Re: !!!Exciting!!!!!

It is a halfway house or minimum security prison. Thought maybe I should clear that up.

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.
That's awesome news!

Tremendous. Doesn't sound like bragging to me; just an exceptional report of God's work. How blessed we are to be so involved.
