Dear Mark,I had hoped to see you again before I was transferred to the

State Prison where I am now.I am the guy who played the guitar in the prison chapel after

you shared what I conceived as a very powerful message. In fact, I was and have been very much moved and inspired by your particular presentations. On two occasions you didn’t even have a black board to illustrate your teachings, yet I can visualize so vividly what you clearly showed me on the invisible, make believe black board. You also gave me a book, The Hedge of Thorns, which was also inspiring to me. I also believe now that God, in His amazing wisdom has taken me out of the world that I was suffering in with temptation, sins and desires. These prison walls do not imprison me, the steel bars and razor wire are actually God’s hedge of protection so that I might grow, strengthen, and learn in the ways of his word before I face the challenges of the world again. And so I believe you are right. What a terrible prank God has pulled on me, to get me to see, listen, and learn, yet his methods are ingenious. He probably did the only thing He could in his effort to protect me and save me!

I was looking very much forward to seeing you again. I had written a song to play and sing.

Please do not stop in your efforts to bring the word to prisoners. I’m a hard case Mark, I spent 23 years of my life in prison. If I heard you and your message touched and moved me. Believe when I tell you, a mountain was moved into the sea! The rest should be easy pickins for you. Thank You Mark!Sincerely, John S. – Prisoner of the Lord
