Dear Brothers and Sisters

This is a place to Post a Prisoner in need of Yahwehs Love and Mercy.
If you know of a Prisoner, Please Post His or Her Name and Address, and the need that they have. I believe that just the act of writing to a Prisoner and taking the time to share some thoughts of encouragement, would be such a blessings to them ,and to those who reach out! I will do my best to write each prisoner posted here and to share Eliyah's( Kingdom Building) message with them. And if anyone else feels led to do the same or has some others ideas how to reach out to the "Least of These " ,you are most welcome to share.

HalleluYah, and May Yahwehs Mercy and Longsuffering be upon us All.

So I will start by Posting a Prisoner I know that Loves Yahweh and is baptized in Yahshua's name.



Roy Warren # 1509431
815 12th Street
Huntsville, Tx. 77348
(Huntsville Unit)

This prisoner is in need of tracts and written material he can share with other prisoners.

Shalom,

I have a brother that has written me once his name and address is:

Lawrince Atkins #853599
Ellis-1697-FM-980
Hunntsville, TX.77343

I have responed to him once, so therefore I know nothing of him. i have been wroking in the prison ministy for several years now. Yah bless

Shalom Dear Sister

I thank you for the post, and I praise Yahweh for someone who has been in this ministry for years. This is all new for me and I could learn much from you. What do you think about getting this "Thy Kingdom Come "Series of Messages to these Prisoners? That is my inspiration for now, and I'm in need of a printer or someone who will print out these messages. I know Yahweh will provide a way. So the Prisoner you Posted (Lawrince Atkins), Is he a brother in Yahshua or your actual blood brother?

I will write the same letter to this person as I did to Roy and probably keep you posted if I hear back. I will ask them what format of communication they can receive, whether they have access to anything other than just receiving the messages in text format.

If they can only get it in text format, then when the transcripts are done it shouldn't be hard to mail those out. But for now I am going to send off a letter to ask what formats they can actually make use of. It may, just may be possible, that they can use audio or other format since it is for religious reasons. I will wait for there reply and probably keep you all updated if I hear back from them.

Edit: I am assuming that's a typo for Lawrince's address. It says "Hunntsville" instead of Huntsville. I am changing it, but I hope that was actually a typo because I am assuming it is and about to print out the envelope and put postage on it.

Sis, I want to say that he is a brother in the faith. Larry received the news letter from Elder Frank Brown the Search for Scriptures. Elder Brown sends a copy of the Newsletter that I publish, within his newsletter to each of the men here in the Arkansas, The Cry… From Within. Shalom

That would be correct.:)

Bro RJ

I recieved a letter from Roy today and this is a portion of what he said :


8-1-10 "I recieved a letter 6th day from someone in Ohio, saying that they got my info from Eliyah.com . Thank You for being so thoughtful. I am very grateful to you, this gives me hope and inspires me so much! Please do not ever stop being my friend in the wilderness. This person wanted to send CD or Video, thats not allowed. but going to check with the chaplain and see if we can work something out, so we can view them. I want to ask before I write back."


So thank you RJ, I'm sure you will be hearing back from him soon also.

HalleluYah!!!

Brother RJ

Have you heard back from Roy or Lawrence yet? It might be taken the chaplan time to respond to Roy's request to get CD's or Videos. Let me know when you do..........Sister TsonYah offered to make copies of the" Kingdom Messages" if they do not accept the CDs.

Sister Ziporah,

Do you still publish this newsletter?

I heard back from Roy and I am in the process of talking with JPay.com about how to use their services to send the transcripts possibly electronically to him. I put in a request since their services normally only cover 6,000 characters or less per e-mail with limited attachment options.

I can use jpay.com to e-mail him though, and Lawrence also. I found out Lawrence's information is a bit different in that his name spelling and also the id number has two 00's in front of it. Roy's should have one 0 in front of his also I found out just so you know.

I will jpay e-mail Lawrence also and ask him if I got the right mailing address and if he wants copies also - but first I want to hear back from jpay about the best way to get them the transcripts.

I got the Hebrew Roots video on a transcript text file now that the CC for the deaf is completed. I found a not-so terrible way to convert the Closed Captioning files to just text document, so as I complete CC files I can send them the transcripts of the messages. I'll keep you posted.

Shalom Brother RJ

I have been away on a trip to Mo. for two weeks and I see that you have made progress. Praise Yahweh! I have also checked into this JPay and it is a wonderful tool to use for sending e-mail and efunds to Prisoners: Here is the link for anyone interested in these services.

http://www.jpay.com

I have started up an account, and find that I can copy and paste the messages from Eliyah, but as you stated ,you can only get around 6000 charaters per page and it cost 44 cents per page. Some of Eliyah's messages are 10 to 20 pages long on e-mail form. The cost can add up, but it is very important to get these messages out. Speaking of cost, do you know if it is a tithe to send funds to a prisoner or widow? or is it an offering? Thank You for all your help... I have another idea, will let you know later ............Yahweh Bless

I will probably be mailing large manuscripts using Snail Mail. After speaking with JPay they are unwilling and/or unable to accommodate large manuscripts, so I will have to mail anything too big it seems or buy lots of stamps to send it via jpay.

I am in contact with 3 or 4 prisoners now. I've looked up a few that I saw in some newspaper articles. I have to say that I think just writing to 3 or 4 is a full time job, because people need individual attention. So I would say that we need a LOT more people volunteering to write to prisoners. Hopefully we'll see more of this when we, YHWH willing, start connecting better together as a ministry. I hope to get a site going soon that will do this, but it will take some time. Be checking on the "Knit" section of RJBemidbar.com for updates on this in the coming months.

As far as whether something is a tithe or not... well many believe money is tithing. You CAN tithe your money, but I view tithe as the Scriptures state, being food.

Malaki 3:8 - "Would a man rob Elohim? Yet you are robbing Me! But you said, 'In what have we robbed You?' In the tithe and the offering!
Malaki 3:9 - "You have cursed Me with a curse, for you are robbing Me, this nation, all of it!

Were they robbing Him of money? Of gold? Of silver?

Malaki 3:10 - "Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, and let there be food in My house. And please prove Me in this," said Yahweh of hosts, "whether I do not open for you the windows of the heavens, and shall pour out for you boundless blessing!

The key point here is, he wants His house filled with FOOD. Now we can voluntarily offer up 10% of ALL we have including our paper currency, but nowhere are we commanded to tithe our earned wages. There were wage earners back in those days, because the Scriptures speak of those oppressing the wage earner in his wages. But wage earners were never asked to tithe their wages in Scripture. Scripturally speaking, the commandment to tithe is about Food only. Anything else is voluntary offerings and voluntary vows if we choose to do so.

Wow, I've been trying to learn about the tithe as some web ministries and assemblies are preaching the ten percent tithe, an imply you are immature spiritually if you don't..or that you are "willfully sinning" and that it is Holy onto Yahweh and is to go to the "work" (meaning their ministry) not to the poor etc...this has bothered me.. they said it is money now because we live in a Babylonian system, they lived in an agricultural system...but you pointed out they were wage earners then too...
I see your point...but a widow also gave a mite??? any help here please...
Thanks
Shalom,
Rainbow

Also I've have been wondering how I can serve...my husband and I still need to be Baptized but I would love to be a help to the Body...are there women prisoners to write to as well?
How can I help?

Yes there was gold, silver, etc. given to the temple also, sometimes voluntarily and sometimes to pay for a ransom of a firstborn or another specifically commanded instance, so I would view what the widow did as voluntary. There is absolutely no commanded currency 10% tithe whatsoever. There is a special tithe, I believe also, once every 3 years where you give 10% of the produce grown to the poor and widow also.

Sorry the late reply, it's been a while since I've been on here. You can contact me @ http://contact.RJBemidbar.com and perhaps one of the brothers in the prison will know of women who need people to write to them. If not, try contacting CynthiYah on this forum and she may know women who need someone to write to them.

I am open to speaking more if you contact me. Shalom!
