Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I hope you had a great day walking with Jesus.  I had a good day on campus and since it was nice out I tried to stay outside, stay out of view of my detractors.  I came across Nick on a bench outside the SRC building where peeps wait for the bus, sitting in the sun.  He was a big burley dude with a scrub beard and a plaid shirt.  Brown hair and glasses.  He looked like an offensive lineman, but it turned out he wanted to move to Nashville and try to make it in music.  He plays the mandolin.  We talked about that some and people I knew in Nashville or who had recorded there trying to make it.  I talked him through the Gospel and it turned out his family was lapsed Catholic.  His sister and brother had moved out when they got older and his folks had just kind of stopped going.  So he had as well.  He had no idea if he would go to Heaven, but after I explained the Gospel and what Christ had done for him, I took out a booklet and asked him if he wanted to forgiven for his sins and have Christ live inside him and he said he did.  I walked him through the prayer in it and he prayed with me to receive Christ.  I gave him a Bible Study and More Than a Carpenter to read and we talked some more about music.  I encouraged him to trust in the power of the Holy Spirit and to ask for God’s help and guidance in even his creative efforts with Music.  I talked to him about the song “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen. The lyric goes, “I heard there was a secret chord that David knew and it pleased the Lord”. David’s playing calmed the evil Spirit in Saul, so who knows.

So thanks for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism if you had a chance today. God led me to another one of His to come to know Him and be forgiven.
