Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
I hope your day was blessed resting in the power of His Resurrection. I had a good day on campus teaching a small group Bible study with a few guys. No one prayed with me today but Kassim told me he had prayed to receive Christ over the break. Please pray he continues to grow in faith. I first went through the Gospel with him August 25th but I touched base with him pretty regularly chatting him up. He often sat in the hall near the bookstore. He is African American and has fair skin, slight features and kind of a curly afro, a mustache and a beard under his chin, good looking guy. When I first 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?” He said, “Um, I think I would say, “Of course I did a lot of sin in my life but I tried to find you the best way I could.” I asked him what the likelihood he would get into heaven and he said, “Not likely.” When I talked him up other times he was struggling with the lies he was told in his religious studies class so I talked him through some of them. Today he was cheerful and I gave him Bible Promises for You writing his name and “Forgiven” in the front and The Case for Christ Answer Booklet I also gave him a Bible Study on the deity of Christ. So it was great to see he had decided to believe in Jesus and had prayed to receive Christ as I had periodically been praying for him. I told him I’d be praying for him each day.
So thanks for your prayers for the ministry and evangelism today if you had the thought. God truly blessed though there were few people to talk to today.
In Him,
Bob
