We had our first service at the prison in Fayette, Ms Saturday night December 13. The devil has been fighting to keep us out. I was approached 6 months ago about going in, but the door kept getting slammed. Ten days before the thirteenth, Chaplain Wiggleworth made it all happen in about 5 minutes, I had turned it over to the Lord the week before and thru up my hands.
Thank you Chaplain Wigglesworth, Warden Caho, Chaplain Turner and the staff at Fayette.
We had 8 people to go in that night, we first ate at Mr. Arthur Davis's restaurant in Lorman, The Country Store, best fried chicken in the South. If you don't believe me either ask him or try it yourself.
The service started at 6:10 and last for 3 hours, Amazing. We had 6 people had to cancel at the last minute, we went in with no singers, but the Lord provided a singing group and a young man that sang and played the guitar from within the facility. We even had Joseph, the husband of Mary, the mother of Jesus, show up and tell about his engagement,the birth of Jesus and his marriage to Mary.
Arthur Davis and Richard Cruel are planning on going in on a regular basis and we plan on going once every other month to have a worship service with them.
The Lord now has us working in the prisons in Fayette, McComb, Columbia, Hattiesburg and Angie, La. Thank you Lord for using a poor old rag tag group like us to carry your gospel to our Jerusalem!
Weekly Devotional
By Max Lucado
Dependable people are like diamonds. They are precious because they are so rare. Experience and know-how are great assets, but they are not much good without trustworthiness. Talent is wonderful, but by itself its not enough. Far better to be a faithful christian. Are you? Like Timothy and Epaphroditus , are you a role model for others? Determine to be a person others can rely on. Keep your word. Show up. Be consistent. Live for others. Take risks . Be a "go to" guy or gal. Make it your goal, by God's grace, to exemplify a life of spiritual steadiness.
