00:01 Lemuel, we've got another very special friend to join us,
00:04 Yvonne Lewis-Shelton, good to have you here.
00:06 Oh, this is...
00:08 I can't believe
00:09 what's going on here in the studio,
00:10 and it is incredible.
00:12 And it could happen in your garage,
00:14 at your university, at your academy,
00:17 you can do it anywhere.
00:20 Christmas Behind Bars is all year around.
00:24 To me, this ministry, this is one of my...
00:26 I have to say,
00:27 you're not supposed to have favorites, right,
00:29 but this is one of my all time favorite ministries
00:31 because I have had a chance to go out with you
00:35 and to minister to the inmates,
00:37 and you have no idea how this impacts their lives.
00:41 So please, please, sponsor,
00:44 Christmas Behind Bars, we need Bibles.
00:46 We need Bibles for the inmates.
00:49 We can include them in each package,
00:51 and we also need money for a warehouse.
00:54 You see what's going on behind here,
00:56 this could be going on in a warehouse
00:59 on a regular basis.
01:00 Please, please, reach out and help,
01:03 if you can't join,
01:05 you can send some money to help.
01:07 Thank you so much, God bless you.
01:09 God bless you, guys.
01:10 What an amazing ministry, you're doing a great job.
01:12 Christmas Behind Bars
01:13 has had to do some moving over the years.
01:17 They would like to have their own permanent warehouse
01:20 that they can control the space, the time
01:24 to put all these things together.
01:25 So that's one of the great needs
01:27 that you can help Christmas Behind Bars
01:28 with a warehouse to continue this great work.
01:33 Then they need Bibles and over and above Bibles,
01:36 we need to buy literature for all of these bags.
01:39 Lemuel, you were saying just a little bit ago,
01:41 you actually ran out of literature at one prison
01:43 and weren't able to put a piece of literature in each bag.
01:46 We went to every other bag
01:48 'cause we didn't have enough literature.
01:49 So we want to share the gospel
01:51 with every inmate in the whole prison,
01:52 not just those that come out to services.
01:55 As we said before,
01:56 one of the important parts of this distribution
01:59 is the spiritual content.
02:01 The goodies are good, but beyond the goodies,
02:04 we want to leave them with the Word of God.
02:06 So you can help with that.
02:07 So there's three big things, literature, Bibles,
02:11 and a warehouse to complete the work.
02:14 That's the current needs.
02:15 There are other needs,
02:17 but these are the needs that are pressing,
02:18 that are upfront, that you can help us with.
02:20 You got the information that you can contact them.
02:23 If you didn't get a chance to write it down,
02:25 call us here at 3ABN,
02:27 and we will be more than happy to get that information to you.
02:31 Lemuel, quick closing thoughts.
02:33 We wish you God's blessings,
02:35 and I believe without a shadow of doubt,
02:36 that you will see many people in the kingdom of heaven
02:38 because you were willing to help,
02:40 not only Christmas Behind Bars but 3ABN, God bless you.
02:44 Once again our time has fast slipped into eternity.
02:47 Allow me in closing to wish you both grace and peace
02:50 through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
02:52 We'll see you again soon. Bye-bye, and God bless.
