Results of the Work – 11/12/13

Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

I hope your day was a blessing from God, walking with Him.  I had a good day sharing the faith with some peeps.  Dylan prayed with me to receive Christ.  He had short, light-brown hair and a short growth of beard.  He was sitting in the cafeteria and I asked him if he wanted to answer some questions about God.  He said, “I’m really into God, I’ll do that.”  He then made sure the questions were endorsing God and not against Him and I said they were.  He had heard the Gospel and someone had been telling him some doctrine, but he seemed to be thinking he’d try his hardest and hoping he was forgiven.  He said he knew you could not just be good and get to Heaven.  So I went through the Gospel with him and asked him if he had been trusting in Christ and His death and on the Cross to make him right with God and forgive him.  He said he had thought about Christ and the cross b4.  So then I asked, “But you never really committed to it?” And he said, “No I haven’t.”  He’d only thought he had a 50/50 chance of going to Heaven.  But he did say he wanted to be forgiven, so I read the prayer in the middle of the booklet through with him and explained it and he said, mostly to himself, “Powerful stuff.”  And he prayed to receive Christ.  I explained the work of the Holy Spirit to him, encouraging him to go to church and gave him a Bible study and The Case for a Creator to read as he said he was interested in science but he believed God created the world.  I explained it would strengthen his faith to read the book.  He was really grateful and I asked him to email me and he said he would, and I left him to finish his french fries as he only had a few minutes left to make it to class.

I also got to go through the Gospel again with a guy Sam, who had been sitting with his friend Josh who had come to Christ last year.  I had been praying for him each night since last year, as I thought he was close.  He still did not commit to Christ but had been going to church pretty regularly with his Uncle.  So I felt like that was an answer to my prayers and I’ll keep praying for him.  We had a good Bible study today too so that was great.

So thanks so much for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism today if you had a chance.  I can assure you they are having an impact as I go about led by the Spirit.

In Him,

Bob Bollow
