Last Tuesday the 24^th I had the opportunity to speak to the men at Cook County Department corrections. Along with the opportunity came the request for 200 copies of “Therefore I Have Hope.” When asked, my immediate reply was, “God will provide.”

A week prior I was talking to God during my morning prayer time and said, “God I need $700 to pay for the rest of the books.” Earlier that afternoon I received a text from one of my Pastor friends telling me their church received a check for $500 for the books and shortly after another church donated $200. God provided.

Additional funds came in later in the week so additional books were given to Statesville and Peoria County Jail. Not only did God meet the need but my cup overflowed.
