Results of the Work – 4/9/13

Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

How’s the life walking in the Spirit?  Well, I got a parking ticket today foolishly (so I paid to park today) but the Lord blessed the work anyway, though I was a scofflaw.  Fortunately for me, perfect obedience is not required for God to use the gifts of the Spirit ’cause I’ve never been perfect a day in my life.  But the perfect obedience of Christ is imputed to me.  Ambrosia, an African American girl, prayed to receive Christ.  And I had a couple convicting conversations and at least one discipleship one too where the student was really appreciative to learn about walking by the Spirit.

Ambrosia, a cute, round girl with glasses, was sitting at a table with Shay, a girl who had prayed to receive Christ at the beginning of December.  I did not recognize Shay since she was backlit as a silhouette and her hair was straight up in a pony tail.  But as I asked them to do a survey, her face appeared on a different angle and I recalled to her talking to her in the cafeteria.  She had found a Church, so that was good news and an answer to my prayers for her.  Our familiarity got Ambrosia to do the survey and interestingly she described herself as having a “pure heart”.  She attended church some, but the Gospel was somewhat novel to her, as it had been to Shay last semester.  After I had explained the work of Christ to her, she wanted to be forgiven for her sins and have God live inside her by His Holy Spirit.  So she prayed to receive Christ.  So that was really great. I got both of their e-mails.  As it turned out Shay had not checked the one she gave me b4. So I sent them both some stuff.  Ambrosia wanted to read Enjoying Your Walk with God, or at least try to.  She did not seem to be much of a reader, but the chapters are easy and short.  I told them I would be praying for them both.

So thanks so much for your prayers for the ministry and for the work of evangelism today if you had a chance.  God really blessed.

In Him,
Bob Bollow
