Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Well, I hope your weekend has been blessed and filled with love.  I had a good day of sharing the faith on Friday and Karli received Christ as her Savior.  She was sitting at the entrance of the underground hallway that leads out of the BIC building over to the MAC and I was a few steps down the hallway when I felt like I should go back and try to talk with her.  She’s a cute kind of pretty kid, light brown hair and blue eyes, sharp features wearing no make-up, a gymnast.  She had been to church in her neighborhood before but not since she was younger.  I wasn’t sure  how interested she’d be in the Gospel, somehow she seemed to put off.  Something of an air of self determination.  But I could tell as I talked about sin and God living inside her by taking it away through Jesus and giving her His righteousness, that she was very attentive and looked right at me.  She followed closely what I explained, listening to the Word of God.  And the Word had its effect on the elect.  As in it is written in Isaiah 55:11 “So shall My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.” And Karli wanted to be forgiven, saying she believed Jesus was God and had died for her when I asked her and she prayed to receive Christ after I walked her through the prayer.  I explained the work of the Holy Spirit to her and I asked her if she wanted a book.  I gave her a pocket Bible and I explained the different books I had and she was taking a criminal justice class and was interested in the format of The Case for Faith and the evidential way Strobel writes the book. So I gave her that and got her email to send her some stuff.

I also had a great conversation with Nick and Jeanna [Gina] brother and sister. They were raised in the Church but had become cynical about the Bible and what was true. For about half an hour I told them a lot of apologetic ideas. Some of the Gospel began to register with them.  Nick took an apologetic DVD “Jesus:Truth or Fiction” and His sister Jeanna took The Case for a Creator. I felt hopeful some good seeds were planted.

So thanks for your prayers for the Ministry and for Evangelism at College of DuPage.  73 students have prayed to receive Jesus so far this school year and God has blessed the work.
In Him,
Bob Bollow
