Results of the Work – 11/7/13

Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I hope your day was blessed.  I had a good day sharing the faith with some of the peeps and Kyanna prayed to receive Christ.  She had a hat on when I saw her in the hallway.  Dark complexion, African American girl, pretty bright smile.  She was attending three different churches off and on. One was near her grandmother in the city.  She had some of the language of faith saying, “I kept my faith in Him,” though she had no real assurance of salvation.  She thought she had about a 60% chance of going to Heaven.  I asked her “What is the big thing that God did, that Jesus did to take away the sins of the world?”  She thought for a moment and then said, “I don’t know.”  So I explained the Gospel to her (tucking the booklet away as a security person walked by) and she said, “Wow” twice in the middle of my explaining how Jesus took her sin and restored life to the world and that His righteousness was to her credit.  I asked if she would like to be forgiven and she said she would, so I explained how she could ask to receive forgiveness and walked her through the prayer she could pray and she prayed to receive Christ.  I got her email and gave her More than a Carpenter to read.  I explained the work of the Holy Spirit in the Christian life.

I had a great conversation with Joel, a Latino Roman Catholic guy.  He went to church every week and seemed to be trying to please God, but had guilt.  Short hair, side burns, thin build, medium height, who said he would pray to commit his life to Christ later but it was difficult to tell if he had believed on Christ or had been kind of half-trusting in Christ and half hoping in his works.  But he said he had committed some big sins.  I talked him through the Gospel and the Christian life, and he wanted to pray at home but committed to Jesus and belief in Him to be made right with God.  I gave him Enjoying Your Walk with Christ and he was really happy.  Got his email.

So thanks for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism today if you had a chance, God blessed.

In Him,

Bob Bollow
