Greetings in the matchless grace and love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
What a blessing to turn from Summer to Fall!!! This is one of my favorite times of the year. I pray you will get to truly enjoy this Fall season. It's a special time to watch God's wonderful creation! If you're getting this letter after not hearing from me in sometime, please forgive me? I had computer issues, lost some names and addresses, but due to one of my sons (the computer wizz) he was able to restore most of them for me. I've gone through health issues and now I'm in much better shape. Thank you for your prayers and concerns.
As with the busy activities this time of the year, we are as an organization finding ourselves very involved in the ministry. Behind bars in the different Jails and Prisons we serve men and women are lonely and hopeless with the Holiday Season fast approaching. Hearts begin to reflect and the pain sets in as they miss family, loved ones and friends. Many of the prisons will not see visitors this season because many come for families and friends that don't have the resources to make trips, many times across the State, to visit them.
We have had some issues in the higher security prisons that have brought iLock Down" to these prisons, so programming has come to a halt. Pray the Lord will calm hearts and allow us to re-enter these prisons. Pray the Lord brings Harvest.
The Lord has opened a new prison for our P.D. Character Building Discipleship Series, the Northeast Oklahoma Community Corrections Center in Vinita, Oklahoma. The Chaplain was very receptive and I'll teach the course at the prison on Wednesday afternoon. Pray for a real movement of the Lord in the hearts of the men. You are very important to me and this ministry.
Thank You!
