Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
I hope you had a good day walking with the Lord today.  I had a good day on campus inasmuch as two students prayed to receive Jesus, Maribel and Rob.  Maribel seemed to have come from a Catholic background, Rob went to church but didn’t have any specifics of faith down theologically.  Maribel was sitting on the floor down one of the lateral hallways in the BIC just playing with her phone.  She said she would answer some questions.  She had long brown hair and was sitting with her knees up draped by her coat, cute kid.  But she said she had no idea what to say to God that might let her into Heaven.  She said, “That’s a really good question.  I’ve never thought about it b4.”She  thought about it some more and just said again, “I don’t know.”  Though she was pretty sure she’d go to Heaven and regularly went to church with her mom.  I said I could tell her the answer and went through the Gospel with her.  She was really receptive and interested and when I asked her if she would like to be forgiven she said she would.  So I walked her through the prayer and she asked if she could keep the booklet ( I said sure) and prayed to receive Christ.  She took a copy of the student edition of The Case for Faith.  I gave her a Bible study and explained the work of the Holy Spirit in her, to give her the strength when she asked, to live the Christian life.  I’m gonna email her a story.

Rob was right around the corner from there, sitting in some chairs.  He thought he deserved to go to Heaven, so probably he was pretty moral.  Though nowadays who knows, right?  Everyone thinks they’re good.  He has a bit darker complexion, short hair, athletic looking guy.  He’d gotten too busy to go to church of late.  Rob had absolutely no idea how God took away the sins of the world.  I began to explain the work of Christ to Him.  He was serious about it and listening.  After I went through the Gospel with him I asked him if he would want to be forgiven for his sins and have God live inside him and he did.  I said, ‘Well, this seems like it was new to you and you probably have never asked God forgive you for your sins based on what Jesus did for you on the Cross.”  He agreed he hadn’t, so I showed him a prayer where he could receive the forgiveness of God and he prayed to receive Christ.  I also explained the work of the Holy Spirit through the fruit of the Spirit in him, and gave him a Bible Study and the book, Playing with Purpose as he’d played basketball in school. So that was great.

So thanks so much for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism today if you had a chance. God was with me and really blessed.

In Him,

Bob Bollow
