Dear Brethren
Your prayers do make a difference! Thank you for praying.
Prayer
Thank the Lord for the Lord’s provision for the ministry in our last fiscal year (July 2012 to June 2013)
Kenya has ordered 5,000 courses, which will cost $14,000. They have no funds to pay for the courses and shipments. Please pray that the Lord will provide the funds.

International Coordinator – Jim Fleming
In 2 weeks Jim will have back-to-back trips, first to South America and then to Africa. He needs prayer to prioritize his preparations.
Pennsylvania – Mary Ann Bell
I have been having problems with 10 large jails in Virginia. I talked with a Lieutenant and was told that they no longer allow any materials printed in color (course covers). Already we have been removing staples, no extra literature, no cards, or bookmarks. I am sending the inmates a letter explaining why they haven’t been getting the courses. Please pray that a solution so the students continue receiving ECS courses.
Pennsylvania – Lennie Spitale
Pray for the future of prison ministry leadership as well as the continuing work of ECS. Lennie visits two local institutions and sees the tremendous benefits of ECS courses.
Pennsylvania – Richard Augustine
The prison/jail ministry in Indiana, Pennsylvania is doing well. Jesus still loves to bring the lost into his kingdom, no matter what their background or previous way of life was. Please pray for those for the following inmate that have accepted the Lord and have completed the ECS ministry studies that they will continue to stay active in the Lord and exercise their faith on a daily basis.
