Each week he leads a Bible study for
Inmates.
Several weeks ago, after class,
One of the attendees asked him how
He could get a Bible.
Since the process to obtain a copy of
God's word is tedious my friend simply
Said, "Here, take mine."
The fellow's eyes welled up as he took the
Book of truth with him.
Last week the recipient of the Scriptures
Approached his teacher with tears in his
Eyes again.
He held up the Bible and said,
"My cell mate was an atheist, but for the
Past few weeks we've been able to explore
God's word together and this week he
Gave his heart to the Lord,"
The man was overcome with emotion.
"I never dreamed God could use a 'loser' like me.
It's the most profound thing I've witnessed and
Been part of."
The believer is trying to get a pass for the new
Brother to come to the class and meet my
Friend.
I'm overcome with emotion too.
I'm glad God uses "losers."
Whoever loses his life for Christ's sake will
Find it.*
And this dear inmate is finding that his life has
Purpose, and
Intention and
Meaning, even in prison.
*Matthew 16:25
(My friend, Jon, who engages in this ministry has a serious
form of cancer. I would appreciate your prayers for him. He is
an amazing believer, one who has touched so many lives.)
