Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
I hope you had a blessed day . I had a good day on campus.  Met for lunch and to chat with one of our peeps, Michelle, who is a real sweetheart, and two students came to Christ.

Christine was sitting on the floor in the science building. Blonde straight hair, maybe 5’5”, no makeup. Quiet hard working kind of girl, very reserved, though I got her to laugh a couple times. She had come once to a Bible study a year ago though I was hard pressed to remember her.  But she remembered me and did a student survey with me.  She thought she would go to Heaven because she was “An all around good person and had never maliciously hurt anyone.” So good works basically.  She went to Calvary, a large church out on Rt. 59 west of our house.  The Gospel seemed novel to her, however, as I went through it .When I asked her if she had ever asked to be forgiven based on what Jesus had done she said she hadn’t.  I read through the prayer with her and read the little line, “Is this the desire of your heart?”  She said it was and she said she would like to pray later.  So I asked her, “do you trust in what Jesus has done for you on the cross to make you right with God?”  She said, “Yes.” And I said, “Well, that is all that matters then right?” and she got a big smile on her face.  So hopefully she will come to Bible study again.

Sae was sitting in a lounge bench on the hall on the first floor beneath where Starbucks is on the second floor.  She’s African American, really matter of fact.  Large loosely curled hair and a long face with kind of straight features.  I had a hard time getting her to react much or crack a smile.  She had described herself in three words (one of the survey questions) as shy sweet and resentful.  She did seem a bit glum.  She had no assurance of Salvation but she went to church.  She knew some bible facts and interjected them here and there and I was a bit surprised, as Christianized as she seemed, that when I asked her if she had ever asked to be forgiven based on what Jesus had done for her she just flatly said, “No.”  So I walked her through the prayer and asked her if she would like to be forgiven and she said she would and I said something like, “Well, you could pray right now and ask for forgiveness, like I am not even here, quietly in your mind.  God is like a girl, He likes to be asked.”  She agreed to pray and I looked down as she did and when she was done she said, “Ok.” And she seemed to brighten.  She said she actually had all the books I was offering her but she took a Bible study and I said we’d have a book table up next week on Wed and she could look and see if I had any books she might want.  She smiled at that and I could tell she was different.  So hopefully we’ll connect again, I told her I would be praying for her.

So thanks so much for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism if you had a chance today.  The Lord was with me and guided me.

In Him,
