We had a great year in 2007, we saw hundreds accept Christ in the prisons and were able to minister to more than 600 individuals in our office. While all of our financial needs were met we still need a greater base of support. I am in the process of writing a new book and getting two of our former books combined into one.

One chapter in the new book will deal with just “common sense” decisions. Good things to do whether you are dealing with spiritual issues or not. I’m including some in this issue.
