Hi everyone,

sorry for missing an update last week. We've been very busy with the jail ministry the last few weeks. Now we're having 13 guys studying with us every week. All thanks to God for providing Ron and I the time to start going every week. Even with the two of us we're there about 3 hours or more. We've had more brothers being baptized again and seems to be pretty regular. again all credit and praise to God for getting these men exactly where they need to be so that they can finally figure things out with Him.
Had a wonderful homecoming party for Lenny and his family last week, so glad to see him at church and doing well.
Dell and Scott have moved to separate blocks now, might explain some of our increase in numbers. Such strong christian men already hard at it. Awesome.
Sound like we'll have even more visitors to the sunday pm SA meeting coming up this weekend. Gotta get to the grocery store and stock up so I better sign off.
We seem to be fine on bibles since I purchased an entire case of 24 last month. The 4th Man booklets were a hit and I'm all out since I only purchased 10 of them. You can purchase them for $1 at the "jail ministry bibles etc." link on this page. People often request the Daily Bread devotional booklets but I think Ron takes care of providing them. I'm looking for another good devotional booklet that they could have but no luck yet. Please give me any suggestions or send whatever you want (make sure its softcover). Thanks in advance, and also we're still way behind on funding, any help would be a huge relief.

in His love,
Brian
