An awesome week!

This week found us at Portage doing 2 services on Sunday night. We were blessed to share the message of Christ with around 75 men. Then it was back to Portage on Monday afternoon for our weekly study, meeting with our 14 faithful men.

On Tuesday, we made a trip to Waupun for two Pastoral visits. Then it was on to Fond Du Lac for our normal all day Wednesday work, where, between the two of us we did 10 one on one pastoral visits.

Now it was on to our normal Thursday study where we saw 18 men, afterwards, one of us visited with 2 at one institution and the other visited one at still another institution. WOW, over 900 ministry miles, over 100 men & women touched with the love of Christ, and we received many hours of blessings.

We praise God that He allows us to be in this ministry. The church behind to walls is growing both in quantity and quality!

Here's my verse!

"Hey Pastor Carlos, God gave me this verse; Hebrews 8:12, 'For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.' I'm holding on to it as a promise from God!"

May God give these men and women His true freedom while they are behind bars!

Jesus is calling!

Jesus is calling!

He died for our sins!
He was also raised to life to give us entrance into heaven!

He's knocking at your heart's door!

When you let Him in, there will be joy!

Happy New Year!

The first weekend of the New Year found us “marrying off” our youngest son. It was a great family celebration! Carl had the blessing of being the Pastor performing the wedding and each one of our family, including the grandchildren, participated in the ceremony. Great fun! Great joy!
Then, during the first of the week, we came home via the institutions at Stanley and New Lisbon. At Stanley we visited 11 men and the next day at New Lisbon we visited 14 men. It was then on to Taycheedah for 8 more visits! We were tired, but grateful and blessed!
From those we visited we heard many different stories: some were excited, some we worried, some were lonely, some were rejoicing, some needed money, some needed to hear from family and friends. When you visit 33 incarcerated people in three days, you hear the gambit of ups & downs. God is doing His work in those behind the bars! Thanks for your prayers.
