Dear in Christ Jesus,
Greetings to you and your family in the liberated name of our lord and Savior Jesus. I am Femi Jackson, your Christian Sister and a Prisoner of Jesus patiently enduring the suffering that comes to those who belongs to His kingdom here. A predominately Islamic area here in Edo . My age is 45; I gave my life to Christ in the year of our Lord 1986. I was happily married with 5 children, before I was arrested on June 5th 1995 for preaching the word of God in an Islamic Primary school where I was a Teacher. I have been on awaiting trial here for 10 years without any bail and my family finally abandoned me about 4 years ago.
By the special grace of God I am the Cell Pastor here at female block. There are currently 54 inmates in this cell, about 50 of us are now Christians, while on ly 4 are still Muslims and my humble prayer is for God to touch the lives of these Muslim inmates, I often take the morning devotional Prayers every morning (6-7:30 am) and I take the Bible study class every Monday and Friday. Most of my Christian inmates have so much interest for God's word and are always delighted after each Bible studies, and they can hardly wait for Mondays and Fridays to come, sometimes they requested me to have a Bible discussion class with them on Wednesdays or Thursday. Most of them can read and write a language called "English" because some were fortunate to acquire former Education from our Colonial masters who came from England .
We are faced with so much poverty and malnutrition here. Everyday, I am under the pressure of my concern for all my Christian inmates, I have often been without enough food, clothing. My major purpose of writing you this letter is t o ask your hands in Prayers, for the lord to vindicate the innocent Poor and needy inmates here and to make request for Bibles for all my fellow Christian inmates. We are faced with much poverty and malnutrition here; most of us are having difficulties because of the problems of poor feeding which result from malnutrition. In the presence of our lord Jesus, I beg you to send my Christian inmates Bibles with 20 Large Print Characters, especially King James Version, New or used ones or cheap ones will be appreciated.
Please remember them in your daily prayers, their names are: (and she lists off all 50 names of her fellow Christian inmates.)
Beloved in Christ, we are pleading you for this great request of Bibles And Books for distribution among ourselves. Without Bibles our
Devotional service are incomplete because Bible and other Gospel Materials are the tools that build Christian faith. Above all, we have
Passion for lost sinners like us. We want to work for Christ. We must Stand with Christ to work with the great commission. (Matthew 28-19).
Finally we thank you for all your work in spreading the Gospel of our
Lord Jesus Christ. It is our prayers daily that our Lord Jesus Christ Will Bless and supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Phil. 4:19). Thanks and God bless you and family.
We hope to hear from you as soon as possible through our spiritual leader
One more thing, the Bible I have been reading since I came to into the Cell is now too old, from the book of Genesis to the book of Deuteronomy Chapter 28 has pulled off and some pages in Mark 4 through Luke 12 has turn away. Please I need 2 A Life Application Study Bible or any Study Bible; the lord may lay in your heart for my in-depth studies of Gods Word. Please we need you to show us the love of Christ, most especially now that we are faced with humiliation and intimidation and held in human bond, Just a word from you now will mean so much in our entire World, you can write us a letter through this email of a Prison Guard here, to acknowledge the receipt of this letter and ship the Bibles through the fastest post that is called airmail and ship the Bibles to us through the secured Private Address of a Prison Guard here writing below. He will deliver them to us safety and in good cond ition you send it to us and we will write a letter of appreciation to you as soon as we receive the Parcel.
