Pontiac cell by cell

What an awesome day at Pontiac with Prison Fellowship!! Two from CLCPP went down, and there were 12 others from other churches – 14 of us in all.   I’m convinced the power of prayer at our Friday night meeting opened hearts of many that otherwise would not have been open to the message of  Jesus Christ.  While I do not know of any direct salvations, many hearts were touched.  The men had questions that showed a true seeking attitude.  Some started out saying they were not interested and ended up asking for more information.  We were able to present the gospel of Jesus Christ to many in North House ( a more segregated area) and South PC which is a little more lenient area.  The next Pontiac visit is on March 22.  Please pray for us!

February CLC P&P meeting

The CLC Prayer and Praise held it’s February meeting on Friday evening, February 22.   There were 8 present.  Larry showed a DVD  on the Testimony of Michael Swiger, a prison chaplain from Ohio, who spent many years in prison.  A great testimony to the importance of prison ministry!  Discussion included the great impact correspondence has on those incarcerated – both to those who know and serve the Lord on the inside as well as those who still need to accept Him.  All agreed we need more laborers in this area.  Discussion of the work in progress at Pontiac was discussed by the volunteers involved there.  A new life-skill study on finances will be starting in March at Pontiac.  Also discussed was the ongoing Bible study on Sunday afternoon’s at Dixon.  Prayer is needed to cover both these ministries.  Discussion of Angel Tree was tabled until the March 20 meeting.  The next meeting will be Thursday March 20 at 6:30 pm.  Everyone interested in prison ministry/angel tree is encoueraged to be present.
