Good News Jail & Prison Ministry

Dear Victory Baptist Church,

We want to take this time to thank you for your faithful and generous gifts. Your partnership with us in this ministry has enabled us to finish 2008 well. In particular, the month of December was marked by a significant increase in support, enabling us to purchase more Bibles and special awards Bibles.

Overall, the year was incredibly blessed! There were more than 760 decisions for Christ, nearly 800 recommitments, and almost 8,000 Bibles and New Testaments handed out. Almost 19,000 lessons were graded and returned, and 45 award Bibles were given out. Those are wonderful statistics!

Consider this: In each lesson unit, there are 8 lessons, with 54 questions, and two essays. An inmate that completes all 28 units is awarded a special Bible. That is 11,796 questions answered and 428 essays!

You are a very special and vital party of this ministry. We love you and appreciate you, and look forward to seeing you at our annual banquet on April 24th.

God bless you,
Chaplain Paul Burress and Chaplain Ron Morse
