Greetings Friends and Ministry Partners,
We have seen God’s leading the past two months in the ministry. I am excited about what has taken place in just the past month.
The Greenville News did a profile on the ministry August 1st and since that time we have received three contacts from DSS in Greenville, South Carolina Federal Parole Board and Perry Correctional Institution interested in forming partnerships with us. I also had a call from the Senior Chaplain at Leath Correctional Institution a women’s facility which wants us to teach a Life Skills Class for the women. Friends, these are great opportunities for us to share the Good News of Jesus Christ and see Kingdom growth. I need your prayers as we seek God’s will in these matters. These
opportunities will give us openings to reach entire families for the Kingdom, but it will be huge undertaking. Please pray as we wait to see what God’s going to do. In addition to the above, I met with Child Evangelism Fellowship this past Friday who would like to partner with us to reach more children for Christ. The partnership would give us the materials needed to reach the children of the families we already work with.
We conducted five seminars in July and August, of which four were in conjunction with Forgiven Ministry One Day with God Camps. We witnessed fifty-seven individuals pray to receive Christ as Lord and Savior and several rededicate their lives. Praise to God for what we are witnessing through His powerful word. It’s so rewarding seeing how God is changing the lives of dads and moms in order to bless their children.
I thank each of you for your prayers and financial support for the ministry. I know some of you are already giving sacrificially to help us reach lost and hurting individuals for Christ, but as we face the last days before Christ return the need continues to grow. We have four projects starting this month with eighty-five participants at a cost of thirty dollars each. I would like to ask you to pray and seek God to show you how many of these individuals He would have you sponsor. I thank you in advance for what you will do and I’m asking God to bless you abundantly for the support. I love each of you and thank God for your
faithfulness.

Board Members, Thanks for your faithful support and service.
In His Service,

So shall My word be which goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me empty,
Without accomplishing what I desire,
And without succeeding in the matter
for which I sent it. NAS
