Report Day 20: Monday, 11/5/2001

Monday, November 5, 2001 - This morning the BfA motorcade, joined by ten supporters, returned to the Ohio State campus to meet students on a regular school day. From ten o'clock until one o'clock we spread out to various locations near the Student Union building. The Ohio State University is a large and sprawling campus with over 55,000 students. There was a steady stream of students for the three hours we were there, and as at other campuses, we found the student body very receptive to our offer. We passed out over 4,000 offers for free Bibles and gave away 137 New Testament Recovery Versions.

Here are some highlights of today:

  • After he received a free Bible, one student prayed, "Lord, bless every one of these brochures. Bless this campus with these Bibles."
  • Another student was so impressed with the New Testament that he said, "I want to get twenty for my youth pastor."
  • A young couple, after receiving an offer for a New Testament Recovery Version, came to the motor home to pray for a relative who was being diagnosed at the Ohio State University medical clinic. We prayed together and then had a very enjoyable time discussing the Recovery Version. They both received theirs on the spot. We also gave them a copy for their relative to read, especially during his time with the doctors. The couple said they were happy to have met us and left in peace.

The apostle Paul exhorts us in 2 Timothy 4:2, "Proclaim the word; be ready in season and out of season." Footnote 3 says that in season and out of season means "opportunely or inopportunely, whether the opportunity is convenient or inconvenient, whether you are welcome or unwelcome."

Proclaiming the word by His Spirit in us,
The "Word of Truth USA" Crew
