Dear friends and partners,
I am so thankful to live in these
last days as we see such a hunger for the things of
God in the people we work with. Prisoners from around
the globe are writing and asking for my Bear and Dove
book. More than we can keep track of are taking the
"Bear Challenge", which is just another
way to say they are committing to live for Jesus all
the days of their lives. Local parolees that are coming
to our weekly meetings are making changes in their
lives as well. It's so exciting being a part of the
end time harvest!
The Monday night “Celebrate
People” support group meetings for parolees and
families of prisoners here at the ministry building
in Bristow has been growing each week with several new
salvations.
Update on Micah:
The
movie that Micah is the lead star in, Sybil Ludington,
will be filming from May 1st - May 20th. The planned
release date wil be in the fall of '09. Thanks so
much for your prayers -- this is not just a movie,
it's a move of God!

Kid's
Cowboy Day Camp is still going strong!
Since the Lord
has directed us to open our ranch as Crossroads Ranch
“Barn and Breakfast” we’ve hosted
several, week long “cowboy day camps. Our next
cowboy camp is coming up in June. Many of
the children that I have taken in so far as campers
have at least one parent in prison.
I can take
up to 12 kids— that’s
how many riding horses we have- and I teach them how
to ride, learn all the basics about horses, cook on
an open fire, drive a draft horse and do
all kinds of old west cowboy stuff. It’s really
an anointed time as I host them for five days at the
ranch and we are constantly teaching the Word of God
around the horse theme. The last day of camp the kids
have their own horse show to let their families see
all that they have learned at camp. Then I award each
child a trophy for completing the camp and I give
out other individual awards as well. It’s a
really special time.
Our website is
now up and running for the camp at: http://crossroadsbarnandbreakfast.com

Bear and Dove Book Update
I am still out of “A Bear
and A Dove” books here at Loving Hearts and
we must have over 500 requests piled up, waiting for
books. Bear’s story of faith and adventure has
touched the lives of prisoners. I know God will
meet every need and we stand firm in believing that
He will answer the desires of all the inmates and
Chaplains wanting a book. There are so many salvations
from prisoners reading my book and giving their hearts
to the Lord; it’s been the most fruitful tool
Loving Hearts has ever had available. Thank you for
praying about how you can help get more books printed
and home, then back out in the mail to the inmates
that are requesting them.
