Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ.
I had a good day of sharing the Gospel today and Josh came to Christ. He is an African American guy, plays sports at school, Cub fan,(so he knows how to suffer and that should help him in the Christian life.) Josh regularly went to church when he lived at home and thought he’d go to Heaven, though he had no idea why God would let him in. When I asked him how God took away his sins he didn’t have any idea. He tried, “Baptism.” I said, “That is symbolic of it — what is the big thing Jesus does that takes away the sin of the world?” He had nothing. He was sitting with Sam in the Cafeteria and when Josh said he’d do a survey Sam jumped in, but as I went through the Gospel Sam wasn’t interested and played with his phone a lot. But Josh tuned in and wanted to be forgiven and prayed to receive Christ. I messed with Sam about it some and did get their e-mails. I hope Sam turns someday and he is not the seed that falls on the rocks.
Thanks for your prayers for the ministry and today for evangelism if you got a chance. I had some other good conversations with Christians, so it was a pretty good day. But then it always is when someone believes. Please pray Josh grows.
In Him,
Bob Bollow
