Sunday, 3rd: WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU HAVE LEARNED IN THESE LESSONS? Miss G… (age 20) wrote: “Sexual love is that special most intimate love between a husband and wife which should be saved for that one person. Please pray for my mom that she gets a better job where she doesn’t have to stand on her feet all day. She is in so much pain. Thank you! Love, Breann.” Praise God – “Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a man can commit is outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.” (1 Cor 6:18)! Pray Breann keeps studying & as she asks above.
Monday, 4th: “Le doy gracias [I give thanks] to God for the precious ministry He has given you. Your courses have helped numerous people and I am thankful for all the lessons. I’ve learned mucho and been helped mucho in my personal and spiritual life. I am thankful for how God disciplines and teaches me on how to be more like He desires. He has changed the way I think and I’ve learned to give all my problems to mi Señor Jesús.” (Inmate Francisco D… said he was born again, on 01-31-23, while doing lessons #1 and #2 of the first study we sent.) Praise God – “And I will give them singleness of heart and put a new spirit within them; I will remove their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh,” (Ezekiel 11:19)! Pray Francisco shares the gospel boldly.

Wednesday, 6th: Rhett G… (age 6) began to study with his mom’s help on 7-25-22. We had his first study’s test pages processed on 8-2-22. We saw that Rhett had asked the Lord Jesus to forgive him and to be his Savior on 7-28-22. While currently doing course #2, he highlighted: “Jesus wants to forgive others.” Praise God – “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” (Luke 19:10)! Pray Rhett and his mom encourage family and friends to sign up for studies.
Thursday, 7th: “Mr. Evans, I enjoyed these lessons. Thanks for writing, it made the whole study more personal. My program at Potters House is going really well. God has replaced my shortcomings with holy habits. I study Scripture when I have free time. And God has shown me that He has a purpose for me. I got a new roommate and he’s completely new to Christ. It’s been an amazing feeling to have God use me to speak life to this young man. Your studies have sharpened my knowledge to know exactly where to start sharing. Kyle S…” Praise God – “For in Him you have been enriched in every way, in all speech and all knowledge,” (1 Corinthians 1:5)! Pray Kyle studies diligently and shares God’s word intentionally, following Scripture closely.

Thank you, Kimberly M…” (She’s a new believer and she requested studies for her cellmate Kayla T…, also, on 10-16-23; Kayla’s lessons aren’t getting torn up – PTL!)

Saturday, 9th: “Thank you for having patience with me. God is holding me up and healing my body. I am teaching Bible study classes at my church with your lessons. Can you send me an extra copy so I can make copies for my classes? Yours in Christ, Norvaleen B…” (All our courses are under International Copyright.) Praise God – “Consequently, whoever resists authority is opposing what God has set in place, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.” (Rom 13:2)!
