A Tale of Two Alumni

What a week! There were two specific treats I want to highlight:

1. I got to run an outreach at The University of New Hampshire (UNH). This is special to me because God saved me while I was a student at UNH just over 19 years ago. And I teamed up with a Christian group, CRU, which is a Christian organization that I was involved with at UNH when I was there.
2. My friend Robert Grey was in the area and called me to see if he could come evangelize with me. Absolutely! Robert attended OAC’s Evangelism Training Seminar a few years back, and it was super to have an OAC Alumnus out on the streets with us for a day. 🙂

First, UNH. Tim, the Campus Director for CRU at UNH invited me to come the Friday night before the outreach to train the students and give them an idea of what was going to happen. It was a superb night of training and a great group that clearly wants to spread the gospel of Christ.

On the day of the outreach, it was raining. Ugh. Typically rain will be bad news, but get this… there was a rare town-wide power outage due to a raven flying into an electrical substation, so with limited power in the buildings, there were more students out!!!

Many many students took gospel tracts. Many stopped to listen to the preaching. We were able to present four messages in just over two hours. And there were some great one-on-ones.

Two non-Christian guys, Brian and Dave, gave their numbers to CRU staff for follow-up. Please keep that in prayer. And one non-Christian gal had lunch with a CRU staff lady the next day as a result! Please pray for the seeds planted!!!

As for having Robert out with us in Boston, it was a superb day in the open air! Many stopped to listen. Many tracts were handed out. It seemed to be “Chinese Day” because two of the best one-on-one conversations we had were with people who were visiting from China. I love ministering in Boston because God sends people from all over the world our way!

Here are photos from that day in Boston…
