MY TESTIMONY by Larry Markle

To all the faithful supporters and readers of Jeremiah Prison

Ministry I thank you for being so supportive, it is only through
you that it enables for Revs. Tom and Monica can minister to
the inmates at the prisons and through mail.

I would like to say to you that since I have been a part of the
Jeremiah Prison Ministry God has blessed my life and God has
made me a better man. I came to prison when I was just 17, I
spent most of my younger years before that in Juvenile
institutions, the devil had a grip on me at the tender age of ten.

I would not know our Savior Jesus Christ until 1999 that there
was peace for me, there was love for me, someone cared and
there was someone who would always be therefore me. All I
had to do is call out his name and confess that he died on the
cross for me and everyone else and I believed in my heart, that
he did this and confessed my sins I would be saved from all of
the mess here on earth.
Larry & Monica
Larry is at Camp Hill SCI Let me tell you I was just a big mess in prison as I was in
society, there is just as many temptations in prison just as
there is in society. There is good and evil everywhere. We have
to choose where ever we are at but God found me, I did wander
away from him but he touched me again and I got saved in
1999 and shortly thereafter became a part of Jeremiah Prison
Ministry, all loving Tom Cohee to be my mentor, as a spiritual
advisor and later when Monica came aboard I switched to her
as my advisor and mentor.

Larry baptized in 2009
Larry & Tom
We think this was taken in 2000
They bring God’s word to me, which gives me comfort and
peace. They love doing God’s work, which shows in the men
they mentor as our lives have changed. We love Jesus which in
turn allows us to trust others, also we became better men, our
families return to us. We make and meet new friends just
because someone has taken the time to share the word of God
to lost men in prison, many thanks to the Cohee’s and their
many supporters and above all to Jesus Christ who makes it all
possible.
In Christian Love,
Larry Markle

FREE TO BE YOURSELF
II Corinthians 5:17 NKJV
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have
passed away; behold, all things have become new.”

You have a God-God-given purpose and assignment on this earth.
You are not an accident.
Your life has a purpose.

Stop focusing on your weaknesses
weaknesses and comparing yourself to others.

Whatever God has called you to do, God wants you to succeed at it.
You are special.
You are a winner.
You are incredible.

God loves you right where you are, your past and all.
Receiving His love is the first step.

You will never experience a high level of success if you are constantly down
on yourself.

When you constantly reject who who you are you limit your ability to succeed.
You will find yourself shunning other people.
You will shy away from taking risks.
You will have fear of rejection or failure.
You will make excuses. ⇒ Going past the
