Thanks for coming out to our school, and debating with me! It was so great to meet the three of you!

It was great preaching on your campus, and it was a pleasure to take you three out to lunch. If we come back to the campus, we'd be glad to do it again.

Here is an email I just recieved from one of the students:
Hello,
I am a student at the University of Arkansas. Yesterday several men from your group visited our campus and preached near the student union. As I was walking from class, I heard someone speaking loudly and then looked over and saw someone holding a sign that, in large letters, said REPENT! My first thought was, "great another bunch of fanatics calling all the college students drunks and whores and threatening them will hell-fire and brimstone." Now, I am a Christian and I love Jesus Christ with all my heart. My father is an elder in our church. This campus gets lots and lots of people to preach outdoors. And every one of them that I have listened to up until now has been hateful and preached a "turn or burn" style message - basically a message that only served to further push students from a relationship with Christ. The message I heard yesterday, however, was different.
I went in to the Union and got some coffee and came back outside to sit and drink it and listen to what the people were saying. To my great suprise they were not speaking with hatred and condescension but with a sense of love for the students. As I continued to listen, I realized that everything they were preaching, all the points that they had were all truth! All based in the word, and strongly supported by the quoting of scripture. I thought it was soo important and awesome that they preached a message of being free from our sins because most college students who dont know Christ, see the Bible as full of restrictions and rules, when in truth it is their own sin that will restrict and bind them. All in all I listened to them from 11:00am until about 2:30pm. I was ashamed to see students from the University treat them the way that they did - cursing at them, yelling profanities, and even making very obscene sexual gestures. I have to tell you what though, I was so proud of the way that the ministers handled it all. They truly were Christ-like.
Well, thank you for reading this long email. I was just so impacted by their visit that I thought I should email you and tell you what an awesome ministry you have and to keep it up. Your ministers that were here yesterday taught the word of Christ in the spirit of Christ, and I would like to encourage them to keep it up.
In Him,
Justin Miller

It may take me a month or so to get what I taped on a DVD. I need to get a card for my computer so I can transfer it. Some of the video is bad because of a few scientists came up talking to me while I was filming, so there are times you can hear our convo, you guys preaching, and at other just a jumble of words. When I put it in DVD I will probably edit out parts due to that.
I'm thankful that I got to meet you guys and I can't wait till the weekend to see what I've learned.
