Day ???

Our God is so great. This morning we spent time in prayer for God to open our hearts and make our hearts like His as we prepared to enter the prison. We reflected on the fact that the prisoners are God's beloved children and that His love is for them is greater than our greatest love. We of course had some apprehensions about being locked in a high security prison, but what God would do next knocked us to our knees.

Upon arrival we had to surrender our passports and be searched. Then we followed our leaders into a Church in the middle of the jail. We then noticed there was a soccer field, swimming pool, basketball goal, and a very open atmosphere. The Pastor Felix introduced us to all of the leaders of the church, who all were convicts, and they instantly became our brothers.

We had planned a lot of things for the kids visiting but it ended up that we did a massive service of about 125 men. We sang some songs and then Matt preached the Gospel and God met us there in the prison. 76 men came forward to receive Christ. Glory to God! We then had the privilege of praying with many men and worshiping among them. We are all in awe that God would use us.

Then we ate at an amazing place called Tuesday's and made our way to the Nursing Home. We had awesome fellowship with them. We sang songs, prayed for them, and made salvation bracelets for them. We had such an amazing time today. God moved in their hearts, but also changed ours.
