Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I hope you were blessed today walking in the Spirit. We had a great day at the book table. I got there about 7:45AM to pick up our advisors permission form and chat him up . He’s been our advisor for 11 years at school, great Christian guy. Then I went home to get the stuff we’d packed and Ellen and we went back and got a table. We thought we were not in the best spot, but the Lord led quite a few people over to sign up for the study that had the day and time open [Tuesdays noon – 1 PM]. And because we were in the middle of the lounge looking at the seating in the center, two black girls Aja and Shaya (as it turns out) were sitting right in front of us off to the left a bit. Aja was a bit bigger girl curly hair and Shaya was smaller wearing tights and had stick straight hair, cute. I asked them if they were interested in Bible study and Shaya held up a Bible and said she’d got one. Another group gives out their translation of the Bible @ school. The lounge is the size of a small gym and the ceiling goes up about 3 and a half stories, so it wasn’t too hard to have space. But after a while I thought I should go over and go through the Gospel with them and see if they were believers. So I said a prayer for help and guidance and walked over and started talking to them. Shaya knew Jesus had died to take away sins and Aja {pronounced Asia} didn’t even know that, and Shaya was surprised when I said she was right. I went through the Gospel with them and they both said they wanted to be forgiven for their sins. I asked them if they had ever had a chance to ask God to forgive them for their sins based on what Jesus had done for them, and both of them said no . I walked them through the prayer and they were both eager to pray it. They came over to the table and picked out some books to read. I later brought them each a mini squirt-gun we were giving away. I got their e-mails, so I will send them a story and gave them Bible Studies too. We were talking about 15 or 20 feet from where we pull chairs together to have the Bible Study, so hopefully they will come.
So thanks so much for your prayers for the ministry and for the book table and our work today if you had a moment. God really blessed and I was able to go through the Gospel with several people.
In Him,
Bob Bollow
