I Want to Talk About Religion Peacefully

As a guy who used to work with prisoners, up close and personal, you need to ALWAYS be aware that things could go south really, really fast. Don't trust an inmate. Doesn't mean you can't do your work. But it does mean what they're saying is not necessarily what they're thinking.

My brother is involved in prison ministry as well. I believe he'll be doing it this weekend too. I'll be praying that the Lord gives you His words to speak, his eyes to see, his heart to express his love to each person you meet. I'll also pray that he prepares the hearts of each person you speak with, that a seed would be planted and would grow within their soul... that they would come to a saving knowledge and relationship with the God who created and loves them so much. ☺

May you be blessed personally as you continue in this ministry.

Fishers of men. I will pray for them and you and all of us.

May those you seek to reach feel HIs amazing Grace. Amen.

Both of my grandpas are retired preachers. They use to do prison ministry. I think it would be both neat and sad to talk to inmates. (Sad because of their stories!)

I know someone who did that. His conviction was admired- even though recruitment always failed. His best success was when he stopped talking about God and Jesus and started treating inmates as men with working brains and a possible future.

I couldn’t have said it any better than Gethsemane. I pray for safety too.

Thanks for all the comments znd prayers. I have been dooming this regularly since 1998 it is truly a bless.

Please bring em some cigarettes
