Hey Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

I hope your day was blessed and ya got a peak at the sun. It came and went between periods of rain here. I had a good day on campus and Urbano prayed with me to receive Christ. I also went through the Gospel with a Muslim girl Maha who was enthusiastic about the Gospel and had gone to Catholic school and I gave her a Church to check out near COD and the Pastor’s number.

Urbano was sitting checking out his phone on a bench outside a lounge in the BIC near the double elevators. He was a really cheerful guy, ready smile. He had dimples when he grinned, good looking kid hair real short on the sides, longer trained back on top. He was wearing a black collared shirt and jeans, Latino. When I asked him if he died what he would say to God to get into heaven he said, “Wow, I never… “Then thinking a bit he said, “I don’t know how I would respond to that!” I said that was fine. He said he went to Church every Saturday night, he was Roman Catholic and thought he had about an 80% chance to go to heaven. I began to go through the Gospel with him and he was interested and enthusiastic. I asked him what the big thing Jesus had done to take away his sins and he basically he couldn’t think of anything, but the story came back to him somewhat. When I explained Christ’s imputed righteousness as a gift to him when God adopts him he exclaimed, “Wow!” It really was a blessing to see someone truly amazed at what had been provided for them by God’s grace. As I finished he said he wanted to be forgiven with God living inside him. It seemed clear he had not ever trusted in Christ to be forgiven, so he prayed with me to receive Christ after I explained a prayer he could pray. I gave him a Bible since he did not have one of his own. I wrote his name in the front and the date he had trusted Christ saying that was the day he could remember he had been forgiven. He was really enthusiastic about that as well, which was great to see, I said if he wondered what to read the read letters were the words of Jesus and he couldn’t go wrong there and he laughed. I gave him a Bible study and the book 20Things God Can’t Do writing “By the Spirit’s Power” in the front and explaining the Christian life, living inside out. He gave me his email to send him some stuff too. He was really grateful and we shook hands as he ran off to class and said goodbye.

I went through the Gospel with a few others who claimed to be Christians, one girl Anna who had not really understood things well said, “Thanks I really needed this!” I gave her a Bible study and got to explain everything to her so it was a good day.

Thanks for your prayers for the ministry and for evangelism today if you had a chance, God truly blessed.

In Him,

Bob
