Happy Thanksgiving Weekend

Well, I flew back to Atlanta late Monday night to enter the land of bookkeeping. :-) I am finally at a stopping place. I have also been posting many inspirational photos from my Spirit-filled time at Angola prison last weekend on Facebook. I plan to post those on the blog tonight. I have to get a release from the prisoners in order to post photos, so I won't be able to post photos tonight of the Christian inmates WHO ARE MY BROTHERS IN CHRIST, except for Bobby Hampton on death row who signed a release for photos.

We have raised 450.00 from Facebook alone and one phone donation, as of tonight, for our project to get all of the prisoners on death row books on 'Heaven' by Randy Alcorn. In addition to this book, I am including a book detailing what the Bible teaches about hell. I will include either 'After Death What Then?' by Charles Taff or 'Where Do We Go From Here?' by John Blanchard. This project will cost 900.00. (There are 86 inmates on death row, and I am also going to send some books to the chaplains and wardens to share with others, rounding it off to 90 copies.) This cost does not include the cost of ordering the thin books from Taff or Blanchard to also warn the inmates about what the Bible teaches on hell.

I am also making music CDs for all of them, as they have requested the CDs of my songs. I am making copies just for the inmates without a photo to save money. This will also cost about 200.00, so this ministry is hoping to raise 1, 100.00 in all for this project. We praise God that 450.00 has already come in for this! This year for Christmas, I am asking all of my friends and family not to give to me but to give even 10.00 for a prisoner on death row to have one of these packets. So far, we have funds for 45 inmates on death row! If God doubles this amount, we will have the project practically funded.
