MARTIN, ROBERT & SUSAN (Kingston, ON; Kingston Prison Ministry; MSC) PRAISE: I met Ben for the first time this week; he is new to the prison system and nervous. He has no church background but has started doing Bible correspondence courses and is showing sincere interest. He would like to meet with me regularly for spiritual conversation. Chapel service attendances have been up at three different institutions over the past several weeks. PRAY: Pray for unity among Christian inmates. Several men shared with me how one man is attempting to dominate in the different areas including the chapel area. May the grace of God provide help for all who are entangled in this situation. Pray for patience as men have to wait for access to programs and then to successfully complete them before they can move to lower security or apply for parole. Many times the local institutions do not follow the mandates put in place by Ottawa. It can seem very unfair and is understandably frustrating.
