Today, I ran into a familiar face on campus during an outreach time. As I began to talk with the guy, we recognized each other but couldn’t remember why. About halfway through the conversation he realized how we knew each other. I had led a Bible study with his fraternity three years ago when he was a freshmen and he had attended a few times. Now he’s a senior trying to graduate. Over the last year he and his girlfriend had a baby and were now trying to raise a 9 month old little boy while finishing school. Recently they were engaged and are planning on getting married this summer.
It was obvious from our brief conversation that he wasn’t a Christian although it seemed like he was open to learning more about a relationship with Jesus. We only had a few minutes with him but we were able to share the gospel with him and his fiancé. (She had walked up as we were talking)
My hope is that they would place their faith in Christ and the future of their son and family might be changed because of God’s work in their lives. My regret is that I did not pursue him further three years ago when he was a freshman so that he might have spent his college career seeking to grow in a relationship with God.
