I saw many wives, children, and relatives visiting their incarcerated husbands, fathers and loved ones. They had the same facial expressions and the same story of loss, lack, and fatherlessness.
The same story unfolds for every country, race or generation where a father or mother was sentenced to jail. Indefinite separation from parents sets the stage for them to lack
guidance and parenting thereby making them prone to a host of emotional trauma, abuse, rejection, and neglect. Couple these with the propensity to engage in illegal activities and addictions to drugs, pornography, sex, gambling, among others.
But, there's good news. After serving time in prison, President Richard Nixon's "hatchet man" Charles Colson was empowered and anointed by God to impact the lives of prisoners, ex-prisoners, and their families through the establishment of Prison Fellowship in 1976. This non-profit ministry aims for the redemption, reconciliation, and restoration of prisoners and their families through the love, power and gospel of Jesus Christ.
Eventually in 1982, ex-bank robber and prisoner Mary Kay Beard founded Angel Tree in Birmingham, Alabama to help Prison Fellowship prisoners connect with their families especially children during Christmas. The idea is to allow a sponsor to give a Christmas gift to a child under the name of his own incarcerated parent. In its first year, 556 children were given and to date about 9 million children and 5.2 million inmate parents were ministered to.
~ There are now 1.7 million children who have one or both parents in prison.
~ You can change lives and make a difference right NOW.
~ Click Angel Tree to know more details and how you and your church can partner with them.
~ Imagine what your Christmas gift and prayer can do to one of these kids.

Experiencing Jesus’ Joy This Christmas and Beyond
This last year, Brother James has conducted several group studies utilizing Experiencing Jesus' Joy resulting in some new and renewed commitments to follow Jesus more closely. This is a great book for personal Bible study or small groups to help develop a closer walk with God. With Christmas right around the corner, why not give a gift to family and friends that will help develop better godly understanding and potentially more godly joy and inner peace? Pastors, you might consider preparing for a church-wide study next year. Brother James will be glad to come and work through a one or two night seminar introducing the principles in Experiencing Jesus' Joy to get your church started.
Contact Brother James at josephijs@roadrunner.com.
In addition, it may be purchased through Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

Christian Book Review - I AM THAT I AM by Judy Azar LeBlanc
2013 Book Release - The Unspeakable by Author Tessa Stockton
Coming January 2013!
When a furtive conflict is pitted between violent leftist guerrillas and a rightwing paramilitary group in Colombia, a North American woman mistakenly gets caught in the middle.
"I spent four months, one week and two days in a clandestine prison referred to as The Water Cave. Every day I stared hell in the face, and each day I wanted to die. I don't want to share too much too quickly. To understand fully, you must join hands with me, fasten your heart to mine, and course through my book.
Stumble over the incomprehensible human rights journey with me. I've pondered it to the brink of questionable sanity, and it is the only way. It's the only way to explain. I suppose I should consider myself lucky I survived at all—for many did not—yet, perplexingly so, that's not the premise of this narrative.
~ He altered my life, marked me forever.
~ But it's not how you might imagine.
~ This is a story involving Horacio Botello, my torturer known as Puma."

What God Has Wrought - a documentary on Chuck Smith and the Calvary Chapel Movement
'What God Has Wrought' - a documentary on Chuck Smith and the Calvary Chapel Movement
Special to ASSIST News Service
VISTA, CA (ANS) -- One of the greatest spiritual revivals to sweep America, even the world, was the Jesus Movement. It happened back in the late sixties and early seventies during the hippy era, and one of the key players was Chuck Smith.
"What God Has Wrought" tells the story of Chuck Smith and the birth of the Jesus Movement and Calvary Chapel, a then small Southern California church that he had just become the pastor of.
It's a story that has marked history in remarkable ways, changed lives radically; a story well worth hearing (and seeing).
During that period of upheaval in America, most hippies were young people reacting to society and tradition and in pursuit of authenticity, meaning, love and peace. Many thought they'd found it in drugs, revolutionary music and their free-love lifestyles.
The older generation, for the most part, viewed them as a bunch of grungy losers, but not Kay, wife of Pastor Chuck Smith. She saw them not as losers but as lost. And she wanted to help them find their way back home.
Chuck Smith found himself acquiescing to his wife's compassion and soon found his church, Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, filling up with barefoot, longhaired "seekers"-week after week. Men such as Greg Laurie, Mike MacIntosh, Raul Ries, and many other now prominent Calvary Chapel pastors.
These young people were hungry for truth, peace and love. They wanted to belong to a cause bigger than themselves. They found it at Calvary Chapel within the simple expository teaching of Chuck Smith, teaching that simply pointed them to Jesus. They were excited and passionate about their newfound faith, and eager to express it.
This led to the birth of contemporary Christian music which sounded a lot like an amalgam of Beatles and Beach Boys-a very sixties sound-but with Christian words. It was a musical revolution and it caused quite a stir amongst the traditional crowd.
The recently released documentary, "What God Has Wrought" is a riveting account of how Calvary Chapel became the catalyst for the Jesus Movement. It includes interviews with Chuck Smith, testimonies from those who were transformed by though this outpouring, flashbacks to actual church services, testimonies and clips of the Jesus Movement bands such as Love Song.
Talking about his role during the Jesus People movement, Chuck Smith said, "I didn't want to direct the Holy Spirit, I just wanted to find out how the Holy Spirit was moving and get in the boat and move with him."
It is heart stirring, inspiring and well worth watching. The DVD has also just won "Best Documentary 2012" at The International Christian Film Festival in Irvine, California on October 6th, 2012.
