It was Thursday night of the Hometown Trip to Cool, a small town near Sacramento, CA, and Ollie Mulligan was beginning to feel the tinge of subtle disappointment.
A week full of witnessing without a single opportunity to pray with a student to receive Christ. Ollie flipped through the first few pages of the Bible he took with along with him, the front presentation page still blank. Only one day left...
The next day, on the team's last witnessing trip at Del Oro High School, Ollie and his high school partner had the opportunity to speak to a student named Zane after school.

"Pretty soon, it became obvious that Zane had never heard the Gospel before," said Ollie. After a brief explanation of the offer presented in John 3:16, Zane fully understood that he had a decision "to believe or not to believe" and was eager to make that decision right then and there.
"So I got the chance to pray with him to receive Christ," said Ollie. "He was very excited about it and pumped about joining the Christian club to grow in community as a Christian." Ollie remembered that he still had the Bible he had just been flipping through the night before. Using a highlighter, the only writing utensil available, Ollie wrote:
"Presented to: Zane, From: Ollie, On the Occasion of: Zane praying to accept Jesus."
"He was very happy to receive that Bible and I was excited to be able to write that for him," said Ollie.
