A first timer came to the meeting last night named Donnie…
He said he almost wasn’t going to come because he was experiencing a bad sinus
head-ache. But since he signed up to go and his name was called to get in
line to go the meeting, he rose up and decided to go. (Sometimes you just got
to rise up above your pain and discomfort…Sometimes you have “press through the
crowd, like the woman with the issue of blood…amen..I wish the saints in the
church houses would pick up that…come on now..) Anyway, he rose up from his
bunk and got n line with the others to come to the meeting…
At the meeting, as we were waiting for the other inmates to
arrive, I was able to greet Donnie and briefly talk to him, he shared some of
his despair in life and how much time his sentence was. I encouraged him and
told him that I was glad he pressed in and came to the meeting.
During our praise and worship time (which was incredible!.
the Spirit of God was moving and ministering) I noticed that Donnie had his
head bowed and hands raised up. Then as he lifted his head, I seen he was
weeping crying out to the Lord.. I thought to myself “Yes Lord!, do a work on
him.”

At the end of the meeting during the altar Donnie
raised his hand and cried out to the Lord for forgiveness and mercy. Amen! It
was a marvelous thing to experience. As I embraced him after the meeting he looked
me in the eye and said, “Even if sentencing doesn’t work, even if I experience some
tough times – I will remember this night and keep it right with Jesus!” … Hallelujah!!
Please
keep Donnie in your prayers along with all the other inmates. God is doing a great
work in the county
Jail.. Praise His Holy
name!
Thanks for reading this and your prayers…God
bless!
