Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

I hope you had a great day walking with the Lord.  I had a god day on campus and Hany, an Egyptian Coptic guy, committed to Christ today.  Hany was sitting at a set of couches in the upstairs lounge of the PE building.  He is a slight small built guy with a British accent (where he said his family was from).  He had a conservative (Frankie Avalon as a boy) haircut, was a clean shaven, good-looking kid, dark complexion.  He said he would say to God, if asked why God should let him into Heaven, “I don’t deserve to go to Heaven, I’m imperfect like every other human.”  He said he had “no idea” how likely it was that he would go to Heaven and later said he would tell God, “I did my best.”  He did know Christ had died for sin, but he had not been trusting in it and asked me a few questions.  “I have read the Bible but I never get anything out of it” he said.  I explained the Holy Spirit did not live inside him since he had not truly received Christ, and that understanding the Bible was through the Spirit.  Unlike reading a physics or math book, one should pray for understanding from the Lord.  I explained that he needed to receive Christ and he said he wanted to be forgiven, but I believed his pride prevented him from praying in front of me.  He said he did not use pre-written prayers and I suggested he could reflect on it and pray something in his heart but he wanted to pray on his own.  So I asked him, “Do you believe Jesus is God and he has died for your sins?”  He said he did.  “And do you now trust in that to make you right with God and be saved?”  He said he did.  I said that if he believed this and believed in his heart God raised Christ from the dead, his faith saved him.  He took a Bible study but did not want a book.  So I am hopeful the conviction of the Holy Spirit will be complete in Him and he will pray to receive Jesus.  Whenever I have run into a student again from the past several years of recent memory, they have prayed to receive Christ on their own if they committed to Him (but did not pray in front of me.)  So I am always hopeful and prayerful.  Last year a student named Robert said he had prayed the following week, so sometimes I think the truth takes time to settle in.

Thanks for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism today if you had a chance.  God was with me and blessed.
In Him,
Bob
