back to prison

Hello all from Patrick.

Tuesday.

Well we got up at 5 and and went to church for prayer from 6 to 7, we will be doing this everyday this week. Thats right 6 am PRAYER MEETING and around 200 people show up...amazing. It is an inspiring thing to see all these people giving God their first fruits. There is some intercessory corprate prayer & a whole lot of free form pouring out of hearts...moving.

About 7:30 am Cam, Mike, Terry & I arrived at Goma Central Prison. I spoke here last year and remember it well. This year I spoke to them about how no disipline is enjoyable while it is happening but that afterwards is a peacefull harvest of right living. I also encouraged them to mark out a straight path for their lives and offered them biblical tools they can use to help make that happen. In closing I offered an oppertunity to give their lives to the Lord & for back slides to re commit...over 50 hands went up and they prayed the sinners prayer w/ us. PARTY IN HEAVEN.

Then we went to C&E's Learning Center and worked on the foundation for the class room our church is sponsoring...our estimation is that we haved moved over 4000 pounds of rock so far, by hand. It has been tough work and slow going (a given in Congo) but the project is coming along and I belive we will finish it with in a week.

SHOUT OUT TO THE GUYS, AND SHOTGUN AT THE GENESIS HOUSE. KEEP ENCOURAGING & SHARPENING EACH OTHER. SEE YOU SOON BROTHERS.

Miss you all.

Peace,
Patrick
