faith. I also gave Mo (Mohammed a Twelver Shi’ism Muslim) a book of 60 questions Lee Strobel answers called The Case for Christianity Answer Book. He looked like a thin slightly built Persian Jesus, long hair a beard and an angular pointed nose, wearing Jeans and a Hoodie. When I explained that God’s justice was satisfied by Jesus’ blood which was filled with life he said, “I always wondered how God’s mercy and justice could go together, [as] when He extends his mercy His justice isn’t complete.” I agreed. He said he knew more about Christianity than any of his other family members and was interested in it finding things matching it in the Quran. He had read the Divine Comedy and other Christian works.  I agreed saying that the Quran in many places affirms the teaching of the Bible but nowhere condemns it. He agreed. He felt Ḥusayn was a martyr like a Christ who he believed also went directly to Heaven. Ḥusayn had died heroically. We had a good conversation and I felt God led me to him. Please pray these men come closer to God and Mo finds faith.

Hunter had not prayed until he got home. So I did not find out until today. He has narrow braids that hang in his eyes touching the top of his nose coming out of a nylon cap, same look he had last fall. He had been baptized 4months before we talked then but had not understood the Gospel. When I asked him what he would say to God, if he died and were asked, “Why should I let you into heaven?” he said. “I mean I don’t think I could say anything except, ‘Let my actions speak for themselves.’” He then told me he’d just been baptized. I asked him the likelihood he would get into Heaven and he said, “I hope like 90%. Not just that I’ve been actually working to be better.” He had not understood that Jesus had died for him and he needed to trust in that blood to be forgiven. He also had not understood the righteousness of Christ that was to his credit when God adopted him. So today I gave him Bible Promises for You and a Bible study and The Case for Christ Answer Booklet. He was glad to talk with me and was grateful. So I will be praying for him.

So Thanks for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism today if you had a chance, God truly blessed.

In Him,

Bob
