JAIL - STREETS MINISTRY UPDATE




The Jail Ministry is going great! We've been going in steady consistently once a week and God is really touching lives. The Word is be preached and guys are being discipled.

Last Monday Bro. Rich and Bro John and I went in and had an awesome time ministering the Word and praying with guys. The young guy Josh who committed his life to the Lord a couple of weeks ago is meeting with us and learning the Word. --Please keep him in your prayers as he is waiting to be transferred to a State facility to fulfill his four year sentence.




This last Friday Night 5 of us hit the downtown area of Elkhart to minister Jesus. Bro Larry had 2 brothers from his Church, New Life Christian Center in Bristol. These two brothers were eager to share Jesus and it was awesome having them come out! JP and Won had a great time as Larry took them to back alleys where they ministered Jesus to some homeless men and they all got to pray and testify about the King of Kings!!!

Kevin and I went to the parks down by the river and we had a few "God appointments". We first met a family coming back from McDonald's and we shared and ministered to them and prayed with them. One of the young men in the family was sharing how he wanting to get back into Bible reading. --Praise God!! God had us at the right place at the right time to encourage them.

We then went to the Island Park and met a group of 6 to 7 young people that were doing some "fantasy role-playing game" When we started sharing Jesus all bedlam broke loose. They were mocking God, arguing, wanting to debate. We were able to share truth from the Word and plant the seeds of the Gospel. Even thou it was a hostile environment the Word went forth and everyone heard the truth!!

It was a great night sharing Jesus!!

God bless!!
