It's been two weeks and I'm still not used to the fact that we're six hours ahead of "the rest of the world."  This is how I think of home.  There's a lot of the world that does not reside within the boundaries of central time, but that time zone makes more sense to me, because it's what I know.

We had a good time on campus.  I went out sharing with Kyle this morning.  We approached a couple groups of students, and they were all french speakers.  We have a survey we had them fill out, but we've found that very few of the Francophone students speak english well enough to really understand an english Gospel presentation.

It was just about lunch time, so we were waiting for a couple girls to finish up an appointment and then we would all walk to the Campus Crusade office together.  While we waited a group of three students approached.  They asked to sit down (two of them sat between Kyle and I) and then looked at us as if to say, "So what do you have for us?"

I asked if they were Francophone or Anglophone, and they responded "Bilingual."  What this meant was that they are Francophone, but speak english.

I asked if they would like to hear about what we are doing and they said yes, so for the next 15-20 minutes I shared the "Would you like to know God personally" booklet with them.  Near the end of the booklet there's a diagram that shows two kinds of lives.  The circle on the left represents a life without Christ.  The circle on the right represents a life with Christ in control.

I asked the three students which circle represented their life.  Two of them said the one on the right, but one student name Sissi (it's pronounced Cee-Cee, and he was also the most engaged in the conversation) said he was the circle on the left.  I asked him which circle he wanted to represent his life, and he said the circle on the right.

Right there he prayed and invited Christ into his life.

One of the realities we face is that students will pray with an American (for reasons I still don't fully understand) to impress them, and not because of a genuine decision.  It's difficult to know if this was the case, but he was engaged and seemed to have a full comprehension of the conversation.  I set up a time to meet with him at 2:00 on Wednesday (8:00 am central) so if you think about it, please pray that he would show up at this time and be interested in learning more about his new relationship with Christ.
