Robert & Susan - September 2023

MARTIN, ROBERT & SUSAN (Kingston, ON; Kingston Prison Ministry; MSC)  PRAISE/PRAY:   Susan’s mother (Verna Millson) passed away August 22nd, 90 years old. It was unexpected and we are saddened and sobered by the suddenness but are thankful for the goodness of God. We know she is happy and healthy and delighting in the joys of heaven. She was a wonderful mother and mother-in-law and we are thankful for the example she was in our lives. BG, now out on parole, requested a pass for the day in order to attend the funeral. He considers us family and years ago had visited and became acquainted with Susan’s parents. Amazing to us, the pass was granted. BG is also doing well reconnecting with family, maintaining employment and seeking to walk faithfully. We had an opportunity to visit with GR recently, also in a halfway house. He is also managing his challenges and staying the course as he adjusts to life on the outside. We are encouraged. Pray for CB.  His correctional plan coordinator is making unjust assessments and documentations. This is hugely discouraging as CB prepares for his parole hearing. CB also struggles with mental health issues. Pray for Christian chaplains….that they would be faithful to the Word of God.  One we have known for years is now in the process of “deconstructing”.
