November 14th 2010
I think its time for an update,
what do you think?????
Most of you who read this blog keep up with us on at least a monthly basis so you already know about a lot of what will be in this blog post. Sorry
We had planned to go back to India in May, however, the lord closed that door and it turned out that the day we would have landed in Rajahmundry a cyclone hit the area, so the Lord knew best and protected us.
WE did go this past Sept/Oct for 10 days and had a wonderful time. ( This was Steves 3rd trip and my 2nd )
WE stay in a hotel in the city and travel back and forth via a rented car and driver.
That alone is an experience everyone should have at least once in their lives. (HA HA )
It was great to see Williams and his family again as well as the ministry team and other pastors.
WE spoke twice a day in a different church each time. We did 2 baptismal services with about 40 people being baptized and gave away over 100 Bibles. Many to the staff at the hotel who would come to our room one by one and confess quietly that they are a christian too.
It was a blessing to go and pray that the Lord will touch the hearts of others to come along side and help with this growing ministry.
The orphanage is finished except for the showers. When we began the building project there were 20 orphans . There are now 50. In addition to this Williams would like to begin a new Orphanage in another area where he over see's other pastors. They would also like to start a new church in the Orissa state if the Lord leads and provides. Williams ministry is a non denominational ministry. He is not associated with any church or other organization.
Steve is tentatively planning another trip back in October of next year so if you would like to go please contact us.
In addition to the India ministry Three Fold is still very active in the prison in Angie La. We just finished our big weekend out reach where we take motorcycles onto the yard and cook hamburgers for the inmates as well as have 2 worship services. This year we cooked 1000 burger and gave everyone of them away. We had over 750 men come to the services and took some burgers to the men in the infirmary and to others who were unable to come. We LOVE the prison band and choir! They are awesome!
Steve and I have just recently been asked to serve with Harvest Ministries, a christian retreat center in south Mississippi. Steve is now the director of ministries and I will be serving on the board. WE are so excited and blessed by what the Lord has done and is doing in our lives.
I just don't understand why He is so good to us, but I'm glad He is!

Worship Service Feb 20th
Steve and I were unable to go to the worship service this past weekend at Rayburn correctional so I have ask Tabitha to write something about it for the blog:
We had a great worship service at Angie Correctional facility. We had 13 that went in with us this time and a lot of new faces. We were very proud to have them come and had some great fellowship and worship with them.
The choir sang and it was awesome! There was alot of singing and speaking from our new attendees; and even some old hands. It was a joyous time in the Lord, wish you could have been there to enjoy it with us.
Next time, be sure you come with us, we'd be glad to have ya!
Thank you Tabitha.
Remember if you are not already on the approval list to go in you have to fill out an application and then it takes 2 weeks to be approved, so plan ahead if you think you would like to come.

Feb 2010
WOW its been a long time since we posted anything!!!!! Im not even going to begin to tell you all that has happened since last summer. Well, except....Steve went back to India in November and we have done a number of worship services at the prison in Angie and even a big one with hamburgers etc........
Steve and Mike still go every Monday and Tuesday to RCC for mentoring classes
and the womens Bible Study just finished " A Womens Heart " by Beth Moore and will be taking a break until next fall so that I can prepare for the womens conference in India. ( Im not like Steve. I cant just stand up and start preaching)
I do need some pictures of the prison outreach if anyone has any.
WE go back to India in June and would love some of you to go with us.
Keep Shane and Tabitha in your prayers this summer as well as they go to africa with members of their church.
Tomorrow is a worship service at RCC and those going need to meet at 4:00 at Ol Hickory in Angie.
Remember you have to be on the approved list to go in and it takes about 2 weeks after you have filled out an application to be approved.
Thanks to all of you who so faithfully come along side us and serve Jesus through Three Fold Ministries...God is Good!
