If you missed last weekend, you missed a BLESSING! We thought we were going to minister to 75 inmates at RCC, BUT we were ministered to as much as they were. The weekend was hardly believable!
Friday night Dr Russell Bush at 89 years young preached, with praise and worship, testimonies and ended the night with the Lord's Supper. His message was perfect for the weekend! Jesus Christ and a personal relationship with him that is life changing.
Saturday we had praise and worship, and sessions on Relationships with wives or finances, Relationships with children and Relationships with others. There were 11 tables with one or more facilitators at each table. During the afternoon we did foot washing and every man in the room had his feet washed at least once. There were many relationships healed among the inmates.
Several of the facilitators testified later "I'm not taking my shoes off and have my feet washed!" BUT as the feet were being washed and the tears started flowing and hearts started being mended, THE SHOES of the facilitators came off!!! Ain't God Good!
Many of the inmates said Sunday morning that they were up most of the night praying and repenting and reflecting on what God was doing in their lives.
They came Sunday morning to the smell of "Hot, Fresh Donuts". The donut place nearly stroked out when I ordered 30 dozen donuts at 6:24 AM to be picked up in 45 minutes. BUT Praise the Lord, they had them ready when I got there. Many were crying because they had not had a donut in many years.
After the Donuts, we had a session on our Relationship with God and the facilitators started annointing and praying over each inmate at his table. And then the inmates prayed over the facilitators. Then people were praying for each other all over the room.
The morning ended with me having the privilege of Baptizing 3 inmates. Praise God!!
We have already schedule another weekend for the second weekend in December. PLEASE mark your calenders and don't let anything stop you from coming!
God Bless everybody that came and ALWAYS remember it is not about us, but about Jesus Christ and him Crucified and Risen from the Grave!
