Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I hope ya had a great day walking with the Lord.  I had a good day at school.  4 different students prayed with me to receive Christ; Laversa, Martin, Ana and Karen.  Laversa was sitting on a bench on the second floor of the BIC building and I asked her to answer some questions for the Bible Study group.  She’s black, straight hair pulled back tight on her head.  She seemed to have some Christian ideas in her background, she didn’t think she was bad enough to go to hell and tracked well with the Gospel, though she did not seem to remember Jesus took away sin if she ever knew it.  She was attending, at times, some kind of Mosque in the city but agreed with everything I slipped into the conversation against Islam and b4 I could explore the topic with her much she had to run to class.  She did pray to receive Jesus with me and I explained the work and fruit of the Holy Spirit. I gave her the book Enjoying your Walk With God to read and a Bible study on the Deity of Christ.

Martin goes to a Roman Catholic Church every Sunday, he said he is part Irish, had curly dark brown hair. He had a works righteousness idea of salvation, but was only about 70% sure he’d make it to heaven.  He was sitting in the Science building on the floor when we talked.  He wanted to have God live inside him and be forgiven when I asked him, after I went through the Gospel.  I explained a prayer he could pray to do that and after he’d prayed to receive Christ I gave him a Bible Study and The Case for a Creator to read. I got his e-mail to send him some stuff and he seemed happy.

Ana was in a lounge on the second floor of the BIC, just about to set up her laptop on a table, but said she would answer some questions.  She had long brown hair and was from Mexico, a dangerous part she said, and could not return at present to visit.  She had no accent though, nice looking, really sweet kid.  She went to a Roman Catholic Church also and said she prayed every night.  She was certain she would go to heaven, but I explained to her she would have to live a perfect life and she admitted she hadn’t.  After I explained the gospel to her she said she would want to be forgiven and have God live inside her, so I offered the prayer to her, explaining it, and said she could pray right then if she wanted too and she enthusiastically said, “Oh yeah!”  And she happily prayed to receive Christ.  She did not have a Bible, so I gave her one and a Bible study.  She said that people were coming to her door and giving her little booklets, which is probably a cult but I gave her the student edition of The Case for Christ.  Most cults deny he is God. I also gave her a Bible Study on the Deity of Christ and got her e-mail to send her stuff.

Karen was sitting across from the Bookstore.  She wore glasses and had brown hair, shy, nice.  She really seemed like a kind, sweet person.  She attended the Catholic Church too.  But she also did not know how God took away her sins.  In the case of all of these kids, I asked them if they had trusted in what Jesus had done for them on the Cross to make them right with God or if they felt like, “Well I am pretty good person and I am religious,” and were hoping in that for things to work out with God.  Karen agreed that had been where she was at, but wanted to be forgiven and have God live inside her with His Holy Spirit.  She prayed to receive Christ and I gave her a Bible study.  She did not have her own Bible and fortunately I’d had a chance to go to my locker and get another one to give her.  She did not want to read a book.  I explained the Holy Spirit to her and said I would pray for her and she earnestly thanked me twice as I left her.

So I was really blessed today and God worked, thanks for your prayers for the ministry and for Evangelism today if you had a chance, God was faithful and heard.

In Him,

Bob Bollow
