Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

How was your Friday?  Hope you were blessed walking with Jesus.  I had a good day doing evangelism on campus and Jimena, a Latina girl, prayed to receive Christ and Cherise, an African American girl, committed to Christ.

Jimena was sitting on some couches against the wall just 20 feet down from the student activities window.  But it was late in the day so I thought I could get away with talking to her without the cops being called on me by bureaucrats who would be concerned with getting out the door for the weekend, and it worked out that way.  She had thick, brown hair, parted on the side and was small, pretty face, bright smile.  Her grandmother used to take her to church but her parents did not go so she had stopped going.  As to why God should let her into Heaven she said, “I’ve never done anything to hurt…” Then seemed to remember someone she’d hurt and changed to “I’ve never committed any crimes or done anything that wouldn’t let me into Heaven.”  She was interested to hear the Gospel though, and afterwards she believed in Jesus and said wanted to be forgiven with this smile on her face that kind of said, “What do I get,” like she had won a prize.  So I walked her through the prayer she could pray to ask for forgiveness and receive Him and she prayed to receive Christ. I gave her the Student Edition of The Case for Christ to read and a Bible study.

I felt compelled to go over to the PE building at the end of the day and found Cherise and Dreyloen [dry lin] sitting together (they were a couple).  He had a mustache and a small goatee and sharp, straight features, good looking guy.  Cherise had fuller features and had dyed her afro brown.  It was pulled back behind a hair band.  She was cute.  Dreyloen said, “She’ll do it,” volunteering Cherise to answer some questions about God.  He answered them too and professed Christ and knew he was “a sinner” and was trusting in Christ to save him.  But his correct answers to my questions did not change the things Cherise said.  When I asked her why God should let her into Heaven, ” she’d say, ‘I need a chance… and that I did all good things, not a lot of bad things.'”  So after she heard the Gospel she said she believed and wanted to be forgiven.  She hadn’t heard it before, but both of them had attended church.  She did not want to pray then though, possibly because her boyfriend was sitting right there who has said he was trusting in Jesus to forgive him.  I asked her if she believed in Jesus and she got a big smile on her face and said she did, so I am hopeful she received Him.  I gave Dreyloen Playing with Purpose and Cherise the Student Edition of The Case for Faith to read.  And that ended my Friday at school.

So thanks for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism yesterday if you had a chance. God blessed my time at school and I had several encouraging conversations with Christians too.

May God bless your weekend!

In Him,
