It has always been a major component of the ministry vision of The Cell Church to help publish book-length works by prisoners. During the past year the Lord graciously permitted us to help edit and publish our first book written by a prisoner.
Brother Hunter was in prison at Sterling Correctional Facility while he was pursuing his Associate's Degree in Christian Ministry through International Christian College and Seminary. Through the faithful generosity of our donors God enabled our ministry to support him by providing some of the textbooks necessary for his courses. Once Hunter finished his degree, he asked if our ministry would help him publish a compilation of all the papers he wrote for his classes as a limited run of hardcover books. The books would not be made widely available, but were intended as gifts for all those individuals and ministries who supported Hunter during his schooling.
Since this aligns perfectly with our ministry vision, we were honored to work with him to make it happen. The final result - a hardcover book of just over 350 pages - represented not only a step toward realizing one of our ministry objectives, but also an exciting opportunity to encourage a prisoner in his pursuit of a Christ-centered education and to share the fruits of his academic labor with others.
We are deeply grateful for all those who have supported our ministry and enabled us to help publish this record of Hunter's educational accomplishments as a thank-you to those who supported him!
