Sometimes life brings unexpected setbacks and perplexing questions. As the Apostle Paul said, “We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair” (2 Corinthians 4:8, ESV).
I can relate to Paul’s feelings in at least a small way as I consider the adventure and challenges of working in prison ministry. May each of us make his testimony our own—”We are always of good courage” (5:6a).
Loaves & Fishes issue 24 has been waiting to be printed for several months now. As it stands, total copies for the next printing would be 108,000, and the printing will cost $16,000. This number includes 5,000 extra copies to distribute between printings.
Today we have $10,000 on hand, so once we have $9,000 more, we can order the books.
God has answered our prayers for a part-time assistant at our main office! Jimmy Weaver is training to help manage incoming prisoner mail and pack orders. He is a minister at Allegheny Valley Mennonite Church here in the area, and we look forward to bringing awareness of this ministry to new circles of friends with Jimmy’s help.
