Another day at the office!


Great study on Monday! The men are always ready to participate, sing and give testimony to what God is doing in their lives. All were sad to hear that we would be gone for a month. We gave them a devotional to do daily. We trust God will use it to encourage them.

Wednesday was the coldest day of the winter - 40 to 50 below zero wind chills, so the prison we go to on that day canceled all activities. We were sad to not be able to go.

Thursday found us saying so long to some, as we only have the men in this study for us to 8-10 weeks. We asked if anyone wanted a follow-up visit in the future and 80% said "yes". We hesitate to ask this question because it just adds to the LONG list. "The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few!"

On Friday we made a special visit to another institution. We had planned on doing one-on-ones with 7 men, 30 minutes each. But the guard did not want to keep track of all those visits so he called all the men at once and we had a group visit with all 7. It was MUCH better this way. God used that guard to bless us all!

Please continue to pray for the church behind the bars. God is producing his will in the lives of many. Philippians 2:13
