PRAISE: N is on full parole and keeping in touch with us. He is attending church, he has made reconciliation with his children. However he and his wife are not on civil terms. He is rough around edges but has made progress in the right direction. I don’t believe that he has taken the step of saving faith as of yet. Please pray for his salvation. Our family is remaining healthy; Emily and 5 week old baby Elliyah are doing fine. Susan’s parents are also well. We have heard from inmates inside prison via letters and phone calls that many are doing well despite the restrictions. They are remaining calm and seem to be doing well. PRAY: Please pray for S. he has become a follower of Jesus Christ through a female pen pal 12 months ago. It has developed into a closer relationship; however yesterday in a phone conversation with her it is beginning to sound like she wishes to retreat. S. has at least 7 more years before possible parole. As wise as this would be, he will be devastated if she breaks off the relationship. Pray that they both lean heavily on the Lord Jesus and seek and do His will. P is limited in his capacities and struggling as he is 71 yrs old, not in good health, his only 2 family members do not support him, other inmates at his half-way house take advantage of his pension money, he wants to plan for end of life so he will not be totally forgotten. He professes faith in Christ but struggles to engage in successful Christian living. Pray that restrictions would be lifted soon and we will be able to resume ministering inside…even in some modified format.
