Rejoice! God Is In The Prisons

Ξ October 2nd, 2007 | → Comments Off | ∇ My Thoughts, News, Prayer |

I wrote about this on another blog of mine but I had to share this tonight with you. A friend of mine called me a little while ago, crying. I asked her what was the matter and she could hardly talk to me. Having been there before with her, I realized that the Lord had touched her in a major way. When she was able to talk, she told me that NBC Nightly News had done a story on how Jesus is in the prison system now in a big way.

For instance, Angola prison in Louisiana is or has been called the bloodiest prison in America. It is also the largest. For years, the prisoners there, mostly lifers, were extremely violent and mean. Then, apparently about ten years ago, the ministries began to visit. Since then, most of the inmates have turned to Jesus and there is literally no violence there now. What a blessing of God.

This video is one found on Youtube. To get to the report from NBC Nightly News just click on the link above.

While they are having great results in the prisons now, we still need to pray for the wonderful prison ministries that take the time to go and visit those who need Jesus so much.

Billy Graham Hospitalized

Ξ August 19th, 2007 | → Comments Off | ∇ News |

From time to time, I will be putting news items up that affect Christians in some way. This time, Billy Graham is hospitalized for intestinal bleeding. As of the last report I saw, he was resting comfortably after treatment. They do not believe his condition is life threatening at this time. This is a time for prayer for this warrior of the Lord.

Please continue to pray for his family due to their loss of Billy’s wife of 64 years.
