I just finished reading your letter of the vision the seven Colombians had, about Hell and Heaven. It's the third time I've read it. My heart gets stirred inside every time I read it. I have never read anything like this in my life. It disturbs me.

I thought I was saved a long time ago. But now I know I was not. I've prayed the sinner's prayer a number of times. You see I've been an alcoholic for about twenty-five years. And have struggled with it all along. I'm in jail right now for the umpteenth time, on an alcohol related charge.

My aunt sent me your article. I've let some of the guys in here read the article, and it's stirred them up too. I've recently asked the Lord to forgive me all my sins, and to come back or into my life. We are in the last days and the gospel is very serious business. I don't want to go to hell. I want to go to heaven, and I want my family and my fellow man to go to heaven too. I don't want to drink any more or commit any more sins or crimes.

I should be getting out soon, and I want to serve the Lord Jesus Christ. I'm homeless and don't have anywhere to go, so if possible, I'm going to a two-year alcohol and drug treatment center for homeless people. They say all religions and denominations are welcome as long as they have a desire to change. When I'm accepted I want to get as close to the Lord as I can. I want to do that now. Will He forgive my backsliding?

And I haven't done any good works for Him. I haven't produced much fruit, or done much witnessing. That will be a goal of mine in the near future. I'm gonna press on to the mark and try and finish a race I haven't even started. Please pray for me. And could you send the story of the Nigerian man whom you interviewed a few years ago, that had died in a car accident and gone to hell, named Daniel Ekechukwu? I would appreciate it very much. These stories are having a profound effect on some of the guys in here.

Yours with Respect,
