I forgot to mention that there is a write up and pictures of the House of Refuge--our church's ministry to men, in the WWM this month.

If you see it and like it, give us a shout out! :)

Not one comment?! Are there no WWM subscribers here on Jude 2?

Come on guys, that hurts... :oops: :cry:

But, if you add us and our ministry to your prayer list, I would forgive you. :)

April??

The most recent WWM I have received is APRIL, and I see no such article. We don't always get them as fast as you do on the mainland.

I read it. That is an awesome ministry to have. I worked for Warren-Yazoo mental health for a while. Many of those I worked with had drug addictions so this article really touched my heart to see you guys ministering to these men. Thanks for sharing! Good work!

This is a great out reach ministry. Reaching people who would possibly never come to church. So the church goes to them and bids them to come.
Our Pastor just preached this last Sunday on "compelling them to come."

Using, Luke14:16-24

Jesus said to the servant to go and bid people to come to the supper. First he went to those that had "things" land/property. Those that had oxen another a wife..family.
They all wouldn't come. Used what they had as an excuse for not coming.
So the master being angry sent his servants to the lame the blind..those that didn't have "stuff" and they came.

Sometimes those that don't have are more willing to obey then those that do have.

Jennifer, the Pastor the Lord sent us has a vision for this type of ministry. Reaching out.
Thats what its all about. Souls.

Thanks, Brenda, Paully, blessed mom, et al. Sometimes it feels hard to "keep going" but I know it is worth it in the end, and that God is in control. I don't have anything to do with this ministry personally, I just lead worship at church and try to support Sam.

Please continue to keep us in your prayers! :)
