Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

Hope your life is nifty and you enjoyed the day with the Spirit of Jesus.  I had a good day on campus talking with the peeps, and Jake prayed with me to receive Christ.  Jake was the last person I talked to today before heading home to write the Bible study we did tonight.  He was a Roman Catholic guy wearing brown cargo shorts and a gray hoodie.  He had glasses on and a conservative haircut, light brown hair.  He was a nice, kind guy.  He and his family are from Poland, but he was too young when living there to have seen much of Europe and thought he would like to go back.  He was sitting in the SW corner lounge of the Science building, on his phone with a lap top open and said he’d talk.  When I asked what he would say to God if he’d died and God asked him why He should let him into Heaven he said, “Give me a second, this is like big…”  He took a while and then said, “I go to church every Sunday, and I give an hour or more each week, go with my family.  I know I’ve done bad things, not horrible things like killing someone.  I deserve a chance.”  He was willing to listen to the Gospel then and as I talked him through stuff, I suggested that growing up in the Church he might not have thought about God on his own.  He realized that, though he knew Christ had died for sins, he had not trusted in His blood and righteousness to save him, but his own goodness.  He decided to pray to receive Christ and live with the Holy Spirit in him and did so as I silently waited for him to finish.  He took a copy of a Bible Study and More than a Carpenter to read.  I got his email to send him stuff.  I also gave him a Bible as his family had a couple (one in Polish) but he did not have his own.  I gave him a remembrance view of the mass:  To simply be thankful that his sins were forgiven remembering that Jesus had died for his sins.  I talked to him about the power of the Spirit and being transformed by God on the inside to live the Christian life.  He was thankful and happy and that was great to see.

I talked with Kelly outside today, a girl with long brown hair and jean shorts and a t-shirt and she was close to faith after hearing the Gospel.  Her cousin had recently committed her life to Christ and was going to a good church and she thought she would talk to her more about it.  Kelly took The Case for Christ to read, not being certain about Christ’s deity.  She hadn’t been to church in a long time.  Her dad had died in 2004 and we talked about that.  It seemed like a lot of bad things had happened in her life.  I tried to help her think about the way the world works and why bad things happen and how God might still use them to bring good.  We hit it off, so I will be praying for her and another guy Noah, who attends the Bible Church but had a hard time believing God would care about us.  He’d just had his wisdom teeth out and was a bit foggy from it, but he took a DVD with questions and answers on it and we talked a while.

Joi, a girl who prayed to receive Jesus last week, was in the Science lounge so I said hi and she thanked me for talking with her.  She said it had really “broadened my perspective on my life, thanks.”  She had talked with her mom about it and they’d decided to focus on one church and not go into the city [and they are at a good one] so that is good.

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

In Him,

Bob
