A call from an inmate

We received a phone call from an inmate in Maryland a couple of days ago. We had sent him a packet of pictures earlier. The inmate said he gave them all out, and then told me about giving a picture to an inmate named T.J. who was taking drugs. It is very easy to get drugs where he is because they are on work release, where they go out in the day and come back in the evening. The caller said he could tell that T.J. was having a hard time and he knew that T.J. was on heroin, taking it every day. A couple of days after he had given him the picture of Jesus T.J. came into his cell and sat on the end of his bed. T.J. said, "I don't know if it was God, but ever since you gave me that picture of Jesus I don't want to do heroin." Then T.J. told him that he really wanted to get transfered out of that jail because it is so easy to get the drugs there. The very next day, T.J. got transfered out. Jesus, thank you, thank you so much for helping T.J.. The caller also asked for more pictures to give out. We will be sending them soon.
