Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood around the world. After you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen and establish you.   (1 Peter 5:8-10)

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. (Romans 12:12) Praise God for this instruction given to use via Paul!! I remember there are several places in the Bible where God instructs us to be joyful in all things. I know sometimes we let what is going on in this world, in our families or maybe even work steal our joy. I find I have to be ever mindful to remember to look up to the One who gives us joy in salvation. We can also be joyful in the hope we have in this ministry as the Lord is starting to open more hearts and doors to share what this ministry is all about with others including those who are supervising the institutions we would like to get into. This is so exciting!! I know there are some of you who want to be more involved, however your health or  circumstances seem to be hindering you. Please be patient as God says and He will make a way for you to help when it is your time.   With prayer all of this will come together to work for His good in His time! Having a heart to serve in this ministry is much appreciated no matter what your contribution is!! Praise God for our new State Chair who has a heart on fire to serve. She is located in a hot spot for possible doors to open for this ministry to get inside a couple men’s institutions. The Lord is even working through her in bodily affliction. Isn’t it awesome how God works amazing things when we are sometimes at our weakest?! This is just one of our many praises in which I will share a few here: We praise God for those of you who have helped to financially

“With your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall.” Psalm 18:29 I love it when I read of the Lord God’s help that is given to us all who! When I read this verse, I was reminded of all the walls this ministry has been encountering whenever we try to get inside of the correctional institutions. We hear that the lack of staffing is awful or there is a lack of space. We also get told of all the things we cannot bring in. Here David reminds us that we can overcome the challenges we face through fervent prayer. The Lord will give us guidance as we navigate through the issues and patiently wait for when He says it is time to go in. The Lord God will help us scale the walls to get inside when the timing is right even though many of us would prefer it to be sooner. Let’s trust in God and His will in this matter. While we are waiting though, we know we also need to be prepared for the day when we are told we can go inside. While you are praying about your involvement in Kairos Prison Ministry and you find that you do not know enough about Kairos Prison Ministry International and it’s programs, please reach out to me, Carlene Griffith  and either myself or someone else who is knowledgeable can be available to help you. I can also find others or myself to come speak at any Christian function or Christian church to help educate and spread the word. Remember, Christ forgave us of our sins and showed us mercy and has called us to do the same for all who have made bad choices in their lives. Wouldn’t it be
