On Saturday the 23rd, Ana and I went to prison. One of the women that we are discipling in 7 de Junio has a brother that has been in the prison for the past 4 years for something he says that he did not do. His sister-in-law made the accusation. We do not know who is telling the truth, but we do know that he is a man who needs the grace of God just as much as the rest of us. With Senora Lima guiding us, we found him in his workshop making dressers and armoires. Men in the prison become expert carpenters and women become professional seamstresses. They can also crochet anything you could possibly desire and more. Anyway, we spent a couple hours in there talking with him. He is frustrated with the system. He is upset with his lawyer for seemingly doing nothing. He listened intently as I recounted stories of Saul who became Paul and spent time in the slammer as well. We left a Bible with him, and hope to come visit him again soon. Please be in prayer for this man as he waits out his days. Pray that he will allow God to transform his life, and accept the peace and joy that Paul felt. Perhaps this young man can be used as Paul was, to share the Gospel with other inmates and prison guards…
