JUNE 2013
OUR MISSION & VISION Our Mission to help men in prison reach their fullest in the Lord. What we do Ministering to their spirit, soul and body, though one on one mentoring as their spiritual advisor and friend. How we began Jeremiah Prison Ministry began on November 30, 1999, which was birth out of a bond for a young man that made a wrong choice in life.. Our Vision to be able to go into the prison chapels without the inmates having to take us off their visiting list. We know with God ALL things ARE Possible! 70 men have been released in 13 years. We still are ministering to 68 inmates in 5 states.
Wow June was a whirlwind.. I wanted to send out our newsletter before now but....it was an exciting month... we made our visitations to the prisons, traveled to Arlington, TX for our denominational board meetings and convention, we were gone 18 days. And now a lot of catching up! While there we got to see our son and two of our four grandchildren that live in TX. We celebrated the 4th of July on the road and arrived home on the 6th. We traveled 3,028.1 miles needless to say we are tuckered out. I think we will fly the next time. Tom will celebrate his 65th birthday on the 20th we also will celebrate our 28th wedding anniversary the same day. Have you noticed time goes by so much faster when you are older?!

Isaiah 58:6-8 Is this not the fast that I have chosen: To loose the bonds of wickedness, To undo the heavy burdens, To let the oppressed go free, And that you break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out: When you see the naked, that you cover him, And not hide yourself from your own flesh? Then your light shall break forth like the morning, Your healing shall spring forth speedily, And your righteousness shall go before you; The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard. There is nothing that the devil dreads more than a praying Christian. Satan laughs at our hard work, but he trembles when we pray. Prayer puts things in Gods hands. Jesus taught us to be persistent and to never give up Pray Over praying. He said to ask and keep on asking. He said to Everything seek and keep on seeking. Prayer is about turning situations over to the Lord and trusting in Him. Isaiah tells us that when our backs are against the wall, its time to go on a fast. When we need a breakthrough, we must deny our flesh and seek the Lord. We dont fast and pray to please God; we do it to increase our faith. Fasting is about changing us and not God. (Give Up Something!) God is searching for people that will build up the wall of righteousness and stand in the gap in prayer. Things do not change unless someone is praying. When you pray over the salvation of friends and relatives, God dispatches His angels and His spirit to deal with people. People may run from things you say, but they cant run from the voice of God. And Jesus said that there are some things that can only be changed Worry through prayer and fasting. Make up your mind to pray and About not give up and the Lord will hear your cry. If you need a Nothing breakthrough in your life, youll have to deny your flesh and seek God in a whole new way. The Apostle Paul said to pray without ceasing. One of the greatest things that happens when you fast is your prayer life automatically increases. There is something about denying your flesh that causes your spirit man to rise up. You can wage war against spiritual forces if you want to, but the real war is inside you. The real war is your flesh and the fight of faith. The real war is your will, versus Gods will. Fasting and praying may weaken you physically, but it will cause you to rise to a higher level. God is not going to answer your prayers because you deserve it. Hes going to answer them because you used your faith and you never quit. Pray over everything and worry over nothing. When the people of God begin to pray, God dispatches angels and pushes back the hand of the enemy. If we pray today in one accord, there will be a jailbreak in your life. We will see the greatest harvest of souls that weve ever seen in his church. We will see everyone of your family members come to know the Lord. Its time to pray!
