January 2017 Update

Blessings in Jesus’ Name!

This month I have been dividing my time mostly between the Detention Center and therapy.

The jail is at full capacity just under 1500 men. I continue ministering in three pods of Ad-Seg. About 139 men. It is an ever-changing international population of career criminals, cartel, members, murderers, etc. They come from all over the Spanish speaking world, Europe, Canada, a few now and then from the Mideast and of course the USA. I witness to each one and keep those who desire supplied with Bibles and Bible studies.

Thanks to God the therapy is helping greatly. My shoulder is about 90% of normal. I am looking forward to full recovery.

The Holiday Season was a little different this last Christmas. It all started with a phone call from Sacramento informing me that my only brother had three days to live. It required a few minutes to recover my senses. I needed to get to California. My youngest daughter and her husband fly a lot and they arranged to use points to get me a ticket. When I arrived two of my grandnieces had things well in hand, and my brother was out of danger.

God is a God who knows our frame, He answers prayer, and heals our infirmities. So instead of a sad time we had a good week together reliving past things. I had not seen him for over four years. Being able to spend Christmas with him was a great blessing for me. I flew back to Texas on the 26th and had a late Christmas with my daughter and her family. I arrived back in Del Rio on December 30th.

My profound thanks to all.   Being able to share God’s Word is an incredible privilege. I am extremely grateful for your prayer and support.

I pray that in this year 2017 that God’s Grace may abound in your lives more and more each day fulfilling the Godly desires of your heart.
