Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
I hope your day was blessed.   I had a good day sharing the Gospel with the peeps on campus and two students from Roman Catholic backgrounds, Megan and Kirk, prayed to receive Jesus.   Megan had an orange top on and shorts, cute kid with brown hair and an occasional freckle.   She was sitting in the Cafeteria and told me she had already done a survey.  So I asked her if they had asked her this question: “You’re walking down the road and you get hit by a bus, so you’re dead and you stand before God and He says why should I let you into heaven, what would you say?”  “I don’t know,” she replied.  I asked her if she’d like to know the answer and she said she would, so I began to explain the Gospel to her.   After a bit, I got out a booklet so she could have a copy of some of the verses I was telling her.  She stopped me about then and said, “Wait, what did you say your name was?”   “Bob” I said.   “I thought so,” she replied.   “That was my Grandpa’s name.”   I asked if he was still alive and she said he wasn’t ,but he was very religious and there had been some strange things happening and it was scary.   “Scary in a good way, right?”  I asked.   “Yeah,” she said back, “Like God is doing something.”   It turned out that a man who had really meant a lot to her had died and his wife had brought over his Bible for her.  Her sister had gotten cancer and Make a Wish was going to send them all to Hawaii, but it looked like she would recover from her colon cancer operation that had removed some of her intestine.  She felt like my explaining the Gospel to her was part of a series of events, and after I had finished going through the Gospel with her she prayed to receive Christ.   She took a copy of a Bible study on why you should read the Bible and More than a Carpenter to read.   I got her email to send her more stuff and she was happy and took off for class.

I had a few more discussions today with some Christians, teaching them about the Atonement and showing them how to use the booklet to share their faith and helping them with assurance.   As I walked out, I passed one last lounge at the stairs to go down and out from the 2nd floor of the SW corner of the Science Building.   I was tired, and the guy in there was on his computer (I don’t bother kids who are occupied or studying as a rule.  I figure God can keep them idle, make them look up at me or make some kind of eye contact).   I had one foot in the doorway but felt prompted to see if he would talk, so I went in and interrupted him as he looked up.   Kirk asked how long it would take and I said “7 minutes or so”, but it took longer.   He is Filipino, has a couple of big freckles on his nose, dark hair and was wearing plaid shorts and a blue t-shirt.   Really nice guy.   When I asked what he would say to God to get into Heaven he said, “Because I always do what you ask, like going to church and stuff.”   But he thought he only had about a 60% chance to get there.   He was interested to hear the Gospel though, and sober about it as I talked him through it.   When I explained imputation and that he did not go to Heaven because he was good but because Jesus was good, he gave kind of a quiet exclamation like he was getting it.   He hadn’t been trusting in what Christ had done for him on the Cross and prayed to receive Christ.   It was obvious he really had taken in the Good News about Christ.   He was into science and so I gave him a copy of The Case for a Creator.  I also gave him a Bible study on the Deity of Christ in Scripture and he gave me his email too so I can send him some stuff.

So thanks so much for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism today if you had a chance.  God blessed.

Blessings in Christ,

Bob
