Women's Prison

We just got back from an amazing morning at the womens prison where our friend James works at.
Some saturday mornings we go out to the women's section of the prison and just spend time with the women and their babies, whom they're allowed to keep with them until they are around 4 years old, and sing, share from the Bible, and pray with them.
This morning we went and thought we were only going to be there a short time, but ended up staying for almost 2 hours. It was amazing to see the faces of these women.

We each shared one of our favorite verses from the New Testament and why it was a favorite. Allison and Andrew spoke from Ephesians, I spoke from Hebrews 11, Umi's was from John, our friends Felix and James spoke from Philippians and Romans...Between all of us I think we covered the New Testament pretty well...
Then one of the women prisoners shared her favorite verse and then Jane, the women's prison pastor...
Its almost impossible to describe to anyone an amazing moment in your life and get them to understand, but this morning at the prison was one of those moments. At the end 10 women inmates decided to accept Christ into their hearts. I've been present when people decide to become Christians so many times, and not to downplay those moments at all, but there was just something different and super intimate about getting to be there with these women this morning.
We don't see them everyday, in fact, we dont go there as often as we would like, but the prison definitely holds a special place in our hearts, so to be a part of this morning, I feel so blessed. Keep these women in your prayers, they are truly beautiful and wonderful women
