Incredible day today at South Bend Work Release, first off I can’t help but think of how we had Gods favor to minister today! I mean, this was an outreach in a lock down facility with one hundred and thirty inmates and we were allowed to do the whole gamete- live band, grill & serve food, preach, offer Bibles, have time to minister to the guys one on one…it was incredible. So praise God! To Jesus gets all the glory!!
The Band “Out Of The Dust” was ministering with us. And let me tell you , I love these men’s passion for Jesus and for souls! And they are gifted and very talented…They were a bit shorthanded today, with only three band member available, but you could never tell it because they sounded incredible.
One of the many cool things that God made happen today was one of the (inmates), a brother in Christ named Ralph, was able to minister a song from his heart… This was so awesome!.. It was a song he wrote about someone praying for him… it was touching and incredibly anointed!
Then Bro. Andy VanArsdale came up and ministered a powerful word on forgiveness exhorting the men to leave bitterness behind them. It was a word in season. Several brothers came up during the altar call for prayer to be set free from the bondage of biterness and many also called out to Jesus!.. It was a beautiful thing.
Then it was time to dig into some good outreach food; great job by the food ministry team! What servants! All the guys loved it!.. Even the staff dug in.
We then had plenty of one on one time ministering to the guys as they ate. We prayed, shared, exhorted-we built some great relationships! I am so Hoping to connect with many of them as they re-enter to society.
Thanks for your prayers, service and support! God is moving in the Jails! ... To Jesus be praised!!
