Prison Ministry

We went to Avery-Mitchell Correctional Institution last Thursday and sang to about a hundred inmates. This has been one of the most impacting ministry events we've done so far! At first we were all scared (because as you know, these guys are in there for a reason). But just seeing the inmates listen to the music & the Word, and to see them smile, it was a blast! After the presentation, most of them approached us and talked to us, and some of them were teary-eyed while talking to us. Matt gave his testimony & it was great. He even prayed with a guy after the presentation. Too bad cameras weren't allowed inside. There was even a Fil-Am inmate we got to talk to.

For a study in contrast, their kitchen was almost like a student cafeteria (i think it was cleaner than most restaurants in Cebu, seriously). The "cells" (if you want to call them that, it was more like rooms) had their own bathrooms  :)  And security was SUPER STRICT! and many more...

Our next ministry is Sunday at Mt. Calvary Baptist Church, Banner Elk, NC. Pls continue to pray for us...
