Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

Well, I hope you were blessed today walking with the Lord by His Spirit.  I had a good day.  Markus and Mark prayed to receive Christ. It felt like it took a long time to get going.  No one wanted to talk to me for the first hour it seemed like, but I kept praying and walking and eventually I saw Markus sitting at a table just west of the sky bridge connecting the SRC building to the Science Building.  He agreed to do a survey.  He is a big 6’3″ good looking black guy, plays Basketball and Football at COD.  He had been to church a little but had not heard the story of the Gospel of Jesus.  But he tuned in and he believed and prayed to receive Christ and truly trusted Him.  I explained the work of the Spirit to him and he said he had 3 Bible Apps on his iPhone, so I encouraged him to read in the book of John.  He had never been out of the state but he will get to Heaven one day.  I gave him a Bible study and he took More than a Carpenter to read.  I got his e-mail to send him stuff.

Mark was sitting at the counter looking outside, about to eat lunch in the cafeteria.  I said “hey” and kept walking past him.  I was a little tired and I had asked around the room, been turned down a lot already and figured I’d head out to another building.  Then I felt like I was supposed to go back and talk to him.  It feels awkward to walk back across the room to someone, but hey he agreed to talk. He was a white kid with wavy brown hair wearing a jersey of a team I did not recognize.  He is Roman Catholic and knew Jesus had died for sin but had never even thought about it relative to himself or asking to be forgiven by God.  He had simply thought God was forgiving.  After going through the Gospel with him, he prayed to receive Christ as well.  I offered him a Bible but he said he had several, but took a bible study on the Deity of Christ.  He did not want a Christian book saying, “I’ll just read the Bible.”  So that was great.

So thanks for your prayers for the ministry of evangelism at COD and for today’s work if you had a chance. God was with me today.

In Him,

Bob Bollow
