Successes at SJN SPSE joining other SPSE teams at Georgia Gwinnett College

October 11, 2024

On Wednesday, October 2, 2024, I, Rick Kohrumel, SPSE Team Lead at St. John Neumann Catholic Church, Lilburn, GA, joined SPSE event lead Clarence Burkholter of the Smyrna, GA SPSE Team and two SPSE women fellow evangelists at Georgia Gwinnett College, Lawrenceville, GA. During the 5 hours we were there with tables set up along the sidewalk leading between buildings at the main campus, we offered (free, of course!) blessed rosaries, SPSE and other pamphlets, as well as Bibles and Catholic books to all who passed. Although many walked by, SO many said Yes! We would ask them if they knew how to pray the rosary, most said no, and we would give them a brochure on How to Pray the Rosary. This led to asking them about what denomination they belonged to; most said Baptist, a few nondenominational, Pentecostal. A fair number said Catholic, but of those was a diversity of those who attend Sunday Mass regularly, occasionally, and one who had stopped going completely who was keen on the philosophies in this world. I/we invited all to return to/look into the Catholic Church (I was amazed that none of the non-Catholics knew that Jesus founded the first Church - the Catholic Church!). I invited many to consider attending the OCIA (formerly RCIA) classes at their local Catholic Church, and gave out my SJN-SPSE business card to these, inviting them to contact me if they would like me to help them find a nearby Catholic church and enter an OCIA class - as a "Come and see". To one young woman who did not want a rosary and whom I asked "What church do you attend?," she said she was Muslim. Having read the phenomenal testimonial book "Miracle of Miracles" by Mina Nevisa - a convert to Christianity in Iran, whose father t- who taught Islam at the University of Tehran - told her "You are dead to me!" when he found out she was a Christian and no longer a Muslim. Mins esca[ed Iran with her husband and moved eventually to Virginia, founding Touch of Christ Ministries whose mission is to help other Muslims-turned-Christians in Iran to escape (if they are caught and don't repent of Christianity and return to being Muslim they are deemed infidels and are put to death.) I shared that, at the end of this book, after 30 years Mina's father called her in the middle of the night saying the Jesus revealed himself to him as "The Bread of Life" while he was at his farm with amazing miracles happening around him. After sharing the end miracle with this student, she wrote down the title of the book with the seeming intent of ordering it on Amazon or eBay! Praise God for this amazing outing, and thank you Clarence Burkholter for setting up these SPSE events at so many college campuses in the metro Atlanta area!
