Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
How was the start of your week? Hope you are walking in the Spirit and feeling blessed!  I had a great day of sharing today.  Two peeps prayed with me to receive Jesus, Kamera and Dontrel.

The first person I spoke with today, Kamera, was sitting with her niece and nephew who were smashed into a stroller made for one (they periodically argued while we talked).  She was sitting out on a bench waiting for the bus.  I guess she was babysitting.  She was a big person, not fat, just big and strong in stature for a woman.  Her stick-straight hair was in a bob cut and had several colors dyed through it, her complexion was scarred.  She’s African American.  Kamera thought she would go to Heaven because she was honest and said she believed. She was happy to talk with me and tuned right in, leaning closer to read the Bible verses I read to her.  She had not understood the Gospel, particularly imputation, and had not known how God took away the sins of the world [John 1:29].  Having explained the Gospel to her, she wanted to be forgiven and prayed to receive Christ.  I explained the work of the Holy Spirit in living the Christian life to her and offered her a free book.  She took a Bible Study from me and the book Enjoying Your Walk with God and I told her I would see her in heaven, so that was great.  I got her e-mail to send her some stuff.

Dontrel was sitting in the SSC lounge where we have Bible study and said he’d do a survey with me. He had an afro and a light beard.  Smallish guy for someone who played football.  He thought he would go to Heaven because he tried to do better each day.  He went to a church called Berean Baptist.  He knew Jesus died for our sins, and the Gospel seemed to come back to him to some point, but when I asked him if he had ever asked God to forgive him for his sins based on what Jesus had done or if he was trusting in that he said he really didn’t think so.  So he prayed to receive Jesus.  He didn’t read a lot he said but was into sports saying, “I’ll watch anything”.  He was really interested in the book I got to give out this year, Playing with Purpose.  It’s on the Christian testimony of several NBA players.  Unfortunately he had a class during our bible study, but I invited him to come if his class was ever cancelled. He took a Bible Study on the deity of Christ from me too and I got his e-mail to send him some things.

I had several other good conversations and one guy is going to e-mail me some questions about the Bible, another was struggling with doubts, no longer believing entirely, and he hadn’t understood the Gospel or been to church since January.  I gave him The Case for Faith and talked him through some stuff– so that was great,

Thanks for your prayers for Third Watch and for evangelism today if you had a moment. We are having a Bible Study start up tomorrow so please pray we’d get a solid turn out.  And if you wold please pray for Kamera and Dontrel that they might grow in the faith.

Blessings,

Bob Bollow
