request.

       On Thursday my step-father, Dave, and 50+ other men will be going to prison... sounds funny right? What did he do?
       Well, nothing.  Dave and these men are going to be with the prisoners, not A prisoner.  They are spending time with them to show these prisoners Jesus.  Carry His name into their cells. Dave is a wise man with a lot of knowledge in God's word.  Him and the other men need our prayers.
       The fear of judging the prisoners is at hand because of the crimes they have committed.  I would say one big request of prayer is that the love that his been shown to these men would carry through to the prisoners NO MATTER what they have done in their past.
       I'm believing that God's hand is not too short too reach the prisoners.  So, would you pray for them? The men, for physical protection while they are in the prison for the weekend.  Also for the men that they would only love and not judge as that temptation WILL be there.
       For the prisoners, that their hearts would be softened and prepared to meet Jesus.  Doubts that they could ever be forgiven, I'm sure, are in their mind. My hope is for these prisoners to stop believing the lie that they could not be forgiven and allow Jesus to love them.

Here is a video that shows a little bit of the weekend to be...


"The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient towards you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance."
2 Peter 3:9
