!!!Exciting!!!!!
 
Last night I preached to some inmates with our newly formed prison ministry. I have never done this before, but what happened was exciting (for me at least) as I've never done this before. I have been used to preaching in a traditional church and occasionally in a nursing home; however, I had lots of fun getting to know some inmates and delivering the word.

This ministry was started from our church a couple of weeks ago and they started with 7 members. The following week they had the same number. However, when I started preaching last night we went from 8 to 15. They kept coming in one at a time to hear the message.

Please forgive me if it sounds like I am bragging (you guys know I really don't do this), but at the end of the service they all came to the alter as God drew them. I've never experienced this before. GOD is good! I give God credit for using a sinner saved by grace such as me.
