Matthew 19:26

So today was our first day on campus. We got out there around ten in the morning and stayed out there talking with different people until around three. We met a variety of people in our walking. All of them knew about God, but we only met one person who said she was a Christian. We were talking to this other girl who believed part of the Bible. She believed that God and Jesus existed, but didn't believe in the miracles that he performed. For most of the morning, it was pretty rough. But it was a completely different time during the afternoon. We went to the Law Building and met two girls studying for exams. They talked to us about their views of the church. One of them actually teaches children at church on Sundays. We walked around a bit longer and found this small courtyard that had some tables and benches. We sat down and began setting up a visual survey that helps us with learning about the students. There was this guy sitting at the table next to us so I asked him if he would like to participate in this survey. He spoke very good English and was very interesting in what we were doing. When we got to the questions about God he told us that he was an Atheist, but his answers were similar to Christian answers, just with a "well if there was a God" attitude. He talked about there being this huge Love and family that he wanted in his life, but didn't think there was anyway he could reach it. When we were finished with the questions I told him that I had that HUGE love and I knew how he could get it. I went through the gospel about how as people, we are sinners and that because we sin we deserve death. But, I told him that before we were even sinners, Jesus Christ died for us and if we accept him as our savior and bring him into our hearts, then we will be saved. But it isn't that we deserve it; it's a gift from God. Ephesians 2:8 says that it is by grace through faith that we have been saved. I also told him Revelation 3:20 which says that Jesus is already here and all around us, wanting to be a part of our life. All they have to do is open the door and he will come into their hearts and they will be saved forever. He asked to keep the booklet and we exchanged e-mails so hopefully we will keep in contact and I will be able to see what God does in his life. Even though he claimed atheism, I saw his face when I shared the gospel with him, and he was interested and very intrigued and I know God was at work. I hope you will pray with me that God will work wonders in his life. Because I know that God has that Agape Love that Alejandro is looking for and wants in his life. God is so Great. God Bless! Ciao!
