Prisoners and Christmas


Anyone out there willing to send a Christmas card to a male prisoner? Here's the deal: never send your home address or last name. And do not use MY home address or MY last name!!!
If you want a return address you can use
Ministry Letters
ATTN: your first name
P. O. Box 282
Batavia OH 45103
I will let you know if he answers.

I have been writing two men that George Thompson asked me to write over a year or so ago. Josh Cline has a cell mate. Here is what Josh wrote:
"Gary Oliva is 61 yrs old, locked up now 14 months, is a Christian and is looking at a possible 10 yr. sentence. With all that he has gone through, much of his family has turned away and nearly all his friends. He gets no mail, no one responds when he tries to write. He served in the Navy during Vietnam. Would you be willing to slip him a Christmas greeting - or support him via mail also? If you or if you know someone who could write him every so often ... it would bring me joy knowing he is being given some hope and love. I just want to try and help him out a bit. We could be leaving here at the same time - likely into March."
If you want to write address is: Gary Olivas,311 5th Ave E., Springfield, TN 37172
So use your own good judgment and send off just one more Christmas card if you see fit!
