  Several have asked about Richard Roberts (no relation to Oral Roberts the renowned evangelist)  - the incarcerated brother-in-Christ - whom we have been praying for for the past two years.
 
        Recently, he had been sentenced to 5 years in a Federal prison here in Texas for drug and gun charges. Actually, he had the guns for most of his life because he was a great sportsman and hunter. But his court-appointed lawyer did not really fight this issue in court, so the judge sentenced him accordingly. 
 
        For those of you who are new to my mailing list, we had been praying for Richard for the longest time. He was a Pastor at one time. But due to many disappointments and adverse circumstances which he could not understand, he turned his back on God and fell back into his old lifestyle of sin.
 
        About a year and a half ago, he was arrested for drugs. After floating from one county jail to the next, he was finally sentenced.  
 
        If you would like to write to him, you can reach him at -

        If you would like to send him some money to cover the cost of medical bills, his personal items, writing paper, food, etc. you can send a money order addressed to Richard Roberts at -

         You are allowed to send greeting cards and soft-cover books( as long as they are not explicit material). 
 
        Ask Jesus how He would have you to be a blessing to this Brother-in-Christ.  
 
        Most importantly - keep him on your Prayer List. The last I heard he was sick with the flu and in with 8 other men who all kept different schedules. It was very hard for him to have any quiet time with the Lord.
 
        Thank you for allowing me to share this burden with you.
 
        God Bless.
