Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
I hope you had a good day walking with the Lord.  I had a great day on campus as I got to go through the Gospel with two students I had been praying for and Maria prayed to receive Christ.  She has long brown hair, kind of teased-out looking (bit of a bad hair day maybe) and an oval face, nice looking girl.  Maria is Roman Catholic in background and was sitting in a 1st floor lounge in the BIC building.  She said she had already done a survey for a Christian Bible study group.  Campus Crusade, now called Cru, does spiritual interest surveys with students and never tells them the Gospel.  They had a table up like us at the Activity Fair and so I have encountered quite a few students who say they have already done a survey.  With Maria I tried to work around it and asked her what she would say if God asked her why He should let her into Heaven.  She appealed to her good works, so I went through the Gospel with her and she wanted to be forgiven and trust in Christ’s work.  I told her she could pray silently and she said “lets pray together.”  So I prayed it with her, she read really fast.  I gave her a bible study and More than a Carpenter to read and she had to run to class.  But I did get to explain the work of the Holy Spirit in her and give her a remembrance view of the Mass as Jesus said when he first celebrated the last supper.  I told her I would be praying for her.

I had a good conversation with Delvon, a nice looking black guy with an afro, wearing sweats and sitting on the floor in front of the entrance to the art building tunnel.  After I had gone through the Gospel with him he said, “Well, you’ve opened the door. Let me think about this.”  I asked him to email me if he decided to pray.  He seemed interested, but I have said that to a lot of guys, promising to pray for them if they would.  But only one ever has.  I usually end up praying for them anyway if they seem on the cusp of giving their life to Christ.  So I’ll be praying for him, hoping Satan will not steal the seed.  Also, I got to go through the Gospel with Victoria and Mike, who Ellen and I pray for and I see often at school.  Victoria has a couple of Christian friends, so that gives me hope.

Thanks for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism today if you had a chance.  It was a good day.

In Him,

Bob Bollow
