Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
Wasup?  Hope ya had a good day.  It was sunny today in Chicago, in the 40’s, and tonight we are supposed to get a snow storm, ha. But my buddy Tim plows snow, so all good for him.   And as for me I had a good day sharing the faith with peeps.  Marco and Shonika prayed to receive Christ as their Savior.

Marco was on a couch at the base of the stairs, just waiting to go to class.  He is a 6’4″ Mexican guy with fair skin, and Clark Kent glasses and kind of looked like him.  So hey, broke every stereotype, right?  He is from a Roman Catholic background and does not go to Church often but said he prayed.  He was friendly and interested and listened to the Gospel.  He wanted to be forgiven, and after hearing the Gospel, having never prayed to receive Christ, he did.  I had some time to explain the Holy Spirit to him and then he had to run to class, but he took a copy of The Case for a Creator with him to read and thanked me.  Please pray that the faith really takes root in him.  I encouraged him to look for a church and told him I would pray for him.

Shonika, a black student, was sitting at a table hours later. I was about to head home as it was after 3 and the school empties out, but she seemed like she had time to kill and she was up for doing a student survey about God.  She was really friendly, 5″4′ and “good at every sport” and a gifted musician.  Cute kid, straight hair pulled back into a tie.  She listened to the Gospel attentively and had heard it before, but had not been trusting in Christ to forgive her sins but was more hoping God was magnanimous.  She wanted to be forgiven for her sins based on what Jesus had done for her though, so she prayed to receive Christ.  She was thankful and took The Case for Faith to read and a Bible study, and thought she might be able to come to our Bible study. I  got her e-mail to remind her, so please pray she will come and grow.

I had some other good conversations explaining the Gospel and had a fun day, so thanks so much for your prayers for the ministry and for Evangelism today if you had a chance.  And please say a prayer for Marco and Shonika that they might grow stronger in faith in Christ.

In Him,
Bob Bollow
