I guess I started this ; FREE BIBLES

Dear H-F Family , 
  It was really not my intention to get anything started other than a
successful Jail Ministry . I have been preaching in the jails for about 3
years now and I have found it very difficult to get Bibles for the men . I
did have one source but the lady moved away . I found a source for FREE
BIBLES in a Baptist magazine that was given to me from one of our converts
at the church . I was absolutely delighted to get that info. and send it in
right away . I know that I had been praying for new Bibles or really any
Bibles for the men to use when this offer came along . It took about 3
weeks but then I got 200 FREE BIBLES delivered to the Church . Friends ,
this was like manna from heaven . Who am I to question or to complain about
what God has delivered into my hands . Those Israelites complained about
their quail --- and they died with it still in their teeth . The men have
been very grateful for their new Bibles and not one has complained that it
wasn't a KJV . Actually I prefer to use my old Scoffield when I am
preaching . It just seems easier to find scriptures . When I began at the
jails I realized that it was not me doing the work anyway . It was God .
Now I just try to get something started in their lives . I know that Jesus
is the Alpha and the Omega . I believe that if he begins a work in
somebodys life He is well able to finish it . I just keep on preaching what
He tells me to preach and leave the increase to Him . So far ( it is almost
impossible to count because of the families that are involved ) He has
reached far more than 250 men right here in Alcorn County . I am very
grateful to have been a part of this because , you see , He saved me from a
life of drug addiction and prisons and in me ; I pray that the men might
find love and hope . 
Jesus is the love and the light of my life and I have dedicated my life to
serving Him . If anybody out there is still interested in using free NKJV
in their jail ministry or in starting a jail ministry at your Church ;
Please let me know . These Bibles are for men who are in need . For now ,
because of the length of this script , I will pass on the academia . 

With Love and Concern For the Lost ,
John B.Labas
