Crown Financial goes to Pontiac!

   We have been given the privilege of conducting a Crown Financial Bible study in Pontiac Correctional Center.   The first session was  April 17 and we had 10 in attendance.  At first Larry and I were concerned.  Our desire was to take the course about handling money God’s way to the minimun security area to inmates who would soon be released.  However, we were instead asked to give the study in the protective custody wing where most of the inmates have life sentences.   A great deal of (sorry to admit – worry), prayer and changing our minds on how to teach the subject went on for a month prior to starting the course.  We actually were still discussing how to present it as we made the 1-1/2 hour drive down.  But God knew what He was up to, and who He wanted to hear about His principles of handling money.  The principles apply not only to money, but to every aspect of our lives – we knew that – we just didn’t know how the inmates would respond.  Well, Praise God! we had a great session, much discussion and feedback from the group.  They were enthusiastic, not only about what they, themselves, were getting out of it – but what they could pass on to their families on the outside.  We are looking forward to  tomorrow’s session (Thursday April 24).  Keep us in prayer each Thursday.
