The sun was shining the last time they were here...
Today, however, it was pouring rain. Nevertheless, this afternoon, the light of Christ was ablaze in our chapel. It was a joyous time, and we were praising the Lord.
This afternoon from 12:45 till 3 p.m., there was a special worship service with approximately twenty members of the Manhattan Grace Tabernacle Church from New York City. They had come here last year. And once again they sounded like a choir of heavenly angels.
I sat near the back of our full chapel. This was a time for me to get spiritually refreshed and to be fed from the word of God, which Pastor Luis Rivera did. His message from Ephesians chapter 5 was a blessing.
Moreover, having some of this church's choir and ministry team with us is a once-a-year treat. I was especially encouraged to see about 15–20 inmates, who had never attended any of our Christian services, present. Some of them have been in this prison for several years, too.
In addition, this group of first timers included five Muslim men. Each one was scattered in the audience. I know that all of these Muslim prisoners probably thought they had come to this service simply because they were curious. Yet, I believe it was really the Holy Spirit of God who had drawn them in.
Many hearts were touched today, including mine.
