Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

I hope your day was blessed and you felt the nearness of God.  I had a good day at campus and got a few conversations going and seeds well planted. Ciara (See AR AH) was a black girl with multiple braids and a pink snow coat on, sitting across some chairs with her legs up in the hall.  She did not want to do a student survey but I asked her if she would like to read a booklet on her own.  She said yes. So in handing it to her I began to go through the Gospel quickly. I asked her what she would say to God if asked why He should let her into Heaven. She said He’d look at her heart and the things she had done. “So you believe if you do good things you go to heaven?” I asked. “No, not just that but God also looks at your heart,” she replied.  I went through a short version of the Gospel, leaving her the booklet and showing her the prayer and told her how she could pray to accept God forgiveness.  “Oh thank you!” she exclaimed. I also gave her the book Pocket Prayers, and got another enthusiastic “Thank you!” She began to read it as I walked away, encouraging her to pray and tell God she wanted forgiveness, trusting in Jesus.  I went back and got the spelling of her name, telling her I would pray for her.

At the end of the day, Diana, who was a Latina girl, was sitting by the locker I used today.  She had long hair and a cute face. When I asked her what she would say she said “Honestly I would say ‘I regret everything I’ve done and I’m scared to go to Hell.'” She thought she had a 50% chance of going to Heaven, expressing that she had done bad things.  She took in the Gospel and I asked her if she believed Jesus was God, had died for her sins and rose from the dead. She seemed uncertain, but then said she thought deep in her heart she did and wanted to be forgiven.  She had only been to Catholic Church a few times with an aunt as a child. I gave her the Pocket Prayers book and then went back to give her the student edition of The Case for Christ, which I knew to give her (and then had a lapse at the end of the conversation. Just over tired I guess).  So she took it from me cheerfully, thanking me. She was going to think more about it and decide.

So thanks for your prayers for the ministry today if you had a chance.  I feel like God led me to a couple peeps who might soon pray to receive Him and seemed very close to the Kingdom of God.

In Him,

Bob
