Great spiritual results in South Florida March Prison Tour with 167 conversions throughout the week. Praise the Lord! Your prayers in action!

Pastor Tony,

   What a blessing it was for me to see The Solid Rock Ministries building the church behind bars! As the men returned for each session they were provided books and materials, ministered to and taught God's word. The first night I was able to pray with John, a very sad man who was having a hard time forgiving some people in his past. After I prayed and we talked I suggested that he needed to talk with God and get the issue settled. He did so that night and came to every session after that with a smile on his face.

May the Lord continue to bless as lives are changed…   Larry Satmary
Dear Sue,

   After we finished the yard concert in South Florida Reception Center, a relatively tough-looking inmate came up to me and took my hand and said, "You have no idea how much it means to us for you guys to come here and go through all this trouble and do all this work to play for us. Nobody else does this. Other churches come here but they don't do this. That means a lot to us, thank you so much"! His eyes were moist.

   My take away is that when they realize what we go through to bring our program to them with the quality that we bring and that we really do go the extra mile, we earn a place of respect in their minds and even their hearts which causes them to pay attention to the words we bring after the music is silent.

   As we play and share you can see the hard postures soften and the walls come down. Not always, but most days. God uses what we do to till the soil, peel back the scales and create fertile ground into to which the unfailing Word of God can be planted with high hopes of growing strong.   Eric Bright
