Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

I hope ya had a great day walking in the faith. I had a good day on campus and Daisha prayed with me to receive Jesus today, please pray she grows in her faith. Nick said he might pray tonight a shaggy sandy haired small guy in the cafeteria with a short groomed beard, he thanked me for “explaining this” to him. I gave a book a Muslim girl who interrupted my going through the Gospel with Frank who took The Case for Christ Answer Booklet So God had some work for me today. Thanks for your prayers. Two students trusted in Christ at the Bible study last night Victoria and Antonio.

There are some recessed alcoves on the third floor they have made into seating areas. These overlook the third floor of the SSC lounge where we have Bible Study. Daisha was sitting in one that had two stuffed chairs and an end table between them. African American, she had long light brown hair falling to her shoulders sort of fair skinned. She wore a t-shirt and grey sweats and had wire frame rectangular glasses on with red socks and white red-laced shoes. She had a wide mouth and a cute, short face. I asked if she’d want to do a student survey for a Bible Study group. “I’ve already done one,” she replied. “With me?” I replied knowing we hadn’t talked this year. “No someone else,” she replied. “Well, this is different the big question is; ‘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?’ She said, “I don’t know what I’d say.” “Well,” I asked, “would you like to hear the Bible verses that tell you how you get to Heaven or aren’t you interested. She said OK so I put my backpack against the other chair and said, “I’ll sit at your feet, like you’re a queen,” I replied and sitting on the floor to her left I began to explain the Gospel. I said all I usually say saying God wanted to live inside her but had to take away her sin. I asked what Jesus had done back in history to take away the sins of the world. “He died on the cross,” she replied. “Right, He died for you,” I replied and explained how Jesus blood had cleansed her of sin and was a payment to God. She was engaged but seemed pretty shy. I explained how Jesus had earned the righteousness of God illustrating it like getting someone’s extra credit you did not earn getting 100% in class. She grinned at that story and I said then she needed to receive Jesus by faith, believing Jesus is God died for her sins and rose from the dead. “Not that you just knew the story but that that’s what you put your trust in so that if someone would say to you, ‘Why should God let you into Heaven?’ you’d say, ‘Because Jesus died for me.’” I asked if she would want to be forgiven for her sins trusting in what Jesus had done or if she thought something else. “I would want to be forgiven for my sins,” she said. So I said if she wanted to be forgiven there was a prayer she could pray and I read it through for her and asked if it expressed the desire of her heart reading from the booklet. “Yeah,” she replied. So I said she could pray it silently right now, “I wouldn’t hear you but God would hear and you’d know you were forgiven. Wanna do it?” “Yeah,” she said again and she prayed to receive Jesus. I took the booklet back and she said, “Thank you.” I explained living the Christian life by the Spirit’s power and asked if she went to Church. She said she went to a Christian Church. I told her I had a book for her and gave her, Bible Promises for You and wrote her name and the date and “forgiven!” in the front. She liked to read and so I also gave her The Case for Christ Answer Booklet. I gave her a Bible study and explained it and told her I would pray a Bible verse for her each day from now until Spring and one year after. I said if I saw her again I would just say hi and she said, “Thank you,” brightly and I headed out.

So thanks for your prayers for the ministry and evangelism today God truly blessed.

In Him,

Bob
