I am Tired, but happy

It's 12:16 AM, Friday night.
This is the weekend for the spring KERYX Prison Ministry at the Chippewa Facility, which is a level 3 with level 4 inmates., We spend 4 days locked inside Prisons for 15 hours a day, Bringing the word of Christ to Men in chains. I should be sleeping on my cot at the Assembly of God church in Kinross Michigan or discussing Theology with my Brethren right now, But instead I am printing out Agape Gifts for the Inmates. The Prison notified us that we can no longer take team photos of the outside volunteer's with the Inmates, so I am making a word doc as a remembrance of who was there that has all of our names and what our tasks were that weekend. Seeing that some men travel Hundreds of miles to be the hands of Christ and I am only 35 miles from the Prison that I was asked to do this task. So I drove home at 9:00 and here I are, AND I am pleased to do that.

At Chippewa Correctional this is our 26th weekend bring men to a personal relationship with God through Christ. That's 650 men, some don't stay with God, most do, in the general population the recidivism rate is around 68% ours is around 25%. Though we are not there to get them out, our make their lives a subject of Movies. It is to proclaim the word of God for 4 days and them we are gone, and then come back for weekly Bible study's and monthly Group sharing.

I am Tired and have 4 days to go.

We men of Chippewa Area Keryx do this right now in 4 Prisons, There are other groups in Michigan that also minister to 5 other Prisons.

The Miracles I have seen.
God is good

May God, Bless you

When Love comes to town

It has been a week, The Killings at Virginia Tech has rocked us all, There is so much stuff being said and is any of it relevant? I am a Christian, I follow Christ, and even though I have studied in Lay School how and who wrote the Bible, I believe without a doubt the words of Jesus. And so if there were Demons and evil spirits when Jesus walked, then did they disappear? or are they still here. Can they multiply or is the number of demons a fixed number?

Yes I believe in mental Illness and I also believe that some people are evil, and possessed. Separate and apart from Mental illness. So what to do? Trust in the Lord. Stuff will happen, always did, It's the free will thing. But in Prayer God sooths the storm or sooths the child.

This is not our home, we are just burning embers here, We are to register experiences for Gods own good, and we are to love our brothers and sisters to bring them to Christ Jesus. Mr. Cho, My God have mercy on his soul, and may he bless his family.

Evil was let loosed upon that campus, but love is the greater power, tears the healing balm, Come Holy Spirit, Bring us revival, through Christ.
