Results of the Work – 10/29/13

Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I had a good day of sharing today once I got some peeps to talk to me, took a while.  But Lily was very close to coming to Christ, a Hispanic formerly Catholic girl.  She wanted to pray at home but took a copy of the student edition of The Case for Faith.  And Kyra prayed with me to receive Christ.  I came upon her waiting for her ride by the revolving doors at the SRC building @ close to 3 PM.  The guy she was sharing a ride with came a while later, so we had some time to talk.  She is African American and goes to an Apostolic Church in the city.  She had kind of round features, bright eyes a warm smile, cute kid.  She said she would like to “adopt a kid” someday.  But she had no idea how God took away her sins and thought of herself as someone who helped people.  The Gospel seemed brand new to her.  But she tracked really well with me as I slowly walked her through some verses concerning what God had done for her through Christ’s blood on the Cross.  She was excited to pray to receive Christ.  When I asked her if she wanted a free book she exclaimed, “I get a book [too]!”  I showed her some books on faith and things but then asked her if she liked sports and she said she did, and in the end I gave her Playing with Purpose which has the testimony’s of some NBA players and she knew the guys on the cover so I think she was excited to read it. Then her ride showed up and they started out the door, so I handed her a Bible Study and encouraged her to email me and she said she would.

A kid got hassled by cops today in the lounge where we have Bible Study for no reason at all.  I’m sure some bureaucrat didn’t like the noise level.  It was reinforcement to stay out of there while doing evangelism.  One of the girls who came to the study, who is black, said they told her to keep any mention of God out of her emails in her other organization (The Social Club).  She said the president of the school told their club there should be no mention of God on campus.  So my suspicion that the president was the source of where the cops are coming from of late seems founded.

So thanks for your prayers keeping me safe and for leading by the Holy Spirit, the Lord worked today.

In Him,
