Sunday I went into one of the prisons in Florence Az. At the close of the service one of the inmates gave me this list and asked for prayer for them. I will not use any last names.
Sandra...whose mother died
Veronica whose brother attempted Suicide
Wencesalo C. the inmate
Raymone and Alfonzo...brothers of Wencesalo
Tina, Alica ...sisters of Wencesalo
Patiricia...Wencesalo's mother
These inmates take prayer very seriously and take their Christian life very seriously. Last night over 50 inmates gathered to sing praises to God and listen to me speak the Word...it is an exciting thing to work with these men, most of all who are believers or seekers. Church service is optional so they come by their own choice. Usually one or two may leave during the service but most stay and respond. Pray for prisoners everywhere. They are lonely, abandoned and know they have messed up. All of them are so appreciative of the support of volunteers and never take them for granted. Here is a wonderful example of "the fields are white for harvest but the laborers are few". Anyway...just quickly mention these names in prayer. Dan, another inmate, is being released today...pray for strength and wisdom for him. Others will be released soon and don't even have a place to go...
