Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Hope ya had a great day walking in the Spirit.  It got sunny and warm here by the end of the day. On campus, a black guy, Torrance, prayed to receive Christ with me in the cafeteria.

It was cool to bump into Torrance, as one of my friends (a girl from the Philippines) Sychar, had introduced him to me last week so we had some rapport.  It turned out we had talked for about 40 minutes last year and I had given him a book.  Today we talked more about his personal life and how he had felt more connected with God while in Catholic School, but it turned out really he had simply felt more religious.  He talked about how he confessed his sins to a teacher who would pray with him, or friends in the hope they would learn from his mistakes, and mostly they didn’t want to hear much about it.  He did not really feel it had made him feel any more forgiven, but he tried to learn and wring some good out of his mistakes.  By and large it was his own attempt to get over things and “move on”.  After I had gone through the Gospel with him, I asked him I, when he prayed for forgiveness, if he was holding in his heart or even the back of his mind that God would forgive him because of what Jesus had done to forgive him on the cross, or if he was just thinking God would forgive him because he was not that bad of a guy.  He said it was the latter and said he really had not included God’s Holy Spirit or power in the process of trying to live a Christian life at all.  I asked him if he would want to be forgiven based on what Jesus had done for him on the Cross and he said he would, and we both bowed our heads and he prayed silently.  I gave him the book Enjoying Your Walk With God and a Bible study to read through.  I’m sure I will see him around to encourage him.

I saw some other peeps today and I gave away a couple other books to those who were searching or just finding faith.

So thanks for your prayers for the Ministry or for evangelism today.  God really blessed.

In Him,
Bob Bollow
