Greeting in His Love and Grace,

I pray the Lord is encouraging you everyday in Him! He is faithful and worthy o all our praise for the work He is doing through us. Your willingness to stand with this ministry through your faithful prayers and gifts are making a real difference in so many lives.

Each day it seems the Lord is opening doors to reach even more men and women with the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. At the same time the world, flesh and Devil are working to take our focus off the call and the power for His Holy Spirit to work. These dark forces are at work through any available person or event to disrupt or create divisions especially as I'm trying to give the gospel or an important principle for living the Christian life.

But God is so good. Each time these forces come against my staff and myself, He is always faithful to give us a means of escape to overcome them. The wonderful result is lives coming to Christ for enternity! As I finished a Large Bible Study the other day of 20 men, one of those men named Theo came to me after class and said, "Chaplain Bradshaw we Thank God for you and the class.

So many have come to Christ and then you teach us how to live the life in Christ. Without this class I know we all were looking to a hopeless future! But you brought us HOPE!"

Pray for more Staff, funds to cover all the needs and strength to keep up with the demands of time and schedule each week. We can't do this ourselves. It will take the hand of the Lord to meet these important needs! I want Him to get all the glory for He alone deserves it. Thank you for standing with us and believing God for the power to do this important work.

In His Love for the Prisoner,

Steve Bradshaw

President

Wello everyone, spring is on its way!

This has been one of the most unusual years I have ever experienced. The joy and love I have experienced has been overwhelming. How about you? What I have found out is it doesn't just walk up and bop you in the head. You must be aware that it is around you and accept it when it comes your way.

Now that I am open to it, I feel it covering me like a warm sweater. It's warm and sweet, cozy and light. It's everything and it's nothing. It's terrifying and comforting.

Joy and love is everyone and everything around you. Take the time to look at it, smell it, feel it, embrace it, and especially, believe it, because it is God giving you everything you want and need. Believe it because it is God surrounding you, keeping you safe. Believe it because it is God giving you unconditional love.

Love and peace to all,

Ivy S. Kirk

Executive Director
