Incarcerated Christian asks for help. What do we do?
This is a letter posted in JC Press on Friday, June 4.
I am a native of Jonesborough and an inmate at Washington County Detention Center. I am a Christian who fell away from the Lord and went down a path of drugs and alcohol.
I am a recovering addict who has redevoted my life to Christ. I am armed only with my childhood Bible in this incarceration, which may lead to prison.
I am currently trying to hold Bible study with other inmates and could use the community’s help.
On very rare occasions outsiders come in and share the word but mostly it’s left to us few inmates who want to share the word with others.
I am writing the Christian community as a whole in hopes that you will send literature, religious books with direction and maybe Sunday school lesson books to help me and my fellow incarcerated Christians in our journeys.
I could also use some inspirational words of wisdom. I have four children and a family who I am going to be lost to for a few years but I pray I come home a new man walking with Christ.
With your help I may even be able to share and help with spreading the word and literature you send with others in this jail.
Pray for me and send your letters and literature to Reginald Leach, c/o Washington County Detention Center, P.O. Box 97, Jonesborough, TN 37659. Please help me to help myself and others. REGGIE LEACH Washington County Detention Center Jonesborough
