The Lord is showing light in the darkness of prisons. The Christmas group visits, singing, sharing, praying... giving bibles in 8 languages to 762 prisoners so far. Pray that the Lord will continue to work in their hearts and that He will lead us also in the coming visits at prisons in the Negev area. We are praying for the right Russian speaking person to get permission and visit with us. Meanwhile Anis and I - Nawal got a year round permission for 2005. |

The families of prisoners we deal with live in different towns and it isn't easy to have them come together on a weekly basis. We have to disciple them separately. We are praying also to have a gathering at a restaurant for the couples (those who are already released), to give them a lift up as well as try to help them share experiences and future decisions. We continue to support these families as the Lord provides!! |

A life sentenced Russian (already 7 years inside) who gave his life to Jesus in prison, is allowed to be set free for one day if the authorities agree at the one who guarantees to accompany him the whole day. He asked Anis to do that. Please pray that God will reveal HIS will, decision and wisdom to Anis. |
