LAVISHED IN GOD'S LOVES

Good day,

My name is Isidro, and I am a believer and follower of Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior since March 2019.

Before I got locked up, I didn’t know anything about God or His ways other than the fact that I heard people talk about Him. It wasn’t until I got thrown in prison that I snapped into reality and asked myself the million-dollar question: “Is this what I want for the rest of my life to live in a prison away from my loved ones?”

But God knows what He is doing, and He had me exactly where He wanted me. And that’s when I put my guard down and fell to the feet of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I am a sinner that has been lavished in God’s love, grace, and forgiveness in Christ Jesus. I would love to get “fired up” and receive all the help I can so I can become spiritually stronger and face the world with all its temptations for my release. I will appreciate all the help you can give/send me while still in prison and out of prison if it is the Lord’s will. I would love to sign up for a free correspondence Bible study.

Thank you so much and may God bless you abundantly according to his riches in Christ Jesus.

Sincerely,

Isidro
