Will you pray with us in FAITH?

In our Spanish Bible studies, we worship the Lord through song and testimony, then do the Bible lesson. One song the men and women like very much is “Un Grano de Mostaza”, talking about us having FAITH in Jesus the size of a mustard seed, from Matthew 17:20-21. We are privileged to plant seeds in the minds and hearts of prisoners, asking God to help us water them and He will give the increase.


A new member of one of our classes, Luis R., has asked for prayer for his wife M. to open her heart to the Lord, as well as their children. He became a Christian last summer and is growing in the “grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus”. He desires others to pray with him for M. to make a FAITH decision to follow Christ, and that he may walk in victory even though incarcerated.

Joshua D. needs to let the Word of God revolutionize his thoughts, attitudes and behavior. Two events radically changed his life when he was 13 years old--his mother trusted Christ and his dad left them. Joshua did give his life to the Lord and memorized many Bible verses, but got in with the wrong crowd. Now Joshua says it is "too hard" to live for the Lord in prison. Pray that Joshua will experience his Heavenly Father's love and be able to replace his doubts with FAITH.

In one-on-ones with my gals before Easter, I asked them to read through the Gospel of John and circle the word “believe” each time it was present, then count up how many times! This challenge made us more aware of the importance of "believing" the Lord. It especially made an impact on Avery and Linda, women that I may not be able to see again. Please pray that God will cause their FAITH to grow.

A young man in our Dodge Bible study really tried to listen each week. His girlfriend had just given birth to their baby boy, and at the same time, we'd been studying about the "new birth". Before his transfer to where he would serve his sentence, we asked how he was doing spiritually. He spread his arms out to the sides, answering that he was "between good and bad". Please pray that Juan R. chooses to put his FAITH in Christ and "be born again".
