First time for some to enter a prison.
First time to have a meal with their spouse.
First time in four years for a visit.
First time to spend 5 hours together at once in over 27 years.
We are blessed. We have had an experience that only a few handfuls of people have ever had a chance to. We were witness tonight to a beautiful moment in the lives of 21 individual couples. They let us into a world that is sometime so guarded that even family is not privy to.
WVIW does not do "prison ministry". Instead we get to share life's experiences with some of the strongest, most encouraging, interesting, and faithful people in the world. We have been given an opportunity to be a part of their life for a short period of time and we take this responsibility very seriously.
We plan for every minute of the weekend to be special but we have also learned to expect the unexpected. With a group this large and this different from each other there is always something so NEW and so beautiful that happens. We come set up the atmosphere for God to work on all of us. We will all leave this weekend with a LASTING change in our lives and in our hearts.
