Macomb Correctional Facility

After only having a few days to adjust back to the American culture, we were scheduled to minister at the Macomb Correctional Facility. This state prison can appear intimidating from the outside, but inside we have come to know some precious brothers in the Lord. We were greeted with smiling faces and friendly greetings. They were telling us that they had read our blog about Colombia and had been faithfully praying for us. It was so refreshing after a week in a developing country to find so many of them had kept us up in prayer. The ministry on Sunday, not only reported about the poor street children in Colombia and what Jesus was doing there, but it brought many of these men to a vulnerable place where they had similar childhoods. We taught on the Father's blessing. At the conclusion of the ministry, one young man said "thank you, now it all makes sense." Another said " Thank you, that was emotional for me, but if I cry they will label me emotional and put me with the crazy guys."
