For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty in God for the pulling down of strongholds. . 2 Cor. 10: 3-4.
Month of October 1999
We would suggest that you pray generally for the inmates salvation, and the various issues such as forgiveness, guilt, loneliness, race relations, anger, worthlessness, bad news (no parole), loss of hope, fear, sexual pressures, family, alcohol and drug addictions etc. that they face when in an environment as such.
Those that are already Christians need to be lifted up in prayer for strength to walk as a new Christian.
We would also appreciate any material in the line of Christian books, pamphlets, magazines (such as Decision) and tracts that are pertinent to prison ministry, Bibles, etc. Please call Bob Ventura at 725-2733 if you have anything to donate. Thank You.
There is power in prayer, and as volunteers we would appreciate your prayers for the people listed below:
Bernie Mullins - BCI Chaplain
Peter Kanygin - Chapel Volunteer
Bob Ventura - Chapel Volunteer
BCI Staff (Superintendent and Board of Directors) and Guards
Volunteers that come into the prison to do one on one, or for Bible Studies,
etc.
