It's amazing!


A. had many tears as he sang the following song when translated to English says:

God take us to the feet of the cross,
Where you show us the truth of your love.
We see your hands and feet,
Fully covered with pain,
And your head lovingly covered with thorns,
While He paid the price for you and for me,
Give thanks to Jesus, Give thanks to Jesus,
Give Him all of your soul, Give Him all your heart.

This young man IS born again!

Check out what GOD is doing!

After our Dodge class, J. asked to talk to us, Carl took him aside to pray with him & he burst into tears.
E.'s mental situation had improved a lot since Carl's visit with him last month.
C., and F., both strong Christians, seemed encouraged to share their burdens.
C. is facing a possible divorce.
We came to know R. through his wife, Y., who is in our Bible study class in the women's prison.
O. cried a half dozen times during our visit, his heart is so tender. His Mom died just over a year ago. Just as we were asking him to pray with us to trust Christ, the officer arrived with the next inmate. Pray he will give his life to the Lord on his own.
We don't know why R. refused our visit, but when F. also refused, a Christian inmate said E. converted to Islam.
We visited A. via video, as he is in seg now. He is growing in his faith.
A., an 18 yr. old, had been witnessed to by another inmate, & believed on Jesus, now is studying through Tecate Mission's Bible Correspondence Dept. & is sharing with others.
We didn't know his release was so close, but R. said that he is excitedto go to a half-way house this coming Tues.
The saddest visit was one that never happened. We've seen L. othertimes, but this time he had been in seg, his mental & emotional state deteriorated, & had been sent to a mental health center the day before we came to visit. We're trying to see him this coming week.
We were able to leave packets of tracts, song sheets, and a Bible study for each inmate with the chaplain.
Thanks for praying also for those open chaplain positions--God sent a Christian to fill the spot at CCI!
