To Everyone at Revelation Bible Ministry,

Bless you all! May God continue to show His love and providence through the work that you do.  I received my NKJV Compact red-letter Bible that you sent, today.  It is the most beautiful gift I have received in all my time in prison.  This Bible is more than I could have hoped for and above all, you’ve taken time to make beloved passages.  I see in the newsletter the photos of all the volunteers sending out the Scripture, and my heart is filled with gratitude and brotherly love.  Please know that what you do has great meaning.  You’ve heeded the call to share the Gospel, and by doing so you bring light and hope to those in darkness. There could be no higher purpose, or greater expression of loving kindness.  Again, bless you.

Personally, it means that I can continue on my path of discovery of God’s love for me through the Word.  I, and many prisoners like me, desperately need that love.  We need to feel that connection with our Creator, as we are disconnected from all else. The comfort I find in the Bible truly keeps me going.

This Bible will also be one of the tools I use to give testimony to others.  God willing, men may be saved. 

I have very little.  I do have some stamps, but my family sacrifices a lot to provide the few I have.  I must use my postage to keep in contact with my loved ones. What I can provide is prayer, and my promise that, like you, I will go on and share the Gospel with others.  I also offer my sincere thanks.  Thank you all for this lovely gift.  I will treasure it always. 

Humbly, your brother in Christ, Michael

P.S. The prison personnel defaced the cover with permanent marker (my name, CDCR #, and housing) I filed a complaint in the hopes that they treat Bibles as SACRED from now on.  I don’t require anything from you good folks, but maybe send a note along with the Bibles asking prison personal to do respectfully, and not write on the outside of the Bible.  For future reference.
