Results of the Work – 3/6/2013

Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I hope you were blessed today and felt the presence of the Lord always with the children of God.  I had a good day of sharing, spending a half hour or so with Jen, a girl who prayed to receive Jesus last semester, teaching her.  Also, Manny prayed to receive Christ.

Manny was sitting on the couches on the ground floor and I came across him first thing today as I was headed towards the Book Store.  He took a moment hemming and hawing as to whether he wanted to talk.  Sometimes I just wait on that and see if God is drawing them.  He was, in Manny’s case.  It turned out he had just begun attending the Compass Church in Naperville the last few weeks.  It was formerly the Evangelical Free Church of Naperville.  I asked him if he knew the big thing Jesus had done to take away our sin and he said, “He took our punishment.”  So he knew the Gospel in some measure.  We connected really well, and after teaching him the Gospel I asked him if he had ever asked God to forgive his sins based on what Jesus had done for him on the Cross. “I’m working toward that,” he replied.  I said “Well would you like to ask God to forgive your sins right now?  If you would there is a prayer you can pray.”  I walked him through the prayer to receive forgiveness from Christ and thank God for the gift of eternal life and said, “So what do you think?”  “I love it,” he replied, and he prayed to receive Christ.  He took a copy of The Case for a Creator. I got his e-mail to send him some stuff so that was great and I think he is probably going to a pretty good church.

So thanks for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism today if you had a chance.  I’m grateful and God blessed.

In Him,
Bob Bollow
