Hey Brothers and Sisters n Christ,
I hope your day was blessed and you felt the nearness of the Lord. I had a good day on campus. Got some good seeds planted giving away some books and Samantha and Angelica prayed to receive Christ. Samantha was sitting looking out the window by the Book Store just killing time. She said she’d answer some questions about God. She is a pretty girl, long brown straight hair. She went to a roman catholic church around the corner from her. She had no assurance of salvation, however, and had never thought about why she might go to Heaven much if at all. But I could tell she was a really nice person. She’s the first girl I’ve met that actually went skydiving. But she was interested in the Gospel and had a Bible at home. She did not know how her sins were forgiven. Her friend walked up and heard about half of the Gospel as she waited for Samantha. After I went through some bible verses with her, when I asked, she said she wanted God to live inside her and be forgiven. I showed her a prayer and explained it to her and said she could pray it in her head as if I wasn’t there. She did and I gave her a bible study and got her e-mail to send her stuff. I offered her friend a booklet and she took it saying, “Yeah. I heard about half of what you said.” I told her if she had any questions she could ask Samantha. So that was great.
Angelica was sitting by one of the second floor exits facing south. She looked a bit like Selena Gomez in this picture.
I did not mention this however, as the person pictured went out with Justin Bieber so it might be an insult. She was playing with her phone a lot but answered questions and listened to the Gospel. I was a bit surprised she wanted to pray to be forgiven at the end. I have kind of learned my perception of how much people are taking in is not perfectly on target. But she did pray with me and took a Bible and a Bible study. She had gone to church when she was younger and gave me her email to send her some stuff once in a while. So I’ll be praying that an understanding of the Gospel grows in her and really takes root. If people are at all hesitant I encourage them to pray about it and wait. She wasn’t though, it was just hard to sense she was into what I was saying until the end. She was a nice kid.
So thanks for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism today if you had a moment. I know through the Spirit and prayer the Lord works. My class begins next Tuesday.
In Him,
Bob Bollow
