And let us not be weary in well doing:
for in due season we shall reap,
if we faint not.
Galatians 6:9
The above Scripture greatly encouraged me today in light of what I've been experiencing during my afternoons at the prison's "Intermediate Care Program (E-North)."

This is a part of the facility where some of the inmates who are mentally challenged live.
The handful of Christians who live in this area have become increasingly hungry for God's word, and they've been expressing a desire for a deeper walk with Jesus. I have, as a result, been elated to see such a thirst in these men.
Nowadays, whenever I come to work, one or more of the guys will want to talk to me about the Lord, or they'll have a question about the Bible. I've noticed, too, that each man has an aura of peace and joy within him.
Yet there's been times, however, during the many years of working here, when it seemed as if I was laboring in a dry and barren field. I've gone through periods of discouragement because of it. But there's been a change for the better. Therefore I cannot quit. I'm seeing that there is more work to do and more souls to touch. E-North has become a ripe field for a precious spiritual harvest.
