Amazing Power in the Word of God - back from Prison

Update from Kairos MC#33

(picture from our Nicaragua Mission trip - Prison Prayer)

It was amazing and showed me just how very BIG and Powerful the Gospel is. We met with 36 inmates locked into a single building due to the status of this group, everything from life sentence, murder, thieves, addicts ,rapist, sexual predators, gang leaders ,etc. The darkest people you could possibly meet. Most of them had similar stories, no father growing up, sexual abuse, abandonment, addictions all a very young age. We spent the four days going through a series of talks (from the bible), interactions as small "family" groups and worship. We Listen, Listen and Loved, Loved on them with Agape love. The other common theme for many in this group of men, no one had ever told them about the God of the bible and showed them love with no strings attached.

Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and the message of God's amazing Mercy and Grace was so very powerful that we began to see "life change" as the Hold Spirit entered the deepest parts, removing fears and pains of several of the men and changed them (from the inside - out). It was on the third day that we began to see more men, talking about their prayers, some for the first time in their life, to God and how He answered them. They are still living in a prison but several now have hope, not of this world but for eternity.

Thank you all for your prayers. I will be back at MCI this weekend teaching men how to gather in small groups to do "Prayer and Share", growing in the word of God and helping others to understand the life changing power of the Gospel. So keep praying...

Prison Ministry - Kairos MCI#33

To my dearest,

I have a request for you over the next few days. We, 36 men of Kairos MC#33, will be going into Martin County Corrections prison for 4 days starting. We go to bring the Good News and saving power of the Gospel to a people that live and exist in the darkness and isolation of prison. Our Lord and savior has commanded us, "Teach them to observe all that I have commanded you" (Matt. 28:20), Jesus tells us in a word, "Go".

Jesus said, "For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me." (Matt. 25:35-36)

Many will be praying throughout the weekend, that lives will be changed by the powerful word of our almighty God, that the Holy Spirit will be working to take away their heart of stone then replace with hearts filled with Jesus, flowing with living water of the Spirit, filled with light, we pray that our efforts will glorify God in advancing the Gospel.

The Apostle Paul wrote while in prison to the church in Philippi, explaining how God works all things to His plan..."and most of the brothers (in prison), having become confident in the Lord by my imprisonment, are much more bold to speak the word without fear" (Phili 1:14). I pray that many will pray, share, surrender and become bold in the word of God as result of our four days in MCI and bring glory to the risen King of Kings, the name above all names, Jesus Christ.

I also pray for you and your families that your hearts may be filled with the joy and love of knowing the truth.

We will be using the simple Kairos approach....Listen, Listen, Love, Love.

"I assure you: Anyone who hears My word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not come under judgment but has passed from death to life." (John 5:24)

Love from God's Servant, for His glory,
