Still very busy

Yes we are still alive and kicking and the Lord still reigns. We want to give ya'll a report of what God has been doing through Faith Prison Ministry.

We have been going to the Goree Unit on the first Sunday of every month. We go to the chapel in the building for our 7 am worship service and then we get to go out to the trustee camp for the 10 am service. We have about 100 in the building services and about 75 for the trustee services.

We have been trying to convey that God is always in control whether we acknowledge it or not. He has been in control since he created all this and has been doing the same thing from the beginning of time. Trying to get us to realize that he wants us to get involved in his work here on this earth helping hurting people find peace with their
creator. That's why he said seek ye first the Kingdom of God and then all these other things will be added unto you. But for some reason we are still waving our arms trying to get his attention so we could explain to him how we would like things to be after all he is God and he could solve all my problems if he would just listen to me. But God has his own plan to solve out problems and it has been working from the beginning of time. But we still try over and over and seem always to fall short because we as his creation tries to tell the creator what we want to be. The same story as the clay telling the potter what he wants to be.

God has allowed us to go to Ferguson unit on the first Sunday night of every month also on the first Friday nigh of the month we get to go to Ellis unit where I worked as maintenance Boss for 7 years. This is where I was when the Lord called me into the prison Ministry I sort of see the Ellis Unit as my sending church. We also have been going to the Hamilton unit which is a pre release unit and we get to present the gospel to the guys for the last time and I always tell them I hope I never see them again on this side of heaven unless they come visit me at the Faith Baptist Church in Madisonville, Texas.

It is sad that statics work against these guys as they say nine out of ten will return to prison. Which brings up my saying that I teach over and over. If you always do what you have always done, then you will always get what you always got! But on the flip side of those statics is that only one out of ten return when they fully get involved in a faith based curriculum. Big change!!! After all, Christ tells us that we become new creatures. I guess you could say that our wants change as well!


I will try and keep up with this I hope God continues to bless you.
