October 16, 2017 at 6:43 pmI know this is a different request, but here it goes.
I have a friend in prison who has been institutionalised almost his whole life. Since age 2, he was fostered in an abusive home, he aged out of the juvenile system, and then he bounced around from one prison to the next. He is in his seventies now and doing time in Canada.However, over the past 2 decades he has taken his salvation seriously doing theological studies and has earned himself 2 doctoral degrees. In medium security in Ontario, he was doing bible studies with 2 other guys, but now that he was transferred to minimum security in Quebec, he is all alone. I went to visit him last month, which was the first visit he had in 8 years. There are no Christians around him and no one open to hearing about the word. It was heartbreaking to hear that he feels like his light is going out. I keep telling him to keep the faith, but it would be so nice if he could hear it from someone else, too. I told him about how loving the Dabbers are and he would really appreciate getting a little note showing that there is a spiritual family out there who cares. You need not put your return address but he will gladly write back if you do. He is an extremely humble man who loves the Lord immensely. If you want to send him a “praying for you” card or note, you are welcome to send it to:

October 16, 2017 at 9:10 pmThank you Francine. What a beautiful request. Brother Guy will get something from me. When I do not know, as I am not sure how long it takes to get a letter to Canada but it will be done. Thank you again. Amen.

October 16, 2017 at 11:49 pmAlso.. let’s agree together that he would be encompassed with the love of God. The presence of God. Father God we ask that you storm the gates of that prison and pour out your spirit. Cause a supernatural fire to break the atmosphere. Touch every person and every life there. Raise up Guy and give him a special place. Give him a role as a msinister of the gospel. Give him a platform. Cause your presence in him to shine forth as the noon day sun-so that NO enemy or ungodly force can withstand his presence without being transformed. Cause the latter part of his life to be the best. Break the chains on every heart in that place. Raise them up and bring them into the knowledge of you and into salvation. We believe in your power and know that nothing is impossible with you.

Letter sent this morning.francineguerraPrayers: 25Requests: 1
October 25, 2017 at 1:50 amOh my goodness, Dabbers, thanks so much for your response. Guy was so excited to hear that someone cared enough to respond. He is extremely isolated in life with no friends or family checking in on him, so this means the world to him. God has eyes and sees your kind gestures. Thanks again remain blessed! XOXO

October 29, 2017 at 7:31 pmHi Soundyaa! Guy called me elated that he received your mail from Birmingham! He doesn’t have the means to reply to mail at that distance, so I told him that I would try to contact you on his behalf to thank you most profusely! He sounds like a different man on the phone now. Instead of sounding down and depressed, he sounds so upbeat and optimistic about the future. Mucho gracious for taking the time to pour into this brother’s life; it made such a difference!!!

October 29, 2017 at 9:18 pmHi Francine,
It is an honour to serve our Lord, anything I can do for him and to a brother in Christ I am pleased to. Two more are on the way. In the third I said would he let you know if these letter help. Thank you for telling me this. When you speak say I will keep writing 🙂 -
