Inmates as disciplers
One of the beautiful things about jail ministry
is when new believers begin to share with their fellow inmates. Yesterday after a Bible study in which several unbelievers showed great
interest, two of the inmates who are growing invited the others back
after lunch to continue talking.
A..... has only been a believer since January, but his enthusiasm and
understanding of Scripture is inspiring. G.... has been a believer longer. Both feel called to reach out to the other inmates. They are working with a number of
men using the different Volumes of New Life in Christ. Sometimes they put a little sign up on
the table where they study which says: “Ask us if you need prayer.” In another dorm S.... is
doing the same. He has finished all of the New Life in Christ books.
After the Bible study in their dorm I often spend time with them one-on-one to answer some
of the many questions they have. Almost every week inmates accept the Lord. Yesterday a
young woman the Holy Spirit had prepared prayed with Barb.
New Materials Spanish Volume 5
We are excited that the
latest volume of New Life in Christ will soon be up on our website.
We are just awaiting those who are helping us with some proof
reading. Like the previous volume it attempts to give biblical answers to common lies. Several of the topics like machismo and the
teaching of the prosperity gospel are doing great damage in Latin
America so the need for biblical answers is urgent.
Russian Volume 2 A friend in Moldova
has been using Volume 1 for years with
good results and felt the need to translate the remaining volumes into Russian. He sends me the
translations and I format them for publication. It too will be up on the
website as soon as he sends me the final corrections.
Our Mission
is to produce and
empower committed
followers of Jesus Christ
in Spanish-speaking
areas to reach the world
Please Pray
• For the inmates who
seek to disciple other
inmates.
• For the growth of each
of the new believers at
the jail.
• For our son Paul who
has been experiencing
back problems from the
surgery he had many
years ago to correct a
curved spine. He has
been unable to do any
significant work.
• For Barb who bruised
some ribs in a fall from
a bike.
• For the youth leaders
in training at our local
church.
Catalán Volume 1 A while ago we got a
note from a pastor in Barcelona asking
if he could translate the material into
Catalán which is the heart language of that
part of Spain. So far the first 8 lessons are
translated and formatted.
Special need All of these translations are being done voluntarily
at the initiative of the believers in these countries who see the need
for good discipleship materials in their heart language. We have
had requests for translations into other languages but would have
to pay a translator: Bambará for Mali, Africa ($360) and Malagasi
for Madagascar ($162). That’s not much considering the impact
it will have. Additionally we need about $600 for the drawings for each new volume I write.
Donations may be sent to Camino Global, designated for the following project: “New Life in
Christ-065116.” Thank you for sharing in this ministry of discipleship.
• For our Hispanic youth
to finish the school
year well; to apply
themselves to study and
prepare for the future
God has for them. Pray
that they experience
God’s love and grace
through personal study
of His Word.
Thank your for your vital partnership,
