When I moved to Oklahoma almost 3 years ago, I never expected that the Lord would pull me out of the comfort of the career I had been in for the last 20 years and thrust me into something that I knew very little about. In these last couple of years, since He unveiled His vision for my life, the Lord has connected me with amazing people and organizations and He has blessed me by allowing me into spaces that I never would have imagined myself stepping into!
By serving with Prison Fellowship, I have gotten to go cell to cell and minister and pray with people on death row, talk to them about their kids and see pictures of their families. I've stepped into minimum, medium and maximum security correctional facilities and worked with the men and women housed there to ensure that their children would get a Christmas present from their mom or dad who is behind bars. I've been blessed to step onto correctional housing units where no other volunteer has been for more than 17 years... and for the last 3 months, every Monday evening, I am blessed to teach a class about God with two other volunteers at a local men's correctional facility. Most importantly, however, I have been helping raise awareness for a man who was wrongfully incarcerated 12 years ago and I believe God is about to work a miracle to set this man free from wrongful imprisonment. I'm also hoping to work with my church as they branch out into prison ministry.
I believe this is all just a small piece of what the Lord is going to do through my life through this ministry. RAP, Inc is still in its infancy and although the Lord instructed me to hit pause "for now", He has already shown me what this organization can and will be...in His timing...not mine. My job is to be patient and obedient and to trust in what the Lord is going to do here. His word does NOT return to Him void! His promises are YES and AMEN!!! ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป
