…I was in prison and you came to me. Mat 25:36b December 2013 Newsletter This newsletter is the first of ongoing, regular updates via email concerning Less Than The Least Ministry (LTTL) activities. Updates are provided already on the LTTL web site and Facebook. But, this newsletter represents our first effort to “push” ministry updates out to supporters of the ministry on a regular basis. We hope this contributes to all being better informed concerning ministry activities, opportunities, and needs. Feedback concerning the ministry and this newsletter is welcomed. Dear LTTL Supporter: Your support of Less Than The Least as a ministry volunteer or financial contributor is much appreciated! Along with other supporters, you make our ministry to the incarcerated possible. Thankfully, the Lord has enabled and blessed our individual contributions of time and money to eternally impact lives and glorify His name behind prison walls. (...”apart from me you can do nothing.” Jn 15:5) Year-end contributions will be much appreciated if you have funds to donate. Our ministry needs have exceeded donations this year causing us to dip into reserve funds. We want to continue existing ministries and increase our presence behind the walls, as we did during October in a 3-day crusade at the Terrell Unit in Rosharon and plan to do in the upcoming December 27-29 crusade at the Wayne Scott Unit in Angleton. (See a report on the Terrell Crusade below.) Thanks for your faithful support. May God bless you and your family during this Christmas season. David Gunter, Director Less Than The Least Ministries 1414 S Friendswood Drive Friendswood, TX 77546 281-224-3131 [email protected] In This Issue Ministry Spotlight Motorcycles and Renewal at Terrell Crusade Facelift Is Uplift at Stringfellow Chapel By the Numbers Ministry Finances Ministry Schedule Radio Schedule Page 1 of 5 Motorcycles and Renewal at Terrell Crusade “Wow!!! Where do we begin? How do you possibly say thanks for three days of devotion, love, ministry, and giving .…. May this be the first of many crusades to come.” These words of thanks were written to David Gunter by TDCJ Chaplain Tom Brouwer after the October crusade at the Terrell Unit in Rosharon. LTTL conducted 3-days of worship services and cell-to-cell visitation with support from the Hellfighters motorcycle group from Sagemont Church. Frank Aragon, worship minister at Heritage Park Baptist Church, served as preaching minister and David Gunter led the worship time accompanied by the Terrell Unit band. Twenty LTTL volunteers participated during the three days of ministry at the main unit and the trusty camp. Over 700 inmates attended the worship services and Chaplain Brouwer reported twelve baptisms the following week. Four motorcycles touring the chapel before the Saturday service was a pleasant surprise and encouragement to the inmates. The bike ride had special meaning to Bill Fry, a LTTL volunteer who rode one of the bikes, as he enjoyed seeing and “just smelling the fumes from the Harleys” that toured the unit where he himself resided once upon a time. Finally, we found that the Terrell Unit has ongoing needs for more regularly scheduled bible studies and worship services. LTTL is currently planning for meeting some of these needs as volunteers answer the call to these ministries. Please consider these needs and respond as you are led. Facelift Is Uplift at Stringfellow Chapel “What is that?” That was the first reaction of the LTTL group who went into the Stringfellow Unit during 2011 for a site evaluation in preparation for starting a regular monthly worship service. “I thought I told you about the leaky roof,” came the reply from Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Chaplain Lettie Watkins. She had told us about the leaky roof but we didn’t immediately connect that with the big expanse of plastic suspended over a rather large area and funneling down to a garbage can. Well, that wasn’t the only problem with the physical plant, just the most pressing. But, Chaplain Watkins and the inmates wanted us to begin a monthly service immediately and trust the Lord to fix the problems. And, LTTL answered the call. Page 2 of 5 David Gunter and Mac Archer lead in the 2nd Sunday service with support from Lois Jowers, Robert Williams, David Ingersol, and other volunteers from time to time. Working around rain puddles and other inconveniences was part of the routine for months. Then, starting in April 2012 Chaplain Watkins’ faith was vindicated as a partnership of TDCJ, LTTL, and financial contributors began renovation of the chapel. TDCJ committed to repair the roof and walls and LTTL committed to receive and manage funds from contributors and help procure materials and labor for new fixtures which have included flooring, floor buffer, chairs, hot water heater for the baptistery, sound equipment, and a keyboard. The repairs were completed and the chapel reopened for use during June 2013. Over $21,000 has been contributed. Funds are still needed for purchase of a projector and screen. LTTL has now contributed to the renovation of five TDCJ chapels including Stringfellow. In each case we have shared in the blessings of a beautiful worship space. For the inmates, these renovations are a lasting testimony that Christians on the outside haven’t forgotten them.

    Case 4:14-cv-01698 Document 147 Filed on 11/20/14 in TXSD Page 1 of 3 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS HOUSTON DIVISION DAVID BAILEY, et al., § § Plaintiffs, § § V. § CIVIL ACTION NO. 4:14-cv-01698 § BRAD LIVINGSTON, et al., § § Defendants. § § MEMORANDUM AND ORDER In this case, the Court has been asked by Plaintiffs to require improvements in prison conditions at the Wallace Pack Unit. The Court is now asked to allow intervention by twenty-six inmates at the Hutchins State Jail, three inmates at the C.T. Terrell Unit, and one inmate at the Richard P. LeBlanc Unit. All units are facilities under the direction of Defendant Texas Department of Criminal Justice (“TDCJ”). All parties in this case are opposed to the proposed interventions. Moreover, it is the opinion of the Court that the proposed interventions will unduly delay the adjudication of the original parties’ rights. All pending Motions to Intervene are therefore DENIED. The related Motions filed by Proposed Intervenor Charles C. Taylor, Jr. and non-party Richard Jaxson are also DENED. I. Motions to Intervene Thirty inmates have filed one or more Motions to Intervene in this case.1 (Collectively, “Motions to Intervene” and “Movants.”) The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure allow intervention in existing litigation under Rule 24, which provides: 1 Doc. Nos. 7, 20, 26, 38, 39, 43, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 57, 65, 72, 73, 80, 83, 84, 86, 87, 88, 89, 93, 94, 95, 97, 98, 101, 102, 104, 105, 115, 123, and 137. 1 Case 4:14-cv-01698 Document 147 Filed on 11/20/14 in TXSD Page 2 of 3 (a) Intervention of Right.

Jasuta RETURN TO TABLE OF CONTENTS According to figures gleaned from the official website site of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (“TDCJ”), Texas currently has 114 facilities, some operated by private contractors, but the majority operated by the State (see Table “A” attached hereto), which are capable of housing approximately 164,000 inmates. As the current Texas legislative session winds down, “inquisitive minds” wonder if there will be an effort by the Legislature to cut some long terms costs by closing some of the current units. In an article in the Fort-Worth Star Telegram (“Lawmakers Look to Close Private Prison in Mineral Wells”), writer Dave Montgomery detailed discussions in the Senate Finance Committee on the question of whether the State should close the privately run prison in Mineral Wells.
