To my Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

I think most would agree life is all about choices.  Some may even say we are the product of all of our decisions.  On our way into the prison last night, the officer at the visitor entrance mentioned we may not get many inmates at the service because it was a very nice day and they had yard time. Tough choice for those cooped up in prison day after day – how often do they have the chance to get outside for a breath of fresh air?  Less often than we might think.

When the men showed up, there were fewer than half our normal amount, as predicted.  But the men that did come to church actually mentioned that they purposefully made that choice because some things are more important.  And throughout the service, the ultimate choice was mentioned over and over – the biggest choice any human on this Earth can make – the choice that determines our eternal destiny – to trust in and believe on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

It's encouraging to hear some men include prayers for salvation of everyone on their block, or in the whole prison, in their prayer requests.  A sign of maturing faith is when our prayers start focusing more on others instead of ourselves.  You know, like all of you do each week.

Thank you for being selfless in the way you pray for these men and their families each and every week.  May our Heavenly Father honor your prayers and return blessings upon you and your families.

Grace and Peace,

Rick

Prayer Requests from last Thursday (Inmate 1-on-1 sessions):

• Troy– Please pray for my wife Beth, she was out of sorts when I last talked to her – she's worried about me and our daughter and not sleeping or eating right.  She was in the hospital for low blood pressure (plus she's had a bad heart valve from birth).  I'm very concerned about her, and she and the kids are not saved. I need to get out of here and share my faith with all of them.  I finally got a court date for 9/1, pray that it holds and charges all get dismissed. And pray for my friend Jaxx, he prays even though he doesn't go to church.
• Brandon– [He was released on parole last Wednesday, please pray that Brandon follows through pursuing the Lord in his endeavors.]

Prayer Requests from Medium Security (6:00pm Monday service):

• Mike– my wife Robin and my kids Hannah, Gavin, and Michael.  There's been pressure to sell the house, pray for a delay on that.

• JD– praise and thanks that I'm off crutches.  Friday was a hard day – would have been my late mother's 74th birthday.  Although I did feel the Lord's hand of comfort on me, and I believe He told me to share my story with others.
• Troy– for my wife and kids. This past week I was distraught about my situation, and I just fully gave it over to God and surrendered to His Holy Spirit.  I just want to live for Him.  Also pray for my friend Anthony who went to rehab.
• Jim M– my with cancer that we were praying for passed away on Friday – he knew Jesus so he's in heaven now, and I guess he's completely healed!  Pray that everyone in this place knows Jesus.
• Julius– God is doing great things in my life, and I'm so thankful.  I pray for endurance as we deal with such great negativity on the block, help me to not judge others.  I'm signed up for the inside-out program at West Chester, and I'm in line to get a job on the tier, also hoping to get to the work release center.  Pray for all those getting out to stay on the path towards God.
• Ross– they want me on meds but won't tell me why- pray for transparency of inmate medical system.  Praise God for my friend who got a position at the VA, and thankful for some great prison services put on by pastors from local churches.

Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Humans are creatures of habit.  We are most comfortable in familiar surroundings with people we know and care about.  Recent renovations that closed the prison chapel were needed, but took us away from familiar surroundings for our weekly Monday night church services.  Volunteers were grateful to still meet with inmates using a few classrooms, but we were all looking forward to getting back into the chapel.  I heard the same from several inmates.

God is not limited in any way, and church services can be held anywhere, but there's just something special about being in a dedicated space. Jesus described to His disciples a special place where all followers will eventually experience ultimate comfort:

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. ” (John 14:1-3)

Imagine that – being in the best place possible with the One who loves you the most.  That's not just comfortable, I'd call that paradise.  While we're waiting to join each other in our Father's house, He's given us instructions – check out 1 Thessalonians 5.  All of you remind me of 3 of those things:

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (1 Thes 5:16-18)

We give thanks for your partnership in this ministry, rejoicing with you that inmates are experiencing the love of Christ and hearing the Good News each week, and we are all covering them in prayer.  May God bless all of His faithful followers in a special way this week.

Grace and Peace,

Rick

Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Each of the Monday night volunteers takes their turn preparing and delivering a message to the inmates.  We never know ahead of time how many will come out and hear that message, but we trust God will put the right people in the room that need to hear what He's put on the heart of that week's preacher.

As a group, we resolved to prepare and execute the service to the best of our abilities no matter if it's 30 inmates or only 3.  In fact, a few years back we had a service where only 1 inmate came out.  Seemed kind of silly with 7 volunteers for just 1 inmate, but we held the service just the same (although if I recall, we sat in a small group and had a more intimate service that week).

It's the same routine every week – we arrive, prepare the room, and we wait.  We chat about how many will come out.  Andy talks about how his wife prayed a number, and she's often right on the money.  Last night we weren't sure if anyone was coming – and we've had that happen in the past as well.  On rare occasion, we get word from an officer that nobody is coming, so we have a brief time of prayer for the inmates and go home.

Last night we had only 3 inmates in first service, but must have faith that it's exactly who God wanted in that place at that time.  And we must honor God by giving our best in all circumstances.  Do you get depressed or angry when things don't turn out the way you expect?  I think we all do, but it's a chance to flex our faith muscles and practice our resolve to use our God-given gifts to His glory no matter what.

Thank you all for flexing your prayer muscles each week for these men and their families.  We all win, and hopefully we all get closer to God in the process.  God bless your week.

Grace and Peace,

Rick

Prayer Requests from last Thursday (Inmate 1-on-1 sessions):

• Troy– the drama from my cellmate is too much, losing my peace.  Had a rough call with wife- she's in a bad mood.  I can't video call her because of technical glitch. Praise God my brother Jimmy visited me again, and he called his granddaughter Kelani after 3 years of silence.  My court date passed and I have no information about what's going on with my case – I just want it to be over, no matter the outcome.  Please pray for my friend Jaxx, thankful he's in my life. Please pray for former cellmate Mac whose uncle died suddenly from a slip and fall accident.
• Brandon– back to regular cell as of Wed – 24 days in the hole – glad to be out, but not happy about circumstances that put me there (belligerence and mouthing off to officers that resulted in physical altercation).

Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

We notice several recurring themes among prayer requests in the prison, which usually coincide with each man's place in his journey. Most men entering prison begin with much anger and rage, projected on corrections officers, other inmates, and especially the legal/court system. This may be the most difficult theme, often involving hard hearts, and sadly some never progress beyond it.  We pray God would soften those hearts and allow them to see beyond their present circumstances.

Once the anger subsides a bit, we hear bitterness and yearning for justice/fairness. This is where teachings on God's mercy and grace can be most effective – who wants justice when we can receive mercy?  For those who submit to the Lord and seek Him, the next theme becomes forgiveness, mercy, and grace.  The realization sets in of how broken and empty we truly are.  We pray God would fill the immense void in their heart with his unfailing love.

Finally, as release dates get closer, anxiety and fear kick in.  They will soon return to making their own decisions, which in the past has proven detrimental.  They need confidence in God's grace, and the discipline to continue seeking Him and His path for their life (versus their own).  We pray they will stay in His Word and find a good Bible-preaching church with faithful brothers and sisters to surround them with God's love and encouragement.

No matter which phase they are in, every man appreciates that others pray regularly for them and their requests.  Thank you for your faithful service of lifting all these before the throne of grace each and every week.  We can't express enough how important your prayers are, and how much we value your partnership in this ministry. May God bless you and yours in a special way this week.

Grace and Peace,

Rick

Prayer Requests from Medium Security (6:00pm Monday service):

• Greg– I'm leaving next week, want to find a good church – I got away from it before coming here, but now I want to get involved with people who are real and pray with them.  I'm going to keep this part of my life.
• Carl– I get out tomorrow to head to rehab, then to a half-way house.  Starting a new chapter of my life.

Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

We all have people in our life who are not walking with the Lord – friends, neighbors, coworkers, and especially family members – and it breaks our heart. They live their lives like God doesn't really matter, and oftentimes things are going OK for them, so they don't find a need for anything beyond what they have now.  We can see a bigger picture that they either can't, or don’t want to see.  What are we to do?

Scripture is clear – God wants a relationship with each of us, and desires to be reconciled with those who have drifted away or perhaps never knew Him in the first place.  2 Corinthians 5 explains how God sent Christ to reconcile the world to Himself, and now He has given us this ministry of reconciliation.

Bottom line – “So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, 'Come back to God!'” (2Cor 5:20)

It's not judgement or condemnation, it's an invitation.  Just like how Jesus invited others to follow Him.  It may be uncomfortable, definitely not easy, and many times it's hard to find the right words.  That's when we must rely heaviest upon the Holy Spirit of God.  We need to be prayed up and allow God to use us as He will.

Very similar to what you do as part of this ministry each week – praying up all the male and female inmates, staff members, chaplains, and volunteers.  We ask our Holy Father to move through us and help each of us share the love of Christ with all those around us.  And one of the best ways to love anyone is to invite them on the path towards Christ.  Oh Lord, help us to be good ambassadors, to honor and glorify you.  Thanks as always for your partnership in prayer!

Grace and Peace,

Rick

• Brandon– for multiple issues going on within my extended family, and for peace on the cell block – there have been several fights lately.  Pray for my GI health issues, many test results still not back, and I don't think they are going to try and figure it out since I'm due to be released Aug 19.

Prayer Requests from Medium Security (6:00pm Monday service):
