Testimonies

Translation of letter received from the DIAMES

Warm Greetings in Jesus Christ:
Just want to let you know we received the six boxes of Christian Materials. We are very aware of your contribution and we ask God's Blessings on your ministry, 'Cons for Christ'.  We've looked at the cassettes and we are very touched. We think that Ernie LeBlanc and Monty Lewis should come and witness to the prisoners of Togo. We are honored to invite these noble men to Togo for the advancement of the ministry.

Appreciation from the Institutions
Riverbend Minimum and Sask. Pen Maximum Unit at Prince Albert, Sask

I have given away a great deal of literature and cards supplied by Cons for Christ and just wanted to express my appreciation. Several inmates have begun attending chapel and some have made a personal commitment to Christ largely because of an interest stirred in them through reading the material. I walk the ranges housing segregated inmates every second or third week and resupply. What a blessing!

Burnaby Youth Open Custody Centre

I am writhing to thank you for your wonderful donation of books for the youth at our center. As soon as I entered the living units with the books I was immediately surrounded by youth, anxious to get their hands on the new books.

The card shop at Warkworth has been closed due to budgetary cuts; consequently inmates cannot purchase cards to send to families. The cards Bridges of Canada provide are the only people receive.

I receive so many comments from inmates about the cards and they are truly lifelines of relationships between the men and their families. I am taking this opportunity to express to you our appreciation for the many testimony books, greeting cards, videos and cassette tapes Bridges of Canada have provided for us during the past year.

Your partnership with us in the ministry to prisoners at Millbrook and Warkworth Correctional Institutions is of immense value. The materials you provide have a positive impact on the lives of the prisoners and they often express their appreciation for them.

Thanks for your faithful ministry to prison inmates. The books are read and read  until they are ragged and worn out. God bless you!

Central East Correctional
Lindsay, ON

Would you be able to supply us with some more of the books you have so willingly made available in the past? Having been a prison chaplain now for over 13 years, I know how much the inmates enjoy reading them, as they are often challenged to make some life changing decisions.
