Soldiers of Christ Prison Ministries

Student Prayer Requests - September 30, 2012

 

 

Greetings

 

Anthony a student and graduate for all three of the Discipleship classes was paroled September 25. Though it is a day of joy it is bittersweet joy. Anthony is a good-hearted and caring person. He would always be certain to seek prayer for Michelle in her support of me in ministry and be certain every week to tell me to eat planning of fruits and raw veggies.

 

He hopefully has been reunited with his son Stephen, attending to the needs of his mom Loretta and sharing the gospel to them and his brothers Pete & George.

 

I'm a softie in getting attached to these guys but there are always those individuals God brings into our lives and places them in the most tender parts of our hearts. Anthony is one.

 

May you be the dad you so richly seek in being to your son Stephen, a caring son to your mother and a testimony of God's transforming work in your life to them and your brothers George and Pete.

 

May you Anthony as a soldiers of Christ here those words 'Well done my good and faithful servant.' I look forward to the day we are reunited in the Kingdom and break bread but until that day may you glorify Him and enjoy Him. 

 

Glory to Him and Him alone. 

 

Scott
