Classmate Horrendous Crime

I'll call tomorrow. I was too busy end of the day. I will try to send those items or buy for him over the phone. I'm not comfortable just sending him cash. I'm going to keep writing every 2 weeks and hopefully God will lead him to write me back. God Bless

As an encouragement to "keep" writing him regularly, regardless of the response or lack of, think about God's Word as a letter to us (His love letter) and how many times a day it is handed to people who wont respond to it. But usually if His Word (love letter) surfaces often enough, even if the reaction at first is a negative one, eventually that person will pick it up, read it and be saved. God sends all of us letters, notes, photos, songs, etc. every day... and they are sent in love, to help us, to get our attention and to helps "see" and love Him back. It's because of God's consistency and not giving up that many of us (if not all) got saved... your friend in prison is no different. Keep it up, make sure he has a way to write you back if he wants, and let God's love for him flow through you.

Also, there maybe a ministry that already goes in and hold's bible studies in side... or one of the other inmates may do it... keep looking into that as well. Your continuance is a sign of God's love working through you. And you never know, if your letters dont get to your friend, someone else in there may get it.

I talked with the prison today. I can only send money order to help pay for stamps, paper, and pens. Not sure on how I feel about that yet. BUT-I may send a $20.00 one once I hear from him again. I sent him a letter of this morning too. I'll keep doing that consistantly and hopefully hear back. I'd like to hear from him soon though-he was very depressed over the holidays. I've sent about 8 letters to his 3, so they must be getting through. Thanks for words of encouragement. God Bless

Grace and Truth has some wonderful prison tracts. You might ask for some samples.

You could send one to him in each letter, maybe one will hit him. Let me get a link: http://www.gtpress.org/

And that reminds me, I LOVE "The Value of Trials" tract - it's for Christians, written to explain how God allows hard times to befall us and how they make us grow.

They have been completely awesome in keeping me supplied for "my ministry".

Thanks I'll try those site tomorrow. Tough point is that I have to make copies of any items I send him. I can't send him a book or magazine or even stamps or pens. I'll keep writing him and maybe he'll get back to me. Thanks alot
