Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever

Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.

Today, it is critical that those who have a heart for God are aware of what God is doing and speaking today. God is opening up His Word like never before in preparation for The Time Of The END. I exhort you to open up your heart and your eyes to see what He is doing and your ears to hear what God is speaking at this time. My prayer is that we will be able to stand before the Son of Man at His appearing, without fault and with great joy. I encourage you to read David Wilkerson's book, America's Last Call at davidwilkersontoday.blogspot.com. Also, Google, Tommy Hicks Prophecy, 1961 for a view of the End Times.

Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.

To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.

Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!
Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!
Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!

Massive Revival Unfolding in Prisons Nationwide

Prison Fellowship has witnessed a remarkable surge in testimonies of incarcerated men and women encountering Jesus Christ through personal Scripture study. With a dedicated program for distributing Bibles, books and other valuable resources, the ministry has seen an extraordinary increase in the demand for God's Word.

According to spokesperson Jim Forbes, Prison Fellowship previously distributed an average of 5,000-6,000 Bibles annually until 2019. Since then, they have sent out an average of over 250,000 Bibles each year, witnessing an ongoing and powerful hunger for the Scriptures among prisoners.

To better address the need for accessible Bibles, Prison Fellowship conducted a survey among prison chaplains, revealing that many inmates lack easy access to their own copy of the Bible. Stringent mail policies in correctional facilities often restrict parcels from individuals or unfamiliar organizations. Even when Bibles are available, they may prove challenging to read due to small text and limited literacy of incarcerated adults.

To bridge this gap, Prison Fellowship has introduced an innovative solution known as The Storehouse, an online store exclusively for prison chaplains. By registering on the site, chaplains can order Bibles, books, DVDs and other essential resources at no cost, empowering them to meet the spiritual needs of those under their care.

The Storehouse offers a wide range of options, including large-print versions of the Life Recovery Bible in English and Spanish. This particular Bible resonates deeply with those struggling with various addictions, providing additional content and context for their recovery journeys. Braille Bibles are also available for visually impaired prisoners, ensuring that no one is left without access to God's Word.

In addition to distributing Bibles, Prison Fellowship annually circulates one million copies of its quarterly newspaper, Inside Journal, to 900 correctional facilities across 50 states. Since its inception in 1990, this publication has offered articles on parenting, conflict resolution, trauma, addiction and compelling stories of transformed lives through Christ. Inmates can even request a Life Recovery Bible directly through the newspaper, fostering spiritual growth and a deeper connection with God's transformative power. The production and distribution costs for Inside Journal amount to approximately 65 cents per copy.

Recognizing the profound impact of their ministry, Prison Fellowship established a vital partnership with Tyndale House Publishers in 2018. Tyndale's Life Recovery Bible has become the leading recovery Bible, with over 3 million copies sold. This collaboration has further amplified the availability and influence of Scripture within correctional facilities.

Furthermore, Prison Fellowship extends its reach to children of prisoners through the Angel Tree program. Since 2016, they have provided free copies of the ZonderKidz Adventure Bible to all participating children. Preteens and teenagers attending Angel Tree Camping and Angel Tree Sports Camps also receive Bibles, ensuring that young hearts encounter the life-transforming power of God's Word.

James Ackerman, CEO of Prison Fellowship, passionately affirms that a profound revival is transpiring behind prison walls, emphasizing the unprecedented demand for Bibles and the palpable transformation occurring within incarcerated individuals.

Founded by Charles Colson, a once-prominent figure in Richard Nixon's administration, Prison Fellowship exemplifies the redemptive power of Christ. Colson's personal encounter with God through C.S. Lewis' Mere Christianity while serving time in prison ignited his vision for this ministry. Today, Prison Fellowship stands as the nation's largest Christian nonprofit dedicated to serving prisoners, former prisoners and their families, operating with an annual income of $61 million.

With over 2 million individuals incarcerated in various correctional facilities throughout the United States, Prison Fellowship's significant impact continues to shape lives and bring hope to the darkest corners. Holding a stellar one-star rating and an "A" transparency grade in the MinistryWatch database, coupled with a commendable donor confidence score of 82, Prison Fellowship's unwavering commitment to restoring lives through the power of God's Word stands as a beacon in the realm of prison ministry.

Through the distribution of Bibles and invaluable resources, Prison Fellowship embodies a profound catalyst for change within the confines of correctional facilities. Their unwavering commitment to meeting the spiritual needs of prisoners, along with strategic partnerships, illuminates a path toward redemption and restoration. Behind prison walls, lives are being forever transformed as individuals discover the unwavering love and grace of God, fueling a revival that transcends prison bars.
