Another dear Christian "brother" walked out the doors of this prison today...
I know he had a smile on his face that went from ear to ear, because I saw him as he was walking down the south corridor for the last time. I was going in the opposite direction. We gave each other a big hug, and I'm looking forward to giving him an even bigger hug when we both meet in Heaven.
While I'm glad he's headed out - Wendell will be living with his sister until he finds a place of his own. His loss will be felt here. This man was on "fire" for the Lord!
Brother Judd has a heart for souls, and he runs after them. He brought so many men to church that one day I nicknamed him the "Church Beacon." I'm serious! He liked this nickname, and it was very fitting. At 6'5" tall, he towered over everyone. He shined with God's love so much that many prisoners were drawn to him.
While he was here, Wendell completely recommitted his life to Christ. He spent several years with us, and his spiritual growth was good. He sung in the choir, and he was the lead singer for many of the songs.
Before he left, he was very concerned because he didn't know any churches in his neighborhood. So I gave him the address of the CAPITAL CITY RESCUE MISSION in downtown Albany.
Wendell comes from a background of poverty, and he had a drug problem. At the Mission, he will get some hot food and clothing, fellowship, and good preaching.
He is so gifted and talented, and He loves the Lord so much that he will be a blessing to any church he joins.
