Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

I hope your day was blessed as mine was and you walked by God’s Spirit.  I had a good day on campus and Katie and Edwardo prayed with me to receive Christ.  I parked in the front of the school just to change it up and walked in on the second floor today.  Talked to a couple peeps, a guy I know and a lost guy who couldn’t even answer the questions I usually ask existentially.  So I went through the Gospel with him, left, and then found Katie sitting alone around the corner about to take a laptop out of her pack.  She said she’d answer some questions, and part way in she admitted she wasn’t a student at COD but at St Mary’s attached to Notre Dame.  She was just on a spring break and waiting for her brother to get out of class.  This was really fortuitous for her as she got to hear the Gospel and come to Christ.  She said she was raised “Secular” and that her parents were Catholic but had not taken them to Church.  But she had begun to attend Mass at school and was thinking about going through the catechism process of the Catholic Church.  She was hoping in her own goodness to go to Heaven but had little sense that she would go there.  I began teaching her the Gospel and explaining a more biblical view of Salvation, taking her through some issues I thought she might encounter.  In the end she said she wanted to be forgiven and prayed to receive Christ and have God’s spirit live inside her.  I talked her through some Bible verses and on the Holy Spirit’s work and depending upon Him.  She was very receptive and friendly and she picked out The Case for a Creator to read.  I also gave her a Bible study on Christ’s claims to be God in the New Testament and encouraged her to email me with any questions she might have. So that was really great.

Later I was talking to a girl who described herself as Spiritual and had no real interest in genuinely Spiritual things when Edwardo walked up and asked me, “Hey you know Dilette (rhymes with gillette razors) right?”  I remembered a girl who had come to Christ last year named Delete and she has decided to call herself by more than one pronunciation of her name.  I see her a lot in the hall and Edwardo said he had some questions about his life so she sent him to me.  I asked him if he would wait 5 minutes in the chairs about 15 yards down the hall.  I finished up the Gospel with the girl I’d been speaking too and then we talked.  I explained the Gospel to him and the meaning and purpose in life through God living inside us and having a greater purpose for life’s events than we can often understand.  He had been to catholic church some as a kid, so I explained the story of Jesus paying for his sins and giving him His imputed righteousness.  I asked, “Does the story of Jesus and what He has done for you on the Cross resonate with you?”  He said it did and so I asked him if he believed Jesus had died for his sins and he said he did.  So I showed him some Bible verses and asked him if he would like to pray to receive Jesus and be forgiven.  He said, “Yes” and did so, so that was awesome.  I gave him a copy of the interactive DVD I have that answers 50 questions about the faith and Christ. And he was really happy.

So thanks for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism today if you had a chance.  Please pray Katie and Edwardo would grow in faith.

In Him,

Bob Bollow
