Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
Hope ya had a good day. We had some students at Bible study and then I walked around telling peeps about Jesus. Diamon, a black girl, and Monsi, a Latina girl, prayed to receive Christ today.
Diamon was sitting on one of the couches down from the book store waiting for a bus. Tall, straight hair pulled back into a hair band all bundled up in a puffy coat. She thought of herself as a child of God. I asked her some questions and went through the Gospel. I asked her if she knew how God took away her sins. She wasn’t sure, so I said, “What’s the big thing Jesus does to take away the sins of the world?” She said she couldn’t remember, but after talking her through the Gospel it was obvious she had never heard it before. She wanted to be forgiven and prayed to receive Jesus as her savior. I began talking to her about the Holy Spirit and she asked me to walk with her to watch for the bus and then it came pretty quick. So I gave her a copy of Enjoying Your Walk With God and a Bible study as she ran out and she thanked me.
Monsi is Roman Catholic. She was a nice, friendly, pretty, brown hair girl. She said her Grandma had named her after an Island in Spain that sounded pretty: Monserrat. (I googled it and it is a pretty island). She had been trusting in being religious to make her right with God. Though she knew Jesus had died to take away her sins, she was not trusting in Him and His work on the Cross but that God was forgiving and she was religious. But she openly received the Gospel and prayed with me. She wanted to read The Case for Christ and I gave her it and a Bible study to read. She gave me her e-mail to send her some stuff as well, and I told her I would pray for her, so that was great.
I had some other good conversations with some who were close to believing and gave them some books today too. The day went well. So thanks for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism today if you had a moment. I’m grateful for the help.
In Him,
Bob Bollow
