Goodmorning, lobby call was at 7:10am, we loaded in the van and Mary led us in prayer with expectation for a great day with our brothers behind the prison walls.
Southwestern Correctional
We arrived at the facility for an 8:30am program and held in the gym 150 men came
out and 9 souls were saved. What we begin to notice is majority of the facilities were looking alike. After a while we began to ask, "Didn't we come here already?".
Big Muddy Correctional
The show started on time and we were in the gym
they were lined up in the hall to come in. They piled up in the
bleachers, and was excited to be there. The sound system was awesome we
had 177 men came to the program and 14 accepted Christ.
Pickneyville Correctional
We arrived at the prison and we met the Chaplain who
was a young guy over 6 feet tall. You can feel the strongholds and the tension. The sound system was pretty good, there were 88 guys that
signed up, but only 24 were allowed to come out (don't know what that was all about). After all, they knew we were coming. However, the program went well,
but six officers came in the gym and just stood. Our thoughts was why 6
officers are in the gym to watch 24 inmates. We worked hard to pull
down the strongholds, but we had a great time. We had a possible maybe to Christ (insider lol). One of the brothers asked our friend Kit (guest speaker) what was he doing there for Black History month?See Kit is a white guy, and he asked some more questions, I won't go into.
The night ended with us traveling about 2 hours to get to the next city for the tour. We made a Burger King stop for dinner, because there was not much open in the small town we were headed to. Of course I slept most of those 2 hours.
