SERVING JESUS AT FOLSOM LAKE PRISON

Dear Ministry Partners and Friends,

Thank you so very much for your prayers and financial support you sent in this month! The month of December was spent closer to the town of Placerviller, CA serving people in that area. 

Right before Christmas I had an opportunity to go and teach the Word at Folsom Lake Prison, which is not very far from Placerville. Some 80 inmates showed up for the service that afternoon! As soon as everyone got into the chapel, the praise and worship team started singing Christmas songs and giving thanks to the Lord! All of us stood on our feet and worshipped the Lord from the bottom of our hearts! It was a full-blown praise band with a couple of guitarists, bass guitarist, keyboarder, drummer and a couple of vocalists! I loved their worship! It was lively too! The name of Jesus was magnified! 

Pastor Nick shared from the Book of Philimon and  I shared from the Book of Luke. The focus of my teaching was on living out the gospel in every aspect of our lives and walking in the Light of God knowing that the Father is busy saving souls through us! It was so obvious the Lord anointed His Word! It was so easy for me to do an alter call that afternoon! More than 10 people came forward for prayer. I was blessed to see some of them giving their lives to the Lord, or recommitting their lives and getting right with Jesus! It was a powerful service! We all had a blessed time at Folsome Lake Prison! Hallelujah!!!!
