As human beings,
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
our need for social
interaction is huge.
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.57
Stay tuned to learn about
the most important relationship
00:00:04.60\00:00:07.70
you could ever form.
00:00:07.74\00:00:09.07
They try to change
us from the outside in,
00:00:13.68\00:00:16.08
and that's never going to work.
00:00:16.11\00:00:19.21
Because I know that no matter
00:00:19.25\00:00:20.82
how hard and cold
the exterior may seem,
00:00:20.85\00:00:24.19
I know that inside we hurt.
00:00:24.22\00:00:27.19
So we just want to come
and share some hope with you
00:00:27.22\00:00:30.33
and let you know
that we love you,
00:00:30.36\00:00:32.16
and that Jesus loves you
00:00:32.19\00:00:34.63
beyond anybody in this world.
00:00:34.66\00:00:38.70
I'm not here today to
judge you or condemn you,
00:00:38.73\00:00:40.64
we're today to tell
you that we love you
00:00:40.67\00:00:42.30
and we understand the
situation that you're in.
00:00:42.34\00:00:45.11
Hello, I'm Jason Bradley,
00:00:50.95\00:00:52.28
and I'm so glad that you
decided to join us today.
00:00:52.31\00:00:54.62
I'm here with my
brother in Christ,
00:00:54.65\00:00:56.52
Brother Lemuel Vega,
we do ministry together.
00:00:56.55\00:00:59.59
We've gone into many prisons
00:00:59.62\00:01:02.06
and ministered to
those that are incarcerated.
00:01:02.09\00:01:04.63
Tell us a little bit
about Christmas Behind Bars?
00:01:04.66\00:01:06.49
You know, Christmas Behind Bars,
00:01:06.53\00:01:07.86
Jason, is our prayer
desire is to bring hope
00:01:07.90\00:01:10.77
to the men and women
and that are behind bars,
00:01:10.80\00:01:12.83
'cause they feel
hopeless and they're really not.
00:01:12.87\00:01:14.80
They're in a prime
position to go upward, you know?
00:01:14.84\00:01:19.47
And you spoke about the
most important relationship
00:01:19.51\00:01:22.88
is with Jesus,
that relationship.
00:01:22.91\00:01:25.51
In our world today
with social distancing
00:01:25.55\00:01:28.02
and people being alienated
00:01:28.05\00:01:29.75
from their families and
their friends and society,
00:01:29.78\00:01:32.59
that actually
suicide is on the rise
00:01:32.62\00:01:35.32
during incarceration
and so they feel so alone.
00:01:35.36\00:01:38.69
But as we have the
opportunity to partner together,
00:01:38.73\00:01:41.16
3ABN and Christmas Behind
Bars, literature material,
00:01:41.20\00:01:44.90
evangelism, food,
grocery sacks, hygiene items,
00:01:44.93\00:01:49.24
to bring hope to the prisoners.
00:01:49.27\00:01:51.01
And the beauty of
Christmas Behind Bars,
00:01:51.04\00:01:52.81
Brother, is every
inmate in the whole prison
00:01:52.84\00:01:56.08
receives a package.
00:01:56.11\00:01:57.45
Wow.
00:01:57.48\00:01:58.81
It's not just to
the ones that come out
00:01:58.85\00:02:00.18
to the Thursday
night Bible study
00:02:00.22\00:02:01.55
or the Friday evening gathering
00:02:01.58\00:02:03.08
or the service on the weekend,
00:02:03.12\00:02:04.79
it's about every
inmate receives something.
00:02:04.82\00:02:08.72
And, you know,
00:02:08.76\00:02:10.09
we actually got a
letter from an inmate,
00:02:10.13\00:02:12.43
from the Statesville
Correctional Facility,
00:02:12.46\00:02:14.20
just north of here,
in Joliet, Illinois,
00:02:14.23\00:02:16.67
and this Christian
brother wrote to this inmate,
00:02:16.70\00:02:19.10
wrote this letter,
inmate wrote this letter
00:02:19.13\00:02:22.14
and he said that he
gave his package away
00:02:22.17\00:02:25.74
and I'm thinking,
"Three thousand packages,
00:02:25.77\00:02:27.94
you gave your package away?"
00:02:27.98\00:02:30.05
I begin to read the letter
and there was this Muslim man
00:02:30.08\00:02:33.72
on his dormitory who
turned the package down
00:02:33.75\00:02:37.59
because it had to
do with Christianity,
00:02:37.62\00:02:39.22
so the Muslim man said, no,
00:02:39.25\00:02:40.66
he said, I don't
want the package.
00:02:40.69\00:02:42.02
The officer went on down,
00:02:42.06\00:02:43.39
didn't give him a package
00:02:43.43\00:02:44.76
and this Christian brother
over here saw that take place.
00:02:44.79\00:02:48.10
He took the
literature out of the bag,
00:02:48.13\00:02:50.37
he put some new socks in there,
00:02:50.40\00:02:52.00
he put some
other items in the bag,
00:02:52.03\00:02:53.74
folded it up
and he wrote a note,
00:02:53.77\00:02:55.74
"There's no strings attached,
00:02:55.77\00:02:57.11
this package is a
gift and it's for you."
00:02:57.14\00:02:59.84
Let me tell you what happened.
00:02:59.87\00:03:01.28
That man came
back to his bed area.
00:03:01.31\00:03:04.25
He picked up the
bag, he read the letter,
00:03:04.28\00:03:08.12
he began opening the bag
and taking out the contents
00:03:08.15\00:03:10.59
and laying around his bed
00:03:10.62\00:03:12.55
and then he stood
up and the letter said
00:03:12.59\00:03:15.46
that this man spoke
loudly over the gallery,
00:03:15.49\00:03:18.46
dormitory area.
00:03:18.49\00:03:20.00
He said, "I don't know
00:03:20.03\00:03:21.36
which one of you Christian
brothers gave this to me"
00:03:21.40\00:03:24.70
he said, "But I
thank you and your God."
00:03:24.73\00:03:29.14
Wow.
00:03:29.17\00:03:30.51
This man, I think
he was in his 70s,
00:03:30.54\00:03:32.67
he was older,
he'd lost his family,
00:03:32.71\00:03:34.21
didn't have anybody
to come and see him,
00:03:34.24\00:03:35.58
no support.
00:03:35.61\00:03:36.95
So this Christian
man gave up his package
00:03:36.98\00:03:39.51
that this
individual could see God's love
00:03:39.55\00:03:41.78
and so that's amazing.
00:03:41.82\00:03:43.15
So one simple
story of the ministry
00:03:43.18\00:03:45.25
and 3ABN donated
materials for those bags
00:03:45.29\00:03:47.92
and Christmas Behind Bars going,
00:03:47.96\00:03:49.76
so we thank you
for the partnership.
00:03:49.79\00:03:51.56
That's huge.
00:03:51.59\00:03:52.93
You know, like, when
people are incarcerated
00:03:52.96\00:03:54.90
and everything, they
don't have much, right?
00:03:54.93\00:03:57.07
So that is a form
of sacrificial giving.
00:03:57.10\00:03:59.23
He gave up his bag
00:03:59.27\00:04:01.84
and then that Muslim
man thanked the Christians
00:04:01.87\00:04:05.67
and the
Christian's God, our God.
00:04:05.71\00:04:08.88
And our heavenly Father gave
up His only begotten Son Jesus,
00:04:08.91\00:04:11.61
to die upon the cross of Calvary
00:04:11.65\00:04:13.72
that we have the opportunity
to proclaim the gospel.
00:04:13.75\00:04:16.18
Today we have some food here,
00:04:16.22\00:04:17.59
this is a little
podium, makeshift podium.
00:04:17.62\00:04:19.12
Our prison podium?
00:04:19.15\00:04:20.49
Prison podium.
00:04:20.52\00:04:21.86
All right.
00:04:21.89\00:04:23.22
And we got some things here
00:04:23.26\00:04:24.59
and I'd like to
talk about the apples.
00:04:24.63\00:04:25.96
Okay.
00:04:25.99\00:04:27.33
Is there a scripture
that would tie in with that?
00:04:27.36\00:04:29.00
I think there is.
00:04:29.03\00:04:30.37
I think we can find one right
here in Psalm Chapter 34:8.
00:04:30.40\00:04:34.70
"O taste and see
that the Lord is good:
00:04:34.74\00:04:37.61
blessed is the
man who trusts in him.
00:04:37.64\00:04:41.11
O taste and see
that the Lord is good."
00:04:41.14\00:04:46.01
You know, I have
something in my hand
00:04:46.05\00:04:48.95
and I'm going to ask
the audience what this is.
00:04:48.98\00:04:51.52
What is this here?
00:04:51.55\00:04:52.89
I mean, if you look at this,
what would you think this is?
00:04:52.92\00:04:55.12
You perceive this is something.
00:04:55.16\00:04:58.03
Brother, I'm gonna ask you...
I'm going to give this to you
00:04:58.06\00:05:00.13
and I'd like you
to tell our audience
00:05:00.16\00:05:01.96
and tell me what that is?
00:05:02.00\00:05:04.20
It's an apple.
00:05:04.23\00:05:06.40
You can tell by
the way it looks,
00:05:06.43\00:05:08.47
by the way it smells.
00:05:08.50\00:05:09.84
Okay.
00:05:09.87\00:05:11.21
It looks and
smells like an apple.
00:05:11.24\00:05:12.57
Okay.
00:05:12.61\00:05:13.94
Well, you think that's an apple.
00:05:13.98\00:05:15.31
There's a lot of fake
things in the world today,
00:05:15.34\00:05:16.68
they got plastic
apples all, what is that?
00:05:16.71\00:05:18.05
Well, that's another
apple, the different kind.
00:05:18.08\00:05:20.35
Another apple.
00:05:20.38\00:05:21.72
Again, it looks like an apple.
00:05:21.75\00:05:23.28
It looks like an
apple, but until we do,
00:05:23.32\00:05:26.12
so what was the
scripture, Brother?
00:05:26.15\00:05:27.76
O taste and see
that the Lord is good.
00:05:27.79\00:05:30.53
How can we tell whether
this really an apple or not?
00:05:30.56\00:05:32.39
If you taste it.
00:05:32.43\00:05:33.76
Taste it.
00:05:33.80\00:05:35.13
How's it taste?
00:05:37.70\00:05:39.03
Man, that is a good
apple and that is sweet.
00:05:39.07\00:05:43.07
What I like to
tell the world today,
00:05:43.10\00:05:47.78
we need to taste and
see that God is really good
00:05:47.81\00:05:52.78
and as we begin to experience
of who He is in our lives,
00:05:52.81\00:05:57.22
we begin to find
comfort, peace, hope.
00:05:57.25\00:06:00.79
You have an apple.
00:06:00.82\00:06:02.46
I hope you enjoy your apple.
00:06:02.49\00:06:03.83
Thank you.
00:06:03.86\00:06:05.19
You're very welcome.
00:06:05.23\00:06:06.56
Oh, you've got another apple.
00:06:06.59\00:06:07.93
Thank you very much.
00:06:07.96\00:06:09.30
Nice. Nice.
00:06:09.33\00:06:10.67
Brother, what would you
say about the tasting aspect,
00:06:10.70\00:06:12.47
about a relationship with Jesus?
00:06:12.50\00:06:14.07
What would you
share with the world
00:06:14.10\00:06:16.20
about how that
became real in your life
00:06:16.24\00:06:19.24
and promise them wherever
they are on this spectrum
00:06:19.27\00:06:21.41
that there's hope for their life
00:06:21.44\00:06:22.78
if they continue on?
00:06:22.81\00:06:24.15
I would say that a
relationship with Christ
00:06:24.18\00:06:25.85
is the most important,
most impactful relationship
00:06:25.88\00:06:29.08
that a human
being could ever have.
00:06:29.12\00:06:31.49
You know, I like to eat, right?
00:06:31.52\00:06:33.79
So I love food,
00:06:33.82\00:06:35.16
but I don't just
want to watch people eat,
00:06:35.19\00:06:37.43
I don't want to... Have it.
00:06:37.46\00:06:38.79
No.
00:06:38.83\00:06:41.23
But I don't want to
just watch people eat, right?
00:06:41.26\00:06:43.90
I want to
partake of that myself.
00:06:43.93\00:06:46.13
Amen.
00:06:46.17\00:06:47.50
So when I hear about what
God has done for the human race,
00:06:47.54\00:06:51.67
how Jesus came and
died on the cross for us
00:06:51.71\00:06:55.34
that while we were yet sinners,
00:06:55.38\00:06:57.15
like, He still
came and died for us.
00:06:57.18\00:06:59.28
If it were just you,
00:06:59.31\00:07:00.65
He would have died for just you.
00:07:00.68\00:07:02.02
Amen.
00:07:02.05\00:07:03.39
If it were just me, He
would have died for just me.
00:07:03.42\00:07:04.75
And if it were you at home,
00:07:04.79\00:07:06.12
He would have died for just you.
00:07:06.15\00:07:07.49
And I think that is one
of the most powerful things,
00:07:07.52\00:07:10.46
most powerful forms of love.
00:07:10.49\00:07:12.56
And so that
relationship with Christ
00:07:12.59\00:07:15.50
is above all
other relationships.
00:07:15.53\00:07:18.60
And He accepts
us just as we are.
00:07:18.63\00:07:20.74
We don't get all
polished up first.
00:07:20.77\00:07:22.80
He accepts us just as we
are and then we get polished up,
00:07:22.84\00:07:26.51
cleansed up and then we're
able to be a blessing and fruit
00:07:26.54\00:07:28.84
to somebody
else for His kingdom.
00:07:28.88\00:07:30.21
That's right.
00:07:30.25\00:07:31.58
And He wants us to abide in Him.
00:07:31.61\00:07:32.95
Abide in Him.
00:07:32.98\00:07:34.32
Yes.
00:07:34.35\00:07:35.68
So if we go to John 15:1-2
00:07:35.72\00:07:37.59
and then we'll jump
down to verse 4, it says,
00:07:37.62\00:07:39.62
"I am the true vine,"
this is Jesus speaking,
00:07:39.65\00:07:42.62
"and my Father
is the vine dresser.
00:07:42.66\00:07:44.96
Every branch in Me
that does not bear fruit,
00:07:44.99\00:07:47.73
He takes away, and
every branch that bears fruit,
00:07:47.76\00:07:51.30
He prunes, that it
may bear more fruit.
00:07:51.33\00:07:55.14
Abide in Me, and I in you.
00:07:55.17\00:07:57.61
As the branch cannot
bear fruit of itself,
00:07:57.64\00:08:00.41
unless it abides in the vine,
00:08:00.44\00:08:02.41
neither can you
unless you abide in Me."
00:08:02.44\00:08:05.45
Amen.
00:08:05.48\00:08:06.82
So it talks about the vine
00:08:06.85\00:08:08.18
and it talks
about the vine as Jesus?
00:08:08.22\00:08:09.72
Yes.
00:08:09.75\00:08:11.09
So here's the vine
00:08:11.12\00:08:12.69
and so we begin
to produce fruit.
00:08:12.72\00:08:14.96
You talked about
something that He purges in,
00:08:14.99\00:08:17.26
He pruneth it.
00:08:17.29\00:08:18.63
He pruneth it and so
as we come to Christ,
00:08:18.66\00:08:21.66
we grow with Christ, then
He begins to prune things,
00:08:21.70\00:08:25.13
like a tree gets pruned
00:08:25.17\00:08:26.50
and sometimes
that can be hurtful
00:08:26.53\00:08:28.04
at the time.
00:08:28.07\00:08:29.40
But the pruning process helps us
00:08:29.44\00:08:30.91
to produce more fruit.
00:08:30.94\00:08:32.27
That's right.
00:08:32.31\00:08:33.64
So as we come to
Christ, we can't just say,
00:08:33.68\00:08:35.01
"Hey, I'm a Christian now
and I'm going to abide alone."
00:08:35.04\00:08:37.91
He wants us to stay engrafted
into the family of Christ.
00:08:37.95\00:08:40.55
Amen?
00:08:40.58\00:08:41.92
Amen.
00:08:41.95\00:08:43.28
So as far as on this
journey wherever you are,
00:08:43.32\00:08:45.12
Christ wants to
engraft us into the vine,
00:08:45.15\00:08:49.12
that we may have a relationship
with our heavenly Father
00:08:49.16\00:08:51.49
through Jesus.
00:08:51.53\00:08:52.86
Amen? Amen.
00:08:52.89\00:08:54.23
What would you share brother
in closing on this journey,
00:08:54.26\00:08:56.77
and how it's so worthwhile?
00:08:56.80\00:08:58.83
Well, I would say that,
00:08:58.87\00:09:00.20
you know, when
we abide in Christ,
00:09:00.24\00:09:02.64
we have a place
to put our cares,
00:09:02.67\00:09:05.74
to cast our burdens,
00:09:05.77\00:09:07.91
a person to give our anxiety to.
00:09:07.94\00:09:10.95
We don't need to worry about
00:09:10.98\00:09:12.31
what's going to
happen the next day,
00:09:12.35\00:09:13.82
God provides for
all of our needs.
00:09:13.85\00:09:16.25
And so He wants
us to come to Him
00:09:16.28\00:09:18.72
with whatever
we're going through,
00:09:18.75\00:09:20.09
with whatever
we're struggling with.
00:09:20.12\00:09:21.69
You know, this is
a time of isolation,
00:09:21.72\00:09:23.69
a time of loneliness,
00:09:23.73\00:09:25.06
a time of people
being in quarantine
00:09:25.09\00:09:27.43
and all of these things
and solitary confinement
00:09:27.46\00:09:30.70
and inmates not being able
to come out and all of that.
00:09:30.73\00:09:34.70
But God still wants to speak
with each and every one of us
00:09:34.74\00:09:37.87
and I think that's crucial,
00:09:37.91\00:09:39.24
especially in a
time such as this.
00:09:39.27\00:09:41.11
I like what you said
about abiding in Him today
00:09:41.14\00:09:44.55
and holding on to today,
00:09:44.58\00:09:46.05
'cause if we worry
about cares of tomorrow.
00:09:46.08\00:09:47.45
Yeah.
00:09:47.48\00:09:48.82
If we worry about the past
and the burdens of yesterday,
00:09:48.85\00:09:51.69
then we lose today and
that's what we have today.
00:09:51.72\00:09:54.49
We've been granted this day
00:09:54.52\00:09:56.16
to grow in a personal
relationship with Him.
00:09:56.19\00:09:57.96
This is awesome
00:09:57.99\00:09:59.33
to be able to
share with our viewers
00:09:59.36\00:10:00.70
what we do do
behind bars to share hope
00:10:00.73\00:10:03.33
with people that are hurting.
00:10:03.37\00:10:05.87
I grew up with alcoholic parents
00:10:05.90\00:10:08.17
and my father was
in and out of our home.
00:10:08.20\00:10:11.21
But at age 16,
00:10:11.24\00:10:12.64
I started
experiencing with marijuana
00:10:12.67\00:10:17.15
and then it lead into cocaine
and then it lead into crack.
00:10:17.18\00:10:21.75
I ended up quitting
school my senior year,
00:10:21.78\00:10:24.45
September of my senior year.
00:10:24.49\00:10:26.25
At age 26, I started doing meth.
00:10:26.29\00:10:29.79
I'm a bigger
girl so I lost weight,
00:10:29.82\00:10:32.09
so it became very
addictive very fast.
00:10:32.13\00:10:35.26
I've been in out of jail.
00:10:35.30\00:10:37.17
I honestly can't even tell
you how many times, it's a lot.
00:10:37.20\00:10:41.27
When Christmas
Behind Bars came in,
00:10:41.30\00:10:44.57
I actually was still in bed
00:10:44.61\00:10:47.18
and I just kept hearing him
00:10:47.21\00:10:51.38
talk about how God
had changed his life.
00:10:51.41\00:10:54.48
And, I mean, I've never seen it,
00:10:54.52\00:10:57.72
I've never heard your story
and it really gives us hope.
00:10:57.75\00:11:02.09
And I instantly
had to come to my door
00:11:02.12\00:11:06.26
and I didn't want to interrupt,
00:11:06.29\00:11:07.63
so I just stood at
my door and listened
00:11:07.66\00:11:09.46
and it was such
an inspiring story.
00:11:09.50\00:11:12.93
This time in my incarceration,
I have never been more serious
00:11:12.97\00:11:18.54
than other of my
other incarcerations.
00:11:18.57\00:11:21.31
I have really just dove
into the Bible, I've been,
00:11:21.34\00:11:24.95
you know, praying
for the Holy Spirit
00:11:24.98\00:11:27.35
and it all started
00:11:27.38\00:11:28.72
with Christmas
Behind Bars, really.
00:11:28.75\00:11:32.05
So your story was really amazing
00:11:32.09\00:11:34.79
and then the gifts was
awesome too, so thank you.
00:11:34.82\00:11:40.16
How have you seen
it make an impact?
00:11:40.20\00:11:43.00
Maybe share another story
00:11:43.03\00:11:44.93
about a life
that has been touched?
00:11:44.97\00:11:46.53
You know, there was this
lady, she was in the county jail
00:11:46.57\00:11:50.04
and she'd gotten arrested.
00:11:50.07\00:11:51.64
And so she's in the
jail just like we are today
00:11:51.67\00:11:54.64
and she got arrested
00:11:54.68\00:11:56.01
and someone told
her about the Sabbath.
00:11:56.04\00:11:58.88
Someone told her
about the Sabbath, said,
00:11:58.91\00:12:00.25
hey, you know, da-da-da, da-da.
00:12:00.28\00:12:01.82
She's like, "Oh, wow."
00:12:01.85\00:12:03.18
Okay, I don't know
if first she heard that.
00:12:03.22\00:12:04.55
But she'd gotten
into some trouble
00:12:04.59\00:12:05.99
and then they put her
in solitary confinement.
00:12:06.02\00:12:08.36
Cell by yourself, no
contact with nobody else,
00:12:08.39\00:12:11.09
and lo and behold
brother, you know what?
00:12:11.13\00:12:13.19
It was written on the
wall, that the Sabbath,
00:12:13.23\00:12:16.33
the seventh day
Sabbath is Saturday.
00:12:16.36\00:12:18.93
Yeah.
00:12:18.97\00:12:20.30
So She's in
solitary confinement,
00:12:20.34\00:12:21.67
someone had kicked
it with her in the pod
00:12:21.70\00:12:23.34
and told her about the Sabbath,
00:12:23.37\00:12:24.71
she heard about it for
the first time in her life.
00:12:24.74\00:12:26.41
She gets put in
solitary confinement
00:12:26.44\00:12:27.84
for whatever happened
00:12:27.88\00:12:29.21
and it's written on the wall
00:12:29.24\00:12:30.58
about the Sabbath
being the seventh day.
00:12:30.61\00:12:32.18
Amen? Amen.
00:12:32.21\00:12:33.55
And Dick is here.
00:12:33.58\00:12:34.92
In her bag,
00:12:34.95\00:12:36.28
she got the book out
of 30 different books
00:12:36.32\00:12:38.05
that we use, she got the book,
00:12:38.09\00:12:40.06
Ten Commandments Twice Removed,
00:12:40.09\00:12:41.59
by Shelley Quinn
and Danny Shelton.
00:12:41.62\00:12:43.76
She wrote this
beautiful letter and she said,
00:12:43.79\00:12:45.73
"I now know without
a shadow of a doubt,
00:12:45.76\00:12:48.10
God orchestrated
someone to tell her,
00:12:48.13\00:12:50.87
God orchestrated
someone to write upon that wall
00:12:50.90\00:12:53.10
knowing she'd be
the recipient of that
00:12:53.13\00:12:55.10
and God
orchestrated one of 30 books,
00:12:55.14\00:12:57.44
the one that she needed
00:12:57.47\00:12:59.87
to allow her to know the truth."
00:12:59.91\00:13:01.34
That is huge.
00:13:01.38\00:13:02.71
Praise God.
00:13:02.74\00:13:04.08
And what could have seemed
like a messed up situation,
00:13:04.11\00:13:07.38
God used for
His honor and glory.
00:13:07.42\00:13:09.55
And so she learned something,
00:13:09.58\00:13:11.55
you know, about the Sabbath,
something very important.
00:13:11.59\00:13:13.39
Amen. Yes.
00:13:13.42\00:13:14.76
And she can share that.
00:13:14.79\00:13:16.12
She'll share that
with other people.
00:13:16.16\00:13:17.49
You know, we need Bibles,
we're in a need of Bibles
00:13:17.53\00:13:19.83
and homemade
thinking of you cards
00:13:19.86\00:13:21.63
that this minister,
we continue to pass out,
00:13:21.66\00:13:23.50
use Bibles until
people can send those to us
00:13:23.53\00:13:25.87
or get them to 3ABN
00:13:25.90\00:13:27.34
and so we could
share used Bibles
00:13:27.37\00:13:28.74
and homemade
thinking of you cards.
00:13:28.77\00:13:30.14
Yes, absolutely.
00:13:30.17\00:13:31.51
And when you send those,
00:13:31.54\00:13:33.64
you know, you've
been incarcerated,
00:13:33.68\00:13:35.01
how important is it to
receive something like that?
00:13:35.04\00:13:37.41
Oh, at mail call,
they don't get mail,
00:13:37.45\00:13:40.68
they don't get letters
00:13:40.72\00:13:42.05
and so every
letter, thinking of you card
00:13:42.08\00:13:43.79
we give them is
worth its weight in gold.
00:13:43.82\00:13:45.25
Amen.
00:13:45.29\00:13:46.62
Thank you.
00:13:46.65\00:13:47.99
Every life
committed to Christ...
00:13:48.02\00:13:49.36
That's right.
00:13:49.39\00:13:50.73
Is worth it.
00:13:50.76\00:13:52.09
That's right. You
can't put a price on a soul.
00:13:52.13\00:13:53.46
Thank you for what you're
doing and thank you for sharing
00:13:53.50\00:13:54.93
these practical
illustrations with us.
00:13:54.96\00:13:56.97
We want to encourage you
to give your heart to the Lord
00:13:57.00\00:14:00.37
if you haven't done so already.
00:14:00.40\00:14:01.97
Spend time with Christ.
00:14:02.00\00:14:03.71
Remember, He loves you
with an everlasting love.
00:14:03.74\00:14:07.14
Till next time, God bless.
00:14:07.18\00:14:08.78
