Prison ministry is a good place
00:00:01.36\00:00:03.03
to touch people's
lives who are hurting.
00:00:03.06\00:00:05.33
Lemuel, tell us about that?
00:00:05.37\00:00:07.50
Brian, what would
you say to someone
00:00:07.54\00:00:10.24
that's laying in
the hospital ward
00:00:10.27\00:00:11.91
in a prison,
00:00:11.94\00:00:13.27
that's ready to die with cancer.
00:00:13.31\00:00:15.24
I walked up to him,
and I opened my Bible
00:00:15.28\00:00:16.81
and I shared the
Lord is my shepherd,
00:00:16.85\00:00:18.41
and for some reason
I stopped and I said,
00:00:18.45\00:00:20.45
do you know the
Lord is your shepherd?
00:00:20.48\00:00:22.45
He shook his head, no.
00:00:22.48\00:00:23.82
We had prayer, we
shared the 23rd Psalm
00:00:23.85\00:00:26.55
and as he began
to close his eyes,
00:00:26.59\00:00:28.49
he was weeping with tears.
00:00:28.52\00:00:30.59
I prayed that you will see
him in the kingdom of heaven
00:00:30.63\00:00:33.43
because he made a
decision for Christ
00:00:33.46\00:00:35.36
at the closing
moments of his life.
00:00:35.40\00:00:38.33
We encourage anyone to
give prison ministry a try.
00:00:38.37\00:00:44.24
Every county has a jail.
00:00:44.27\00:00:46.24
You can be involved
there or a state prison.
00:00:46.27\00:00:49.34
This is an opportunity to help
00:00:49.38\00:00:51.21
mend the lives of broken people.
00:00:51.25\00:00:53.28
Our time has slipped
away, we have to save good bye.
00:00:53.31\00:00:56.22
God bless.
00:00:56.25\00:00:57.59
