We've been going to the local jail since the beginning of October and it has been an awesome, albeit uncomfortable at times, growing experience for us.
The guys have been going through the book of Philippians with the male inmates and Cameron taught for the first time a few weeks ago. He did a great job and found that he really enjoyed teaching without notes! Jim, who is on staff here, had once told Cameron that if someone asked him a question about me he would (or at least should) be able to answer it without saying he needed to study and get back to them. Cameron took that example to heart and went through the first couple chapters of Philippians and just talked about our Lord.
The ladies have been going through the book King of Glory which is basically the seventy chronological Bible lessons condensed to one page each with an illustration. My first time teaching was a couple weeks ago and that was the first time I had ever taught a group of people over the age of ten. Not only that but the lesson that fell to me was the fall of Satan. Not going to lie I was pretty nervous. But it went sooooooo well! I was so pumped up afterward that I was ready to do it again!
The Lord is growing us so much through this ministry and really teaching us a lot about people. It's sometimes hard for us to reconcile that there are believers in jail but then we are reminded that we all still struggle with sin just some sin cross into the legal realm and others do not. Please continue to pray for us as we go to the jail and shine the Light of Christ.
Don't forget! We have set up a fundraising account with Equal Exchange and they will send us 25% of all purchases! We only receive the 25% from the unique URL they have given to us so be sure to use the following link (our names are at the top of the site). http://fundraiser.
