"I think I have a demon in me!"

This is what Brock said to me as I walked up to his cell. He was in an observation cell to make sure he did not hurt himself. I said, "Why do you think you have a demon in you?" To which he replied, "I feel empty and alone, I feel like a demon wants to come into me." l looked him in the eye and said, "You know Brock, we all live our lives empty until we find something or someone to fill us up." As I looked deep into his eyes, I could see a spark of hope rising in the darkness of his soul. Without a doubt the Lord Jesus was taking him to the light of the Gospel. "Only when we turn to Jesus and give our life to Him can we find a new life in Him. Would you be willing to invite the Lord Jesus Christ into your life as your Lord and Savior to give you a new life and purpose by living through Him?"

As he sat on his mat lying on the floor of his cell, he looked up at me nodded his head and said firmly, "Yes, yes I would." We bowed our heads, "Tell the Lord these words from your heart to His." I then led him in the sinner's prayer and watched a man who was afraid he had a demon become the man who has a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. He moved from darkness into His eternal light! Thank you, Lord, for placing us in a ministry from your heart, right in the greatest darkness to reveal your Eternal Light.

As I look at Brock, after the prayer, I could see a lifted face shining with hope in a new life.

Pray for Brock and the path he has begun. A path of new life and real purpose from behind jail bars. Only Jesus takes us from fear and despair to a fulfilled new Life in Christ.

You share in this great victory, thank you. Thank God for bringing us from a place of hopelessness to shine His light into willing souls.

Thank you for being our partner,

Dr. Steve Bradshaw

Days like these God uses to open doors to Eternity! As we walk through these trying days, the Lord uses the increasing problems of life and our society, to create incredibly special opportunities. These bring people to the only real hope and love we have in the Lord Jesus Christ.

From the Tulsa County Jail becoming more available to my direct discipleship ministry to State Prisons collaborating with us through our Project HUB Re-entry, we are seeing tremendous growth. I have seen more Spiritual fruit in adults coming to Christ than I have seen in many years. Just over seventy in my personal ministry last month. Through these souls reached and discipled in the faith, God is creating a considerable number of discipled growing men and women both inside and out of the prisons. Please thank God with me for the great blessings He is giving us, as we minister together. Yes, you are an especially important part of this great response, and you share in each victory.

Please ask other Brothers and Sisters in the Lord, with which you have contact, to pray for us and the special needs we have encountered in our ever-increasing outreach and fruit. Direct them to our website at www.prisondiscipleship.com. There you will find information about P.D. our work and recent prayer letters to bring them up to date with further informed.

Thank you for standing with us through your prayer and gifts. As the days grow shorter remember the Lord had a magnificent work ahead, pray for His faithful power and supply. Thank you for all you do! May the Lord bless you in many great and wonderful ways.

In His Love for our Prisoners,

Steve Bradshaw

P. S. We are starting innovative programs for the fall and have been blessed with the addition of another prison, Jeff Dunn, and have hopes of starting a program at Mabel Bass.
