Sometimes sadness!

Ecclesiastes 3:4 speaks of "a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance." In prison ministry we understand this very well. When we hear life stories and watch the inmates make both good and bad decisions, we weep, we laugh, we mourn, we dance!

Just last week, along with the chaplain of the women's prison, we decided to suspend our study there due to inappropriate behavior in the class by some of the inmates. We long to see these inmates live for the Lord! We weep & we mourn!

Our ministry focus at this prison will now be to do one-on-one discipleship times with the women who request them. This will require more hours of work on our part, but should yield positive results as we see who is really serious about growing in the Lord, and who isn't. We laugh and we dance! We ask for your prayers that God will use this decision to change lives.
