Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Well, I neglected to seek prayers today for Evangelism.  It was the first day back at school.  I had other stuff to do too once at school, like get officers lined up for our club and flyers hung up for the Bible study.  I talked to one atheist and the rest were believers and that was that for the day.  But one of my peeps Adam is taking Japanese there this year and we were hanging and I brought him back to school just b4 5 PM.  So I decided to roll around a bit as he went off to class.  I found Berto ( Nice looking guy Latino, oxford cloth blue & white striped shirt, blue shorts) sitting facing the doors on the second floor of the BIC building.  When I asked him why God should let him into Heaven he said, “I have no idea.”  He didn’t know how God took away His sin either, but took a guess saying “forgiveness?”  So I said, “Well, yes, He forgives you but the way he does that is through Jesus.”  I explained that, “the “Blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin [1John 1:7].  The reason for that is like you know when you are a kid and someone does something really cruel to you and it’s like it kills you a little bit?” He said he did. I said, “Well when we sin we create death in the world, kill people a little.  Jesus is God, so He is the source of all life and when He gives His life, (life is in the blood Lev. 17:11) it restores life to all the places we created death.  And Jesus dies in your place because you were under the penalty of death for not living a perfect life” (I’d already explained that part earlier to him.)  Then I quoted Romans 5:8 to him.  After I went through rest of the Gospel with Berto, I showed him a prayer he could pray and encouraged him pray and he did.  He was really genuine and believed and you could see it in him.  It was great.  He went regularly to a church in Oakbrook and thought he might come to Bible study.  I got his e-mail to send him more things and gave him a Bible study.

So thanks for your prayers for the ministry.  Please pray that Berto would grow and maybe  come to Bible study, along with some of the peeps at school.
Blessings,
Bob Bollow
