Sunday, 2nd: On May 24th, Portia A… emailed BSBM requesting Bible studies for her incarcerated son Larry A… She shared: “He is 40 years old and in jail for the hundredth time. I think he is an addict and needs some Bible studies to help him when reading the Bible. I am a praying mother and I know God has a plan for him. The only time he ever gets close to God is in jail or prison, but he never becomes strong enough to stay close to God when he gets out. Thank you!” (1st study sent 5/29/24.) Praise God – “Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.” (Matt. 7:24)! Pray Larry studies diligently & intentionally obeys w/o doubt.
