Dear Prayer Partners and Supporters,
Thank you for your prayers for the Christmas Program at the Brig. God really blessed. We had five extra people who received a security clearance and they were really a tremendous help to us and the program. One young man was saved Christmas day and in the next week two more surrendered and were saved. The inmates ask weekly if we will do it again this year. It is in the Lord’s hands as we see more changes at the Brig with security policies changing frequently. That day’s ministry was a blessing to the three college students who helped us; one from P.C.C., one from B.J.U. and one from Ambassador Bible College. We are also grateful for the couple who helped us. Their ministry of song and Scripture reading gave the men the Gospel as well as a delightful program.
We look forward to upcoming Brig ministry as I preach on April 12 th and 26 th in addition to the regular weekly Bible Studies. Pray for the Holy Spirit’s moving and the saving of souls.
During the month of January we reported back to one of our supporting churches in South Georgia. The congregation has been through a lot with the death of their former pastor but this group of believers and their new pastor has pulled together and are going forward in their service for the Lord. I can see how Paul’s travels, prayers, and being with other Christians was a blessing for both he and the Christians he ministered to.
Right now, with the great changes in our nation’s economy and the problems many are facing, we Christians must all keep our eyes on the Lord. We are different from the world. We know Who holds the future; we are not home yet and it is so important to keep our focus on the Lord and serving Him.
Every Sunday morning at 9:15 we are at the Nuc School, picking up and bringing the students to church. Last month our backup car became very unreliable and we had it towed away. The ’87 Nova had seen its days but it would hold four more riders when we needed the extra space. We never know how many will ride until we arrive at the base at pick-up time. Pray with us as God meets the transportation need we have. We thank you for your prayers and support in this need.
We are faithful at meeting the young men and women at the Mall every weekend but without the working of the Holy Spirit all is in vain. Last Sunday with a bad rain storm, four were waiting to ride to church. Upon arriving we found several who had driven in themselves. Our blessing here on earth is to see those that God has given us grow in the Lord. He is truly blessing.
Dennis and Georgene Harry
