Praise:
Opportunities to minister in one particular institution (JAU) are increasing.
We were not exposed to a bloody fight that took place in the chapel following a service in Collins Bay Medium.
Successful completion of a 6 week Bible study. We had positive feedback from the men and we rejoice in the faithful consistent attendance.
BG is on the street in a halfway house and his most recent communication with us was: "God has blessed me beyond my wildest dreams. I am putting in an application for full parole in June."
Pray for his consistent steady walk with the Lord. So important for continued success.
Pray:
For repentant hearts for P and C. They know biblical truth and righteousness but they need to acknowledge their sin as King David did.
For physical safety as some prison environments can be very volatile.
For F. His son was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident two months ago. It is very difficult to support his wife and other children from prison.
For N....a correctional guard. Last week after we were finishing up our weekly program with the inmates he approached us and asked if we could provide him with a Bible. We chatted for 20 minutes and suggested he start with the Gospel of John.
For D. He has a Christian upbringing but made some unwise choices that have brought him to prison. It is very difficult for his family. We are praying D does not grow bitter, disregarding Truth and becoming derailed from Christ-centered living.
