We preached the past 5 days at Texas State. Our meetings were large and long, one time not leaving the free speech area until 7:30 when it was dark, and a crowd was still there. But we told them we needed to go.
Here are some quotes from students that I wrote down:
"You guys are better then MTV!" random student
"Every single class is talking about you guys." random student
"This has set me on fire. It's like God is saying 'Wake up! Here is your opportunity for one2on2'. You guys have helped me grow in my walk. I love it." Ray. Has been saved only 5 weeks.
"I can't thank you enough. Please come back. Please come back." Gabe, sophmore.
"I am just really encouraged by yalls faithfulness. You are faithful to your calling. I am just really encouraged. Stay faithful." John.
"I was with a guy last night (Thursday) who walked by on Tuesday. He heard ya'll preaching. He told me, 'I'm going to guy and smoke some weed...but I know it's a sin.' He heard you on Tuesday and was still thinking about it Thursday night. Even when you don't think you are, you are being effective." Derek
Even Jimmy the homosexual said at the end of the week when he still saw us preaching, "D*mn! Ya'll are persevering."
Not all comments were nice. One quote is, "I'm an f***ing Christian, but I sin just as much as anyone...you are making Christians look bad." Jessica.
Later that night at around 11pm, Jessica called me up on my cell to talk. She apologized for her fowl language, and started asking questions about holiness. I explained, clarified, and gave her scriptures. She said, "you know, you really are making me think. I am going to commit myself to prayer and to studying the scriptures about these things." Praise God.
