Brother Sias: Incarcerated, but not Forgotten
James Sias sent this letter all the way from Ironwood State Prison, one of the institutions Elder James has been able to access and minister too. Please pray that the Lord would raise up more people passionate about Reformed Prison ministry who can support incarcerated believers throughout the state and nation.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Hi, My name is James Sias. I am an incarcerated individual at Ironwood State Prison. I would like to take this time to thank all of you at Ontario Reform Ministry for your thoughts and prayers. I also want to thank you for sending us Elder James, who was truly a blessing to us here. The message he brought was not only encouraging, it was convicting, and I left church that morning in deep thought. I went back to my cell and asked GOD to search my heart, and to remove any distractions and all that does not bring him glory. I believe when you can make a man think, and examine his relationship with Christ that is a message that landed on good soil and will bring forth fruit in its season. That is what Elder James message did for me.
I am very much looking forward to his next visit, and I’m excited to see how the Lord will use him to bless our ministry here. I felt that Elder James truly understood the day to day struggles we go through being incarcerated, especially being men of GOD who are to be set apart. He spoke the truth in love, and for me it was much needed. I know I can speak for all the Brothers here when I say, it means so much to us when we get visitors from outside these walls. It brings us a sense of normalcy, and just for a while we get to leave this place.
Thank you for not forgetting those of us who at times feel forgotten, we are so very grateful that your church is not only praying for us, but your also taking time out of your busy schedules to come and bring us the Gospel. Thank You Elder James for thinking of us here at Ironwood State Prison. All Glory Be To GOD!
Sincerely Your Brother,
James Sias
