Results of the Work – 2/25/14

Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Hope you day was blessed walking by faith.  I had a good day on campus, though we are having a hard time getting the Bible study off the ground.  But I have some leads to pursue from my student advisor for next week.  Chris prayed to receive Christ, a real out going African American guy who looked a bit like a young Eddie Murphy.  He was sitting over in the PE building and trying to get a girl across the room to share his Girl Scout cookies (thin mints) when I first walked in.  This, you have to admit, is not a bad pick-up as she did cross the room for a cookie.  After this escapade I walked over and he said he would answer some questions.  He went to church with friend once in a while and he tuned into the Gospel, a quick study, and believed everything I related to him about the work of Christ.  I asked him which kind of person he was, if he wanted to be forgiven or thought something else and he said,  “That one,” tapping on the circle with Jesus inside you.  I asked him, “Do You believe Jesus is God and trust that He had died for you and rose from the dead?”  He said he did.  I mentioned there was a prayer and turned the page and before I could say anymore he took it from me and read it through to himself. “Did you pray it?”  I asked and he said “No I read it.”  I said, “Well pray it if you believe it.”  And he did.  I gave him a Bible and the NBA book Playing with Purpose.  He ran track but liked other sports.  I gave him a Bible study too on being connected to God using several passages from the Bible and talking about the power of Scripture.  I told him I’d pray for him and he was really grateful.

Earlier a Lithuanian girl, Auguste, (A goose ta) seemed to believe, but took the booklet from me to pray later.  So I am not sure she was ready. Long brown hair, cute not thin at all. She took a Bible study to read too. Her grandparents were very “Religious” and her parents were not.  But she said she believed Jesus was God and had died for her sins ,so I will pray for her in the hopes it is a seed that will take root.  Christ was familiar to her and she remembered He had died on the Cross but I actually felt it was good she was going to think it through a bit more.

I had a good conversation with a Christian girl from India too, Rosin, and answered some of her questions for a while.  So the time was short but productive today.  Thanks so much for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism today if you had a chance and please pray that Chris would grow and Auguste would come in to Him.

Blessings in Him,

Bob Bollow
