Francisco Nueves, Javier Martinez, David Santisteban, Thomas Foster, and Nelson Riviera go to the capital of Texas to open-air preach and engage in gospel conversations on Saturdays. Readied by prayer and study we go knowing some people will never enter the door of a church. This is one of the many gospel conversations that day. 

A married couple had noticed Our IQ test. I, Thomas saw their interest and went to engage them. I introduced myself and found out that they were from Egypt. The wife spoke very little English, but she was very intrigued by the IQ test and the husband who spoke good English translated the test as we were going through it. In the test, Moses is mentioned, and his Muslim belief becomes apparent. He asked my belief and I told him mine was Christian. He asked why. I told him I knew the issue was who was the last prophet Mohammed came 500 years after Jesus. Nothing is needed after Jesus paid the fine. I asked if he knew what some of the last words Jesus said on the cross, he said he did not and I told him Jesus proclaimed “it is finished”, as we had not completed the IQ test and his wife was insistent that we continue so we worked through the test. I told him the IQ test was to show us how sometimes we can think wrong or be deceived.  I took the opportunity to transition from the test and the apologetics (the natural man) to the Conscience. I asked if he knew what the Old Testament moral law was. He said he did not know. I said it was the 10 Commandments. He said he knew about them but had never been taught.  I asked the question, do they think that they were good people? He said yes I explained that he believed in One God (single). We believed in One God revealed and three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Father in eternity past desired to give his Son a gift of people and Jesus agreed to purchase that gift. The Holy Spirit agreed to seal and teach the people to hate their sin and to understand his word, the Bible, and to point us to the finished work of Christ on that cross, Christ our Savior, and when we repent of our sins and place our faith in Christ’s finished work that he would forgive us. The husband then said he had never heard that and was so thankful to understand the Christian message and he said he could see my confidence and my sincerity, he grabbed my hand and held it for the longest time and over and over telling me that this meeting was so important to him. I asked if I could pray for him and he said yes I explained repentance and faith and then prayed for his salvation. One of many gospel conversations that day praise our God for His mercy and grace
