Kate
She has had 12 years of Catholic education but she had a bad experience with one of her religion teachers during her sophomore year of high school. She identifies herself as a lesbian and she finds that Christianity is hypocritical. She believes in a higher power but it is not a personal god.

Lucy
She went to church until she was age 7. She believes in a god but she does not feel that it is necessary to have a relationship this god. She was invited to church and to KCM.

Johnny
He is a Christian and will be going on missions to China with an organization called Daybreak Asia. He is involved with Cru on campus. He currently attends a local church but is not plugged in. He, however, understands the importance of the local church and of the Great Commission.

Min and Tau
Min is a first year graduate student. Her boyfriend Tau was visiting her. She goes to a bible study for international students. They were both interested in the conversation. They wonder whether there is one God but people worship different forms of this God.

Let us pray. There are an abundance of people and matters to lay before the Lord.

Chris
A third-year psychobiology student (on the pre-med route). He was raised in a Catholic background but does not agree with everything. He doesn’t like how you have to do certain things to be accepted as a Catholic. Many questions were asked but he could not answer them. He does believe in the existence of heaven and hell but he is too focused on the present to consider this reality. Please pray that he might have been challenged by the conversation and that he will ask himself the tough questions.

Carlos
An economics graduate student. He was raised as a Catholic in Mexico. He goes to church and is quite religious. He likes the rituals and sacraments, and he sees the need for good works. He had to leave before follow-up questions could be asked of him.

Robert
A man from South Africa who completed his undergraduate to doctoral education at UCLA. He was from a well-to-do family and he believed in God until his family (wife and children) were killed during the apartheid years. He then converted to Islam, but a Christian relentlessly pursued him and befriended him. Ultimately he put his faith in Christ again. He now works with gangs and in crime prevention. He had no prayer requests.

I went with Ed to Covel dining hall ministry, and we ate with a guy named Danny. Although he was hesitant at first to talking, we started a very nice conversation. He was genuinely interested in both of our testimonies and we had a very nice exchange of dialogue. It is interesting because he listens to Jesus Culture and other artists like that because he likes the idea of “unconditional love”. Please pray that the Spirit will open his eyes to see that unconditional love only exists through Christ!

PS – I got his number and we are going to try and meet up more. Oh and he lives in Sproul with me!

Leon- post doc student. He knew a little bit about Jesus and has read through some portions of the Bible. He claimed that Jesus was God but he explained that his healing power and great knowledge made him God. The gospel was preached to him and we talked about matters of (original) sin and how and why Jesus died on behalf of sinners.

Wesley
Very introverted guy. It was very apparent that he had been hurt. We asked him how his freshmen year was and he said it was full of disappointments and problems. We asked him if he had ever thought about dieing or the after life and he said, “Yes, I’ve thought about dieing because I think it would be better than living.” Very grim and sad experience to talk to him. Thankfully, Elias was able to share the gospel with him and get his number before Wesley left for class. He says he doesn’t initiate but is down to talk if Elias calls first.
