A True Christian at College!

Today as I went to Crafton Hills college to share the gospel with some of the students, I met a man named Aldo who is a true Christian. It's been such a long time since I met a true convert on the campus. He is 18 years old. My mom first talked to Aldo, and told me that he's been saved for about two years now. But the way he got saved is an amazing testimony. After being involved in the Roman Catholic church with the rest of his family, he started to read the Bible for himself and discovered that the Catholic church was wrong - heretically wrong.

So, I decided to meet and talk with him. He told me that he was encouraged by what we were doing there (i.e. sharing the gospel with strangers). He also told me that he is going through cancer, although he doesn't feel any pain yet (praise God!), and is still going to the Catholic church. Why? Because he lives with his family, and they want him to be a Catholic so bad and to reject Biblical Christianity. He doesn't go to a Christian church because he is afraid that his family will be upset at him. He has, although, shared the truth of the gospel to them. So I encouraged him to be salt and light to his family by going by himself to a Christian church. I told him of how the apostles died, and how many Christians around the world are now dying for their faith. I told him that if he goes to another church, his family would be upset, but they sure wouldn't murder him for his faith.

He then asked me what was the difference between the Catholic Bible (i.e. The New American Bible), and the modern Bibles. He didn't seem to notice a difference (because there isn't much difference between the Catholic Bibles and the modern ones). I then told him that I was a KJV-Onlyist, and he said he would look into that a little more. So I gave him my KJV-Only website (i.e. www.KJVOnly.us) My mom and I also gave him some great websites to help him grow as a Christian (e.g. www.Refnet.fm). As I talked with him, he told me that he regularly visits www.Jesus-Is-Savior.com, which is a horrible website. I told him the heresies of the author of it, and he agreed with me that he shouldn't visit that website anymore.

Please pray for Aldo, that God would give him the courage to leave the Catholic church for the true church. Please also pray for his cancer to go away, and for him to grow more into the image of Jesus Christ. Also pray for him to have the courage to share the gospel with strangers. (And for my KJV-Only friends, please pray that he would become a KJV-Onlyist. ;-) ).
