YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED
     TO PRAY AT THE PRISON GATE

I was in prison, and you came to Me. ... When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You? ... The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’ —Matthew 25

Some of you have been helping me to get more focus in this ministry and then I go off in a whole new path. I know. Sorry.

But God has opened a door here and I just have to check out what's inside.

We have two exciting opportunities this Christmas Season (the Light Up the Darkness campaign to share the Gospel Story in over 1,300 prisons throughout America and the Prayer at the Atlanta Prison Gate event on Friday, December 19 at 11:30am at the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary). Click those links for more details; we're very excited to have you join us in one or both.

But in preparing for these two opportunities, I found some incredible statistics. Did you know that . . .

For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink ... I was in prison, and you came to Me.
Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? ... When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?
Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me. —Matthew 25

Only two things can change a man's heart: the friends he keeps and the books he reads —proverb

Thanks to everyone who helped to share A Rooster Once Crowed with thousands of prisoners across the United States. These resources are vital to helping our incarcerated brothers and sisters along in their walk.

In 40 days we raised enough to press over 2,000 copies of this Gospel Story into the darkest corners of America. These books will be run by our printer and distributed all over America throughout 2015 by our partners at CLI Prison Ministries.

While the campaign is over, if you'd still like to contribute, we'll make sure that 100% of your donation goes toward printing books that will be read by prisoners. To donate now, mail your check to:

the prisoners,
the warden,

the employees and
