Hey Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Well, I hope you were blessed today by the Lord.  We went and got lunch with one of our friends and then I headed off to school to give Study Bibles to two of the girls who have trusted Christ, (one this year and one a couple years back) and show them a bit how they can use them.  They really liked their new Bibles and I chatted them up a bit and then went off to talk to some peeps and Magali prayed to receive Christ. ( http://www.pronouncenames.com/pronounce/magali )  She was cute when she smiled and she did a bit after awhile.  She has straight brown hair, a Latino Catholic girl.  She has a broad nose and was wearing a sweatshirt.  No make-up on at all,  she was just chilling watching something on her tablet but said she’d take a minute to talk.  When I asked her what she would say to God if He asked her why He should let her into Heaven she took a while to answer and said, “I don’t know, I’m stuck,” and kept thinking.  So I asked her about church and what she thought her church might say.  She said, “It depends.” “What do you think?” I ask and she said, “…From what I think, I think I should be allowed to go in.”  She said she hadn’t gone to church since summer but was raised catholic.  I walked her through the Gospel and got her to smile a few times.  She seemed to know that it was Christ’s death that had taken away sin but had not trusted in this personally.  She said she would want to be forgiven when I finished going through the Gospel so I asked, “Do you believe that Jesus is God and that He died and rose from the dead to take away your sin?” “I do,” she replied.  So I asked, “Would you be willing to trust in what Jesus has done to make you right with God?”  “I would,” she answered.  So I explained she could pray and begin to have a relationship with God based on that forgiveness.  I walked her through the prayer and she decided she wanted to pray to have God live inside her and forgive her.  I explained the Christian life to her through the Spirit.  That if she went back to her church, during the mass, to remember that she was forgiven by His Body, broken for her, symbolized in the wafer and His Blood, shed for her, symbolized in the wine and be thankful.  She took the Student Edition of The Case for Christ to read and a Bible study.  I went back to give her a Bible but she had already left.  So I will look for her again, as I have her email.

So thanks for your prayers for the ministry and evangelism today if you had a chance.  God really blessed with some good conversations.

In Him,
Bob Bollow
