evangelism.

Last week we had the chance to go sharing on the campus of Bethune-Cookman University. My roommate Lauren and I were able to do two Quest surveys and use the Soularium cards. When asked if she'd every experienced God before, Claniese, a sophomore pre-med major, said she definitely had. She explained that she tore her ACL and miniscus during her senior year of high school, but prayed, fasted (and trained hard, I'm sure), and was able to come back and earn a full-ride scholarship at BCU, where she plays now. Didn't really expect that answer! Three women from our life group were able to meet some sorority girls and did Soularium with the VP and another girl; they commented that they would love to use the Soularium cards with all of their sorority girls over the weekend, so one of the staff members gave them her kit. I'm excited to see if they were able to go back and visit them over the weekend (BCU's about 10-15 minutes from our hotel).

Saturday we had the whole day off; my roommate Lauren and I were hanging out with some friends and we decided to go get some pizza from the place across the street (I made sure that everyone said their favorite kind before I cast my vote! :) haha). Since it was so close we just walked over, ordered the pizza and decided to wait for it. In the meantime we chatted with each other and made small talk with one of the workers, Sue. There were no other customers in the place so she had a book sitting out about politics and religion. We started asking her about it, and she explained it a little. She commented that she was a born-again Christian. Ryan asked her what she meant by that, how she came to that decision and where she was at now. She explained that she had some family problems in the last year and was at the end of her rope, but she didn't sound totally certain of her faith. Ryan started to share the Gospel, and she asked us what we were doing there. When she found out we were missionaries she asked if we had any brochures about faith! We gave her a KGP and Satisfied booklet, and she told us to come back any time and chat with her.
