Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
I hope you felt the presence of the Lord in your life today. I had a good day of sharing and Adrian committed his life to Christ and Lorn prayed to receive Him. They were both sitting on a couch in the Mac arts building and Lorn really wanted to talk to me more than Adrian, but she asked him if he would answer some questions and he agreed. He was kind of multi-tasking and doing math homework and I think he caught enough of the Gospel to follow. Adrian is Asian. He looked like he was from the Philippine Islands, short, glasses, mop-cut hair. Lorn was a white girl, long brown hair, attractive. Both of them went to church. Adrian used to go every Sunday and now was going every other week and Lorn went with her Grandma to a Catholic Church. Her grandma went to a different church when she did not go. She was interested in spiritual things and tuned right in and Adrian’s attentions seemed divided. But that took the attention off of Lorn, so when I came to the end to offer her the Gospel she wanted to pray to be forgiven saying, “There’s probably things I need to be forgiven for…” When she finished, I talked to Adrian who finally was back with us. I had asked them if they had really grasped what I had said to them before I came along and they’d said no. I asked him if when he prayed to be forgiven he thought more he was a good person and God was good and would forgive him, or if he had been trusting in what Jesus had done for him. He said, “I thought that I was a good person.” So I explained to him that he needed to trust in what Jesus had done. I asked him, “Do you believe Jesus is God and that He had died for you on the Cross and rose again to make you right with God?” He said “I do.” I told him, “The Bible says if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart God raised Him from the Dead you will be saved. So the prayer is more for you so you will know what you have said to God.” I suggested he could pray it later. And he seemed to want to pray later, so I gave him the booklet and each a Bible study, telling them about the Fruit of the Holy Spirit as the means by which we live the Christian Life. Lorn also took the Q & A video, “Jesus Fact of Fiction” and asked if I could give her a Bible another day when her pack was not so heavy. I only had one video, but Adrian said he’d like one, so I said I would look for them again to give him one. Lorn thanked me and Adrian told me to have a nice day. So I will be praying for them and look for them Thursday in the Lounge in the hopes they have a similar schedule.
So thanks for your prayers for the Ministry and for evangelism today if you had a chance. God worked and I had a couple other conversations where good seeds were planted.
In Him,
Bob Bollow
