Matthew 25: 38 - 40. When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

JAIL MINISTRY

 

We have ministerd in the Parker County Jail, Navarro County Jail, John R. Lindsey State Jail, and the Montague County Jail, all in Texas.  We have also ministered in twenty-two Brazilian jails, and will be visiting more on our next mission trip. Brother Gastons from the Gideons has been donating the Bibles and because of the large turn over in a county jail, we have given away many Bibles. 

The Lord is working with signs wonders and miracles in the jail frequently and to read about them go to the Signs, Wonders, and Miracles page by clicking on the menu to the left. 

WITNESSING TIP

Here's a great witnessing idea. I suggest that when you witness, don't get all uptight about it. A lot of people have already been witnessed to, especially here in the United States, and because of one reason or another, have been turned off by it.

So try to see "where that person is coming from" as they say in the vernacular of today. Or as Paul put it in 1 Cor. 9:22, "...I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some." Maybe your best witnessing tool just might be to tell what God did in your life, and that they also can have a life changing experience with God. Usually people are willing to listen to a story. Yours is probably exciting, but even if it isn't you probably know of one that is. If you don't, there is a cure for that. Do you know what it is?

Another witnessing tip we've discovered by working the jail ministry is that if you seek out hurting people, you have a much more receptive audience. Someone who needs and asks for help will listen to the Gospel. Go and seek them out!
