2025 June – Father’s Day in Prison!
Teresa and I had the privilege of celebrating Father’s Day at a brickmaker prison, where 32 families were present.
I shared a message that God impressed upon me, one I had never considered before. Much of it resonated with the account of Moses, as I aimed to encourage the fathers.
Moses’s parents were brickmakers, yet they didn’t allow the terror of Pharaoh to destroy their family. Moses, Aaron, and Miriam all played significant roles in the formation of a new nation.
I encouraged the fathers not to lose hope, as God is capable of delivering them! I was somewhat amazed at how quiet they were as I recounted the story of Joseph and the prophecy given to Abraham, which foretold that their descendants would be in captivity for 400 years. Not a single person moved during the entire sermon.
Praise God, when the invitation was extended to receive Christ, the entire prison stood to their feet—32 families.
HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!
We provided a cake for the fathers and their children fed it to them!
Afterwards, we distributed water jugs to every father, and the joy on their faces made this Father’s Day truly special for me.
I also want to extend a Happy Father’s Day to those of you who may not hear from your children to those without children, and to those who feel hopeless.
Think about the brickmaker prison and find encouragement in knowing that God is watching, God sees, and God is keeping score. If we keep our hearts right, He will make things right in the end. Bless you – keep the hope fires burning!
THE ICING ON THE CAKE OF LIFE FOR US….
We were grateful for the privilege of setting captives free. I have often mentioned in our newsletters that the Lord has chosen us for this mission, which truly is the icing on the cake of life for Teresa and me as we serve these precious families.
To our great God be all the glory, honor, and praise. And to God’s people, our co-laborers, our heartfelt thanks.
Today, especially for fathers, enabling us to bless the oppressed families of the earth. May you reap the love you have sown.

In reading through parts of your website after receiving a text regarding a donation to your ministry, I am wondering if the ministry sells any of the sewing projects of the mothers and daughters in an online store. I’ve purchased from other similar ministries in the past, and it’s a good way to acquaint the public with your mission. God bless you as you minister in Pakistan! What tremendous Kingdom work you’re doing!
Thank you for your suggestion, at this time we do not, but it is a great idea and we will look into this further. Thank you for your continued prayers and support. God Bless you.
I was touched by your recounting of the Father’s day message and counsel about children that have been estranged from their father. God bless you. I wish I could give more. I received a text to my phone that told me you are sending native pastors into Iran. I would like to support this ministry, but I do not find it listed in your website. Please advise.
