Chuck Colson wrote the following for a fund-raising letter --for Prison
Fellowship:"I met a man at a Midwest church who had been locked up in one of the
meanest prisons in America. he'd been lost--that is, until he received an
Angel Tree application. Skeptical, he filled it out. But he
wondered, "Is this for real?" So imagine this joy when his children
received gifts! [As though from their father.] His eyes filled with tears, and he was changed forever."Then Chuck goes on to say this same man is now mentoring 50 other ex-offenders.
"When people see hardened convicts turning gentle as lambs and taking good
back into the stinking holes from which they've come, the reality of the
Gospel cannot be denied. The invisible kingdom is being made
visible in our midst."
They need year-end donations --address at their website.
"God is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance and have eternal life."--the Bible
