Prayer Requests for Jail Inmates

• • Jesse H wants so badly to be saved. Requesting prayer rugs and particular Bible translations. I keep telling him it’s just about his relationship with Jesus, but he cannot seem to rest in that.
  • Benny M just got sentenced to at least 20 years in prison. I believe that he is saved but he is still a teenager and he is very scared.
  • Joe G. is a friend of mine from the mission and the jail. Joe is one of those guys who does great when he is in jail but not so great when he is not. Praise God Joe is in jail.
  • Brett M got out of jail in early January after a pretty long stay. He wants Jesus to change his life and he seems to be seeking Him.
  • Andrea H. would love it if you all would pray for her because, as she put it, she is bound by rage and anger and needs the courage to move forward.
  • Joe D is a friend of mine from the mission and jail. I have written about him before. Joe gave his life to Jesus last year and he did well for a few months but then he disappeared from the mission. Recently I received a kite from him asking for a Bible. This time he is in the mental health unit and I am very concerned for him. Most of all I just don’t want him to give up on his relationship with Jesus

“For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel—not with wisdom and eloquence, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power” (1 Corinthians 1:17).
