Dear Friends of the Fellowship of St. Silas,

As you can see from the heading we have changed our address. Yes, for the time being we have moved to Nashville Tennessee to be closer to our children and grandchildren.

Everything thing else is the same. We have the same mission, the same prisoners, the same financial and prayer needs. Everything is the same, except we are in Nashville, Tennessee.

Please know that our "flock" is growing spiritually by leaps and bounds. Here is what one prisoner wrote to me this week:

"I really, really appreciate all your uplifting letters, my bible and the icons you have sent me. Everything changed for me the day I received that bible. I can't thank you enough. Sometimes, well all the time, I'll be going through things or trouble in here and they will call me to get my mail and a letter from you would speak exactly of the situation and how God has got my back, and so forth. If you have ever reached anyone you have reached me and it is much appreciated." And I will continue to live the Christian lifestyle when I get out this month! It's a life long process... "The wrath of God is coming upon the disobedient." It is time to be obedient and make the most of opportunities. Thanks for showing me through your "life stories" how to walk in Jesus' footsteps.

We do not count our "success" by the multitude of numbers. Our goal is to have a one on one relationship with those who have burned all their bridges both spiritual and familial. We wished we could do more but as I have said before, little is much when God is in it.

Thank you for your prayers and support you have given through the years. Next month we will be sending out calendars to our 300 of our flock. It is quite costly and any help that you can give is much appreciated.

May the beauty of heaven consume you!!!

Fr. David Ogan
