I have an appeal to the Malayalis in America - please visit Anand Jon in the jail wherever he is, whenever you can. Please give him some fellowship there. For so many years he has been in jail, right from 2007 onwards. Staying in jail is not an easy thing, it is a very dangerous and difficult place. Few months back I was reading an article in which it was saying that somebody in the jail stabbed Anand Jon in his face. There was also a photo of him with the stab wounds on his face. I felt very sad when I saw that picture.
I am appealing not only to Malayalis, but also to all Indians, and anybody who cares about the less fortunate in USA. He might have committed mistakes in his younger days, but that does not mean we have to abandon him forever like that in jail. He has realized his mistake and repented. I would like to quote one of the teachings of Jesus Christ from the Bible. It is about the time when He will come back in glory to rule the world.
"For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'. The King will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.'"
So whatever you do for Anand Jon or for anybody who is suffering in jail or anywhere else, God will take note of it and reward you for it. If I was in America I would have definitely gone to visit him and given some fellowship to him. If God gives me an opportunity to still go, I will visit him. But I hope that he will be set free and I can visit him in a house itself rather than jail.
I think that he is now in a jail in California. I think that it is called R. J. Donovan Correctional Facility. The website of that jail is this - https://www.cdcr.ca.gov/facility-locator/rjd/ You can check out the terms and conditions for visiting the prisoners there from that site. When I first started the blog he was in a jail called Rikers Island jail in Manhattan. But later on they brought him back to California because he was sentenced to jail there. Shashi Abraham and Sanjana Jon, if you are reading this, please put the details of the jail where Anand is currently located in a comment to this post.

Most parts of this blog will be deleted by August 31st 2022
Hello everybody!
Greetings to everyone in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! I hope that everybody is doing well.
I have decided to delete most of the parts of this blog, especially the posts which I wrote in 2012 and 2013 which are unnecessarily judgemental about Anand Jon and his family. They were all written out of my ahankaram, not out of any spirit of service towards Lord Jesus Christ. They are not only insulting to Anand Jon and his family, but they are also insulting towards our Lord Jesus Christ. Everybody who has read them, I will urge to please forget them. I will retain some of the posts which I wrote later on, after Jesus Christ corrected my sinful way. Instead of being critical please pray for Anand Jon. Please pray that he be released from prison and that he serve the Lord for the rest of his days. Please pray for me and my family also, that we may continue to serve the Lord.
