    follow You, rejoice, and keep ministering to my familyin what wisdom and opportunity You give me. In themeantime, I give each of my kids to You. . . Hearingthose words was worth more to me than all the lists ofnames of new converts I could have reported to you.But it doesn't sound as sensational. Guess you had tobe there

    Or takeCTom^Wfor example. e sbeen in the Lordfor several f fris now, and is working hard at beinga good Christian husband. His wife (not yet a Christian)lives in a slum condominium where drugs and murderare commonplace. She was raped and beaten, moved inwith another man (allegedly for protection), and now isin prostitution to make enough to feed her children.Tommy wavered between divorce and suicide for severalweeks while crying out to God for strength to bear thepr s sur

    Can I justify spending six or seven hours praying andreading Scriptures with Tommy alone while thousandsof other prisoners have not yet heard one word of theGospel?. . . while twenty-five men line up outside myoffice door waiting for hours for counseling from theWord of God?

    Local churches here. In Puerto Rico are really gettinginvolved In visiting prisoners, providing Bibles, counseling, sponsors, jobs, homes, etc., for the prisonersand ex-prisoners. What a blessing And what a jobin coordinating them
