Waupun—After a mix-up last week, resulting in our not being able to enter for our regular class time, today we got the blessing of 2 new guys in class—C., who knew the Bible, and M., who looked like he wished he wasn’t there—pray for his salvation. Pray also for creative ideas to encourage unity, perhaps through a change in the set-up of the tables. M. had been transferred to Racine Correctional. J. was out to court—last week he had asked us, “If a person has not given their life 100% to God, will He hear and answer their prayers?” J. appears hardened, but admitted his trust and anger issues, which are common in prisoners. Pray he will read the Bible, truly hear what God is saying to him, and surrender “100%”.

Taycheedah one-on-ones—T. and R. (2 of the 3 gals I meet with) are moving to a different dorm (this is an answer to prayer for them), where they will begin an AODA (Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse) Program. Because of its intensity, I may not be allowed to continue meeting with them. Pray for God’s will for their growth in Christ!

Taycheedah—6 girls came to class and studied about the world system being against Christians. C. asked prayer for her boss at her prison job, who is always “hard” on her. C. also receives much persecution from other inmates there because of her strong stand for the Lord, but is concerned because her daughter J. is now in county jail. E. told us she will be moved soon to a minimum facility. She desires to grow much stronger in her faith, but is easily influenced by non-Christians. Pray for her choice of friends & for a Christian mentor at minimum.
