So here I am at a Bible conference after my wife Margie’s death, and I’m alone in a dorm room, and I say, “Lord, it seems like Margie and I have been everywhere and done everything in ministry. If I’m here another decade, I’m going to be 100. What am I suppose to do?” And then I read [Matthew 25:36], “You visited me in prison.” I had never been to prison. It’s the greatest blessing to see how men and women cherish having someone care enough to visit them.”

I never saw myself as a person who would share the gospel inside prisons, but now I’m “behind bars” whenever possible. A greater understanding of God’s Word and the desire for more is real among many men, and they are eager for prayer and a connection with a brother from the outside.”
