I heard about your bible study and wanted to attend, originally to simply get out of my cell. I was hooked after just one study. Your passion for God and what the Bible had to say was inspiring to me. Some of us would share with each other the things that we got from your bible study and talk about how you cause us to want to change our ways and be closer to God.

These women have just found their way into our hearts, into my heart. You know, I love them, I care about them. I found myself thinking about them when I am not here.

I have grown so close to God now, I am reborn Christian because someone like you cared enough to come in, behind the prison walls, to speak about Jesus...When I am on my bunk - I am reading the Word because I have a great desire now within me to know and learn as much as I can about my Jesus.
Rose M.
Thank you. You have really made an impact on my life and helped me to find God.
