Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

I hope your day was blessed with all good things from the Lord. I had a good day on campus so far and I’ll return to teach a Bible Study towards evening. A guy whose name was Prodigy prayed with me to receive Christ today. His story is below if you have some time. Please pray he grows in his faith. I’d be grateful if you’d pray we get students back for the Bible study as I am hoping some have trusted Christ after going through the Gospel with them last week.

Prodigy was sitting just after the fire doors on the hall side of the SRC building. He had a black tank top on and a gold chain, his black hoodie zipped up halfway and black sweats. He had smallish, handsome, boyish features. His loose afro was pulled back into a knot behind his head. He had a barely showing mustache. He was studying computer science and wanted to get some kind of virtual business going. I asked him “You’re walking down the road and you get hit by a bus. So you’re dead. And you stand before God and he says, “Why should I let you into Heaven?’ What would you say?” “Just ‘cause of how kind I been to a lot of people. I also stood up for a lot of people being picked on… I done a lot of good for a lot of people so why not,” he said. He thought he had a 100% chance of going to Heaven and went to church a couple times a month. I began to go through the Gospel with him and explaining that God wanted to transfuse His life into him by the Holy Spirit living in him but first had to take away his sins. “So what’s the big thing Jesus did back in History to take away the sins of the world?” I asked. He could not think of anything so I began to go through the Gospel explaining the blood and righteousness of Christ. He listened to the analogies and looked me in the eye, interested. I explained that he needed to receive Jesus to believe Jesus is God died for his sins and rose from the dead. I asked if he would want to be forgiven for his sins trusting in what Jesus had done. Then the Spirit would live inside him and give him strength, take him to Heaven when he died. Or did he think something else. He pointed with his finger to the circle with Christ living inside him on the throne of his life. I said if he wanted to be forgiven there was a prayer he could pray and I read it through for him explaining each line. “I like this,” he said in response to the prayer. I asked if it expressed the desire of his heart? “Yeah,” he replied. I said he could pray it silently and know he’s forgiven. “Wanna do it?” “Yeah,” he said again and he took the booklet and prayed to receive Jesus. I gave him Bible Promises for You and wrote his name and the date and “forgiven!” in the front. “Thank you,” he said as I handed it to him. I asked if he liked to read he said he liked to read some things. I showed him The Case for Christ Answer Booklet and explained Strobel’s story. “I’d read that,” he replied. I gave him a Bible Study explaining it and it didn’t seem he’d heard the story of Jesus walking on the water so I told him and the story and explained how it was a claim to be God based on the description in Job. I told him I would pray a Bible verse for him each day from now until Spring and one year after asking God to bless him. He said he appreciated it. I got up to go and said, “Cool to meet you.” “Nice to meet you too,” he replied. And I headed off.

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

In Him,

Bob
