Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
The month of October was a busy month spent mostly in Tennessee and Kentucky, with several meetings in Alabama and Georgia. God was good and gave me some great meetings. I had two new Churches say that they would take me on for support, and several others that said they would if god gave them the means.
I also got to lead some souls to the Lord in the month of October. In Bolivar, Tennessee, the Pastor asked me to preach two servcies in the jail there, and three black men accepted Christ as their Saviour. (One was named Kevin, but I don't know the other's names. Please remember them in your prayers).
I preached a message to the inmates about "The Lamb" using Exodus 12 and John 1:36 as my texts. I told them that they needed Jesus Christ (The LAMB OF GOD) as their Saviour. While preaching I used an illustration about the Electric Chair. I asked them, "What if you went into a department store adn shot thirty people? That would be awful, right?" They all said, "Yes." Then I said, "You'd deserve to go to jail and to court and then to the electric chair, right?" They said, "Yep." I continued, "What if they strapped you into the electric chair, adn were just about to flip the switch, but I came in and said 'No!' I'll take his place, let him go. And the last thing you would hear as they escorted you outside, would be me screaming in the electric chair in your place. That would be something, wouldn't it?" About that time, every eye in the jail was staring at me. Then, I told them that's what Jesus did for them! I heard one guy say, "Wow!" Praise God He took our penalty! Thank God for such a wonderful Saviour!
While in Pembroke, Georgia, I was able to attend another jail service, where I met a man who has been to Honduras several times. He has a wife who lives there now with her family. He said that there is an old Baptist Church there in her village with a building next door that was once used as an orphanage and a soup kitchen. The work was abandoned after the Missionary that started it left several years ago and never came back. The people are waiting and praying for someone to come there and preach to them. He gave me the name of phone number of his wife's mother who used to attend the Church, and knows more about it. Please pray with me that God would show me if he wants me to go there when I get back. It sounds like an open door!
Thanks again for your prayers and support!
Because of Him,
Robert R. Breaker III
Missionary to Honduras
