Here is a note from one of our Volunteer Overcomers Facilitator's, Margaret Lee:
First off-we are still having lock down issues.
Everything is closed starting this morning at the prison. The Chaplain called this morning to tell us the prison is on lock down until further notice-he is hoping only a week or perhaps two. I don't know what the cause is but have a suspicion as there are many new young inmates and many previous gang members and possibly some racial tension along with it.
So, Satan is trying his very best to stop the progress of the Gospel. Our guys were doing so good-lots of questions and issues about personal Christianity and Christian character-how do you handle all the bad stuff happening in our families and in our lives-etc. We had a BIG Catholic issue come up with the Spanish inmates-most of them have not been in a Catholic church in years and have no idea of the changes-some still believe that only the Priest can read the Bible-so this is good-Mike was raised Catholic so he had credibility with the men-we have a Spanish friend in a Charismatic Catholic church who is going to come talk to the inmates about changes in the church and a personal relationship with Jesus-that will be really good. Hope we get the chance to have this happen-it will open the door to a spiritual revival among the Spanish inmates.
