Monday, May 21st:

Your prayers were extremely effective today. Leaving Viacaino B.C. at 6:45 AM the Team traveled 142 kilometers to Santa Rosalia where we went into the prison at 9:30 AM. Even though it was early in the day the temperature inside the prison yard climbed to 40 degrees celsius which equals out to 104 degrees Fahrenheit which was very hot for us Northerns. Yet God blessed very stongly as His Holy Spirit feel upon the prison yard and 118 prisoners prayed and made a decision for Jesus Christ. Of these 83 indicated a first time acceptance of Christ, 24 indicated a rededication, and 11 indicated other commitment. A very blessed and very powerful Prison Power Explosion of God's grace and love for these prisoners.

At 7:30 PM we were at the Event Center in San Lucas which is about 25 kilometers South of Santa Rosalia. Again God poured out His Spirit as 41 Mexicans prayed and made a decision for Jesus Christ with 19 indicating a first time acceptance of Christ, 18 rededications, and 4 other commitments. The message of salvation and hope in Jesus Christ was powerfully lifted up and God's presence was strongly felt again.

Due the response at the San Lucas Event Center the Power Explosion for Tuesday, May 22nd has been moved from a church to Center Park in the middle of Santa Rosalia. Those organizing the locations were very eager to see many more people have the opportunity to attend this event. Please lift this up in prayer and that again God would use us to bring souls into His Kingdom.

Thank You,
Pastor Tom

The Freedom Team In Mexico

The Freedom Team in Mexico Prison 

Tom and Carla Flaskerud and The Freedom Team from Bend, Oregon are in Mexico going from prison to prison to present the gospel to inmates.

Pray for the team, for their health and strength.

Tom and Carla Flaskerud married in 1978, but Tom has quite a history before accepting Christ as His Savior. For one thing, he kidnapped Carla. Seriously. Over the next few weeks I'll talk more about the Freedom Team and the positive impact they have on those forgotten souls within the prison walls. Men and women who are in the prison from a life of crimes, many of them heinous crimes and the they are lost because they don't know Jesus as Savior. Pray for each one hearing the gospel message for the first time.

email:office@thefreedomteam.org pastortom@thefreedomteam.org from Carla on Saturday:  We have internet! Praise God. We are in Guerrero Negro. We did two programs yesterday, one in a rehab and one in a church. They both went well. The team is doing great, no one has been sick or gotten an injury. The people are very responsive and we are seeing the Lord do mighty things. Thanks for all the prayers. We will tour the salt mines here today and then leave for Vizcaino after that. We had 27 1st time registered decisions, 10 rededications, and 9 other commitments. We will be on the road for another 5 days. Not sure where we will be staying just yet. If we have connections we will post again. Glory to the Lord.
