Johnny Ashford

Experiencing life together…

Fellowship is a place of grace, where mistakes aren’t rubbed in, but rubbed out. Fellowship happens when God’s grace wins over human guilt.

Hello, my name is Johnny Wesley Ashford 3rd, but my nickname is “YA YA.” I turned 50 years old on April 12th. I’ve been incarcerated since December 1987 (flat!). I’ve just recently been granted parole, but must complete an 18-month rehab-program before being released. However, as I look forward to my pending freedom. I can’t help but to thank my Higher Power for granting me the opportunity to show and tell (be a witness) of the Holy Spirit’s supernatural glory. This is my intention for seeking your friendship thru – fellowship. To praise and glorify God’s goodness in our lives.

Trust and believe, with Christ, we’re always deserving of God’s mercy. Simply because we all stumble and fall and require help getting back on track. This is why it’s so very important we offer mercy to each other and be willing to receive it from each other. Remember, God says : “When people sin, we should forgive and comfort them, so they won’t give up in despair.” 2 Corinthians 2:7

Share your thoughts and feelings…
Your friend always,
J.W.A 3rd (Ya Ya)
