MINISTRY NEWS 26 kojministries.org Issue 2 2017 UNCHANGEABLE. UNSHAKEABLE. UNSTOPPABLE. THAT’S WHO OUR GOD IS! by Linda Cubbedge, Prison Correspondence Director Unchangeable. Unshakeable. Unstoppable. That’s who our God is! These words were given to an inmate by one of our Victorious Living Prison Correspondence Outreach team members. Every day, our ministry receives letters from inmates across the United States. Our correspondence team has the privilege of reading each letter and responding with handwritten cards filled with God-inspired messages. We are now ministering to inmates in twenty-two states. Our heart’s desire is for every inmate to know the unchangeable, unshakeable, unstoppable power and love of God. It’s why we respond to and write thousands of letters. Not too long ago, I read this letter from an inmate: “Recently I came across your magazine. Story after story filled my heart with hope that God still loves me and has not abandoned me. Thank you so much!” I could fill a book with the incredible messages our ministry receives and sends out daily. Each one inspires and challenges me. Every piece represents a living soul. God loves these inmates and desires to help them. So many inmates live without hope. When they write to us, they are in reality reaching out to God and asking Him, “Do You care, God? Are you there, God?” We have the privilege of reminding inmates daily that God does care and yes, He is there. He loves them and has not abandoned them. God’s Word tells us this so clearly. Yet so many people—believers and nonbelievers alike—are confused about God’s faithful love. Every one of us needs to be reminded that God is alive and He is working in the lives of people today. He is ready and able to rescue anyone from his or her path of hopelessness. God uses Victorious Living to speak this hope into precious lives, to point them to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. He also uses our daily correspondence and monthly devotional tools to encourage people to discover the truth. We often get letters from inmates wanting to discuss controversial or denominational issues. Our ministry refrains from debating them, as we know Satan seeks to divide God’s people through them. We simply encourage each person to ask the Holy Spirit to reveal truth to their heart through His Word. I love the response of our team member to one of these letters: I appreciate your letter. The one thing I learned quickly as a young person studying the Bible is that there are different points of view and interpretations of scripture between Christian denominations, and each can point to scripture to back up their beliefs. The one thing we must agree on is that there is only way to God and that is through His Son, Jesus, who died for our sins (John 14:6). We at Victorious Living keep the eyes of our ministry on presenting the gospel message and seeing souls saved for eternity. God is at work in the lives of inmates, and we have many letters from inmates searching for salvation and freedom. We know that Jesus Christ alone can bring the answers you’re looking for. I have always sought for God to show me Truth in the scriptures. Some issues, I just leave to the Lord to handle. There will be no denominations in Heaven…only believers in Jesus Christ. Amen! I so appreciate the wisdom and strong desire of our writing team to point every person to Jesus Christ. We major in the main thing: Jesus Christ. It’s all about Him. We know that as we continue to point all men to Him, He will draw all men to Himself (John 12:32). Will you join us in helping incarcerated men and women find hope and truth in Jesus Christ? Will you help us distribute this magazine so people everywhere can discover Victorious Living? We invite you to be a part of the incredible work God is doing today! �� Director Linda Cubbedge (below) and faithful members of our Victorious Living correspondence team reply daily to inmates who are searching for hope and freedom in Christ Jesus.
