Cabin update!

It seems that it is not God's timing for us to use our little cabin in His service at this time. Does He have another house in mind? We continue to believe that He wants some sort of aftercare house here in our area that we can be involved in. Please keep praying!

Prayers from the heart!

Here's a sampling of recent prisoner prayer requests--

"Pray for me so I can continue to attempt to read the Bible and obtain an understanding of the Scriptures, as this can be a bit frustrating."

"Thank you, Lord, for this opportunity to draw close to you! I ask you with all my heart to take care of my family."

"Lord, I pray that you would help my faith to grow, that you would take care of my children and that I would receive good news about my mother. Also, thank you, Lord, for loving me!"

"Please pray for the salvation of my soul!"

"Please pray for my sentencing next week." We prayed, and later found out that he received a life sentence. I don’t think I’ll ever forget the look in his eyes--a twenty year old knowing that he faces life in prison. Yes, he committed a crime, but nobody deserves to be raised the way he was!

Update from May 21 posting!

We need to finally update you on the gal in our, Wednesday, May 21, 2008 posting titled, "Resist the devil!" Well, praise the Lord, our gal was exonerated. The ticket she received was proved un-just. It was removed from her history and her file shows that it never existed. So her streak of not going to the hole continues. All glory and honor to God! She said she could not stop saying PRAISE JESUS! Please keep praying for this gal as she has a few more hurdles to jump!

Housing!

Since last October, we have been seeking God about Him using the cabin that is on our property in a more practical way. As we have been praying, we have been asking God to show us His plan. Then today we read the following verse in our devotions: "Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, “Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it?" James 2:15-16 (NIV)

We are beginning to sense that God may want us to open that cabin up to provide housing for ex-ofenders when they get out. There sure are a lot of details to work out, but with God all things are possible. Please pray about this and also let us know what you think.
