Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

I hope your week was blessed walking with the Lord, standing on the promises of God. I had a good week on campus as 5 students prayed with me to receive Jesus and one told me he’d prayed after we spoke last year. Lu prayed with me to receive Jesus on the 11^th. Tyler (a guy with a mustache and a sandy curly mop of hair) and Amelia (who looked Irish to me, with a cute near circular face and long sandy hair parted down the middle) thought they might pray later but had to run to class and took the booklet with the prayer. I had good discussion with Gabriel a Jew who was planning to return to a synagogue, not having been raised religious. I also went through the Gospel with a Muslim, Amir who took my number to talk more as he had to run for his ride. He seemed to be familiar with the Quran and misinformed about the Middle East probably a Da’wah guy. I used to speak with about 15 Muslims a year but the Muslim Student Association tells them not to talk to me now from what I have been told. Might be true as most say no now.

It was sad to see a campus evangelist and cultural influencer shot, Charlie Kirk. Though we can know he is with the Lord based on his testimony in his campus debates. Ella, a girl who prayed with me to receive Jesus last year showed me his words right before being shot on her phone. His comments, which though about transgender perpetrators of mass shootings, were not about assassination still… I’ve been praying for comfort for his family. Ironically another well-known “Influencer” Joe Rogan was shaken while talking with Charlie Sheen, when Charlie Kirk was shot. Could there be two more polar opposite men named “Charlie”? Strange things are now the normal world.

Lu was sitting in a booth in the recently remodeled Student Services Center Lounge. He was a Latino guy with a roundish block face straight hair in bangs and a five o’clock shadow you could only see where he’d have a mustache. He had rectangle lens tortoiseshell glasses and had a black NY logo jacket on with white letters. He was friendly and said he wanted to visit 3 different continents. I asked him what he would say to God if he died and were asked: “Why should I let you into Heaven?” “I would say I tried my best on Earth. I believe I put [in] the utmost effect that I could.” He thought he has a 70% chance of going to Heaven. He listened closely to the Gospel and when I asked what Jesus had done to take away the sins of the world, he knew He had died. I explained the pieces of the Gospel with the illustrations I always do, the blood to cleanse the life, in the blood, as a payment to God for what we owe Him. I explained the righteousness of God and that Jesus earned this on our behalf by perfectly keeping the Law. We inherit this by adoption and receive Christ by faith, “So if you believe Jesus is God, died for your sins and rose for the Dead. Not that you just knew the story but that that’s what you put your trust in. So if someone would say to you, ‘Why should God let you into heaven?’ you’d say, ‘Because Jesus died for me.’” I asked if he thought he want to be forgiven or thought something else. “Hm” he said looking at the circles and thinking, finally saying “I’d would like to be forgiven.” I said if he wanted to be forgiven there was a prayer he could pray and I talked him through it asking if it was the desire of his heart. He thought again for a moment and said, “I’d say so.” I said he could pray it silently right now; I wouldn’t hear him but God would hear and he’d know he was forgiven. “Wanna do it?” I asked. He thought for a moment again finally saying, “Sure, I’ll do it.” He took the booklet then and prayed to receive Jesus. I explained living the Christian life to him, “By the Spirit’s Power.” God would give him strength. I gave him Bible Promises for You and wrote his name and the Date and “forgiven!” on the inside and told him I would be praying for him each day from now until Spring and one year after. I gave him The Case for Christ Answer Booklet and a Bible Study. I told him then the likelihood he would go to Heaven was no 100% trusting in the blood and righteousness of Jesus. “It was nice to know you,” he said as I got up to leave. “Yeah nice to meet you. I’ll try to make it sometime [to the Bible study], I appreciate it.” I said no worries and I was off.

So thanks for your prayers for the ministry and for Evangelism this week, God truly blessed.

In Him,

Bob
