This past Thursday was the graduation ceremony for GED and adult HS graduates at the Newton Prison. We're so proud of all the graduates. It's great to see the guys finish what they've started in order to accomplish something special. One of the graduates is Matt. He's been faithfully attending our group meetings, growing in the knowledge and love of Jesus Christ our Lord. I'm so proud of Matt. He was one of four men who were baptized (by me) at the Thanksgiving service. So happy for Matt and all the others. For Matt, 2013 has been a great year even though he's been locked up. God has preserved his life and also saved his life. God has given Matt many opportunities to be strengthened in the faith: Brothers-in-Blue, Piercing the Darkness concerts, Christian music CD's, Bible studies, prayer groups, worship services, etc. And through it all, Matt has been shining his light for other inmates to see. He's been sharing his testimony and praying with/for other men. I'm proud of Matt's accomplishments not only academically abut also spiritually.
