“After spending most of my life on a selfish path of destruction, yet again I found myself in a cell 12 months ago. This time wanting to take my own life and not just seeking attention but really wanting to die. It’s fair to say I was lost and without hope in the world. Thanks be to God that I was visited by the prison chaplain and he gave me a Bible and told me that there was hope. I did not know it then, but he had planted a seed that God would water. I started to read and something started to change in me. The Holy Spirit was at work, and I was on a path to salvation. I got out of that cell and into the yard. While it would have been easy to fall back into old habits, I found myself saying, NO, I am sick of hurting myself and others. I was also visited by my father, whom I had not been talking to for two years and his love helped to strengthen me. While in the yard, I would sit and read my Bible, one day I found myself talking to another prisoner about the Bible I was reading….
From that point on we became friends and apart from Jesus, the most important friendship I have made, as through our discussions over the months he shared, the good news with me from a dispensational point of view and the simple gospel of God’s grace. The word of God came alive to me. I now sit here on my bunk a newly made creation, saved out of the Grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ and his finished work on the cross, praise the Lord!
He also told me about your wonderful people at the Grace Community Church in Penrith and how a minister from that church helped him 27 years ago (Pastor Dwight Anderson) when he was searching for the truth. Because it is so hard to get a hold of literature from a dispensational viewpoint …any help with literature on the dispensation of grace would be very much appreciated and very valuable to us. Rom 15:13.”
