I was working at the prison last week and a girl asked me for a Bible. I brought her one and told her how to read it. She was so thankful…even for the encouragement of spending a moment of time sharing the Love of God with her. I felt His presence all around His Word as it went forth into her heart.

O’ to see the face of hope come over these ones is very encouraging. They are so hungry for Hope. Jesus is all that and so much more. To bring in the tool of Hope is such a privilege. Won’t you join me.

The Chaplain told me the Bibles I have should go to Cook County Jail. He also informed me that he had another Chaplain friend there and would love to get these in such a dark hopeless place.

I am asking you once again to agree with me for His abundant provision to get these Bibles in the hands of people in prisons.Jesus Bless you all. Kathy Lang

Hi Brenda,

The past two week has been absolutely amazing.  I was working with a doctor who told one of my girls that the Bible won’t help her. He told her only her mind would help her. He meant well but pulled the faith rug out from under her.  She became perplexed.  I was able to see her again a few days later and we talked about some verses in Colossians 3. We also talked about how when some people think they are wise and have the solutions in their own minds they do not acknowledge the Creator of heaven and earth.

We discussed what it says in the book of Romans 1:21-23…how people knew God, but they did not honor Him as God, and they did not thank Him. All their ideas were and are useless. Nothing has changed.

There was not one good thought left in their foolish minds.  They said they were wise, but they became fools.  Instead of honoring the divine greatness of God, who lives forever, they traded it for the worship of idols… (things) made to look like humans…who by their very nature eventually get sick and die, or like birds, animals, and snakes.  They worship the created and not the Creator.

I know the doctor meant well but the only hope for any of us is Jesus there is “No Other Hope” for any of us outside of Him. From the smartest, the most successful, the homeless, prisoners or anyone in between there is no exception…no other answer other than Jesus.  From the least to the greatest, all need Jesus. He is the way and the only way.

We discussed how Jesus is not a crutch and instead is a life line to us all.  So talking with this girl who had already been in jail 8 times and seeing the hope return to her eyes was a miracle…a miracle with your help can repeat its self over and over and over until the prison system is filled with His glory.

As I read to her from the book of Colossians, she teared up at the realization someone cared enough to encourage her.  She told me that one of the girls in her area had been sharing with her from the Bible and encouraging her and another girl as well to read scripture. She encouraged them to meet afterwards and share what they read and how it helped build them up in their faith.

This was a girl I gave a Bible to awhile back and showed her how to read in such a way it made sense to her…sense enough to share.. To know she was sharing with others in their cottage area is a Wow kind of feeling. I was so excited and blessed by them giving each other the gift of “Life” and God’s love through the Bible.

Be encouraged at how He is working to bring Jesus to every prison baby (teenager) or adult for that matter.  Pray for His Word to spread from the kids and adults, like a fire of revival in the prisons. Pray for His Word to flow like a mighty river back into the homes and communities of those in prison. Pray for the transformation of whole families and entire communities.

After all, it took One to change the world and one submitted to Him still can. It only takes one person to change the world…it only takes you. Won’t you take a chance and help me purchase some Bibles and hear Him bless you on that day for helping the least of these.

Much Love in Jesus Holy Name, Kathy Lang

Brenda,

Hi,  Just to let you know last week I got 8 more cases of Bibles.  We just got into another new prison in an adult county jail.  I also supplied a few cases to the one I work at as a nurse.  The kids are able to take their Bibles home..I also have a new Juvenile facility to get Bibles into..so please agree with me in prayer for His Word to get into the hearts of these precious souls as well as their hands.  I have an awesome opportunity to pour these Bibles in to many prisons..and need your prayers and God’s provision.  Love in His Light & His precious Word,  Kathy Lang

Brenda,

Last night I witnessed to a kid who has been abusing drugs and is a very violent gang member. Wow, I think all of Heaven was rejoicing at this contact. I really felt His might love touching this kids heart. He accepted the Bible and told me I was very wise. It was Jesus speaking to his heart…I was just the earthen vessel willing to be used…I am learning that obedience is way better than sacrifice…much love in Him…Kathy Lang
