Things #1

Six things I've learned about Monday night prison preaching ministry

1. There is no audience more receptive to the gospel message in all the audiences I preach to.

2. I never want to go. I am always glad I went.

3. The Spirit is always at work before we arrive. Our job is to join in His ministering.

4. Regardless of why they are in, it is tragic that many of these guys - pre-trial - have yet to see a lawyer after several months.

5. Detention center deputies are poorly paid, under-appreciated and nearly always helpful.

6. I agree with Joe: "You don't have to wonder if you are in the will of God when you are in the middle of a prison sharing Jesus." Yes.
