Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
I hope you had a blessed day.  God was with me today and I could sense He guided me by His Spirit.  Two guys prayed to receive Christ today, Teddy and Misael.

Teddy was sitting reading the mythic book series about the “Lightening Thief” if you have heard of that one.  He said he’d read it 7 times — so he didn’t mind being interrupted to do a survey.  He’s a black guy about 5’8″, black and brown Afro.  Cheerful, he runs track and seems to kind of keep to himself, good sense of humor though.  He was sitting on a couch by the student activities office on the ground floor of the SSC building beneath where we have Bible study.  He’d been baptized, but he hadn’t known what it meant, as he had never in as many words asked God to forgive him of his sins based on what Jesus had done for him on the Cross. And he wasn’t really sure why he’d go to Heaven or not.  Evidenced of what he had been relying on was in that, when I asked him how likely it was he would go to heaven when he died, he said 60% explaining he hadn’t been to church in a while.  He really tracked with the Gospel though and believed.  He wanted to be forgiven and prayed to receive Jesus.  He wasn’t much of a reader but I got his e-mail and gave him a Bible study.  He thought he might come to the study on Tuesdays this year, so that was great.

Misael is a Roman Catholic guy.  Dark, close-cropped hair, with a few moles here and there.  He seemed really serious when we went through the Gospel. He was a “math geek” and seemed like a nice guy.  He said he wasn’t, “a big sinner.”  And he went to church but he hadn’t really understood the Gospel.  When I asked him if he had ever asked God to forgive him of his sins based on what Jesus had done for him on the Cross he just shook his head “no”.  So I explained the prayer to him where he could receive God’s forgiveness and asked him if he’d like to pray it “like I wasn’t there” and he shook his head “yes”.  So I handed him the booklet and he prayed to receive Jesus.  I explained the Holy Spirit to him as I always do, and he said he wasn’t “much of a reader” when I offered him a book.  But I did give him a Bible Study on the Deity of Christ to read through, got his e-mail to send him a story, and said I would pray for him.  He asked me my name again and I told him and said I would pray for him and he said, “Thanks Bob.”

So hey pretty great day.  Only one other person I talked to wasn’t a Christian already.  I encouraged a couple of them in the faith and went through the Gospel with them anyway encouraging them to tell someone else..

We’d be grateful for your prayers for the Clubs and Activities day tomorrow to be sure we get a table to give out books and share the faith a bit and to help get the Bible study goin’.

Thanks for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism today if you got the chance.  God really blessed today and I’m truly grateful for your help.

In Him,
Bob Bollow
