Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
Well, I had a pretty good day of sharing the faith today.  Alex prayed to receive Christ as His Savior. He is a black guy kind of a thin faced with a mustache and a goatee. Seemed like a smart suburban kid. He was sitting in a lounge by the financial aid windows killing time but he said he’d do a student survey for the Bible study group. I went through the Gospel with him and he knew with some prompting that God had taken his sins away by the work of Jesus on the cross. He said he did not go to church often but his parents watched Joe Osteen on TV a lot and he did too on Sundays. After I went through the gospel he said he wanted to be forgiven for his sins and so I asked him if he had ever asked God to forgive him of his sins based on what Jesus had done and he said , “Honestly no.” He wanted to so I walked him through a prayer in the booklet I was using and he prayed with me to receive Christ. I explained the work of the Holy Spirit to him in living the Christian life and encouraged him to read the Bible. He said he wasn’t much of a reader and turned down a book but I gave him a Bible Study on the Deity of Christ to read and told him he could fire me off an e-mail if he wanted some more stuff and he said he would.

The next two hours were spent in the lounge where we have Bible Study. A couple of Christian guys I have talked to b4 began asking me questions and I answered them one after the other from 2 PM until 4 PM. One of the guys Sean said after we had talked about the Holy Spirit a couple weeks back as the means by which we live the Christian life he had done as I had asked and listened at two Churches he had attended for any mention of the Holy Spirit’s power to do as the sermon instructed. One of the Churches was Christ Church in Oak Brook. He said they had made no mention of the Holy Spirit. That was the beginning of quite a few questions on the Bible and he learned a lot and was grateful so that was a good use of time today.

Thanks for your prayers today for the ministry or for evangelism if you had a moment. The Spirit led me today.

In Him,
Bob Bollow
