and encourage the kids.

"Sister Carolyn M."
is from Virginia and recently had open-heart surgery. Her husband also suffered from a heart attack earlier this year. Carolyn is one of my most dedicated
prayer intercessors.
John Hearn
is a long time friend of mine who is 80 years old and ministers to prison inmates as well as to those at a drug rehab center in his area. John has a heart
problem and is now recovering from total knee replacement surgery.
Tony and MaryAnn Loeffler
are of The Solid Rock Ministry in West Palm Beach, Florida. They minister to prisoners throughout the
United States as well as in other nations. They've given out thousands of copies of my testimony tract and they're often undergoing heavy spiritual warfare because
of their own evangelistic work. See Tony's recent letter.
My Story
Please pray for my story of hope and redemption to reach many more young persons, many who are what are called "at-risk" teens. I have a big heart for young people from all walks of life who
destroying themselves through drugs, crime, occult activities, gangs and all kinds of sins and vices. I have been in prison for almost thirty years and I want to warn
teenagers to make the right choices. Kids listen to me. Unfortunately many in the media demean and ridicule me, thus hindering me from reaching a generation of lost
youth who may be headed for prison or to an early grave. Please pray for an opening of more doors for me.
Carl Kallsen
is a businessman from Indiana who volunteers at a youth center for at-risk teens. Carl has been helping hundreds of these kids. He often shares my testimony/story.
He frequently shows my testimony films (The Choice is Yours and Son of Sam/Son of Hope
-available soon) to these young ones,
many who already have criminal records for juvenile offense
and may eventually graduate to more serious crimes if they're not reached with the gospel and by the life-changing power of Jesus Christ.
Pastor Jacob Atuliba
lives in Ghana, West Africa. I have been corresponding with Jacob for more than ten years. In early 2006, Jacob's church was burned to the ground. He suspects it was
torched by Muslim extremists from nearby, who live in a nation a short distance from where Pastor Atuliba lives.
See Jacob Atuliba's Wife and Their African Church.
Christian Literature for Africa
which comes out of Fort Wayne, Indiana, is one of my favorite ministries. These folks send Bibles and Christians books to parts of Africa.
