No, that would be putting the horse before the cart, right? What does Isa. 56:7, Mark 11:17, Matt. 21:13, and Luke 19:46 call God's House? A House of Prayer." Read More...

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY - April 25, 2015

God made his presence felt as 25 women (5 new) from West Central and Set Captives Free Ministries worshiped together with song, prayer, and Bible study. Everyone was touched by the music selected. Pastor Elizabeth Smith followed up on last week’s study on "Moving Forward from Abuse and Hurt" taught by Pastor Wayne Smith. She discussed how to seek God’s guidance regarding dysfunctional relationships as women grow in Christ. Sheila Stover spoke on finding the root of emotional pain that prevents us from moving forward in our lives. Pastor Kevin Humphery thanked Elizabeth and Sheila for preaching his sermon, then proceeded with the 2nd part of his sermon on Breaking Generational Curses based on 1 Kings 17:17-24.

Last week, we learned that the widow was asked to put God’s will first. When she began to comply, strength and resources were made available to save herself and her son from the famine. This correlates to belief in God not empowered by the Holy Spirit because we do not put God first and act on His instructions. We, thereby, doom ourselves AND OUR FAMILIES to POVERTY of spirit and deny them PROOF of God’s POWER to CHANGE.

The story continues with Elijah living in the upstairs room of the widow’s home and all 3 people eating well on the flour and oil provided by God. Suddenly, adversity hits hard! The widow’s son becomes sick, and stops breathing. She turns to Elijah, ANGRILY, and asks if God is allowing this to happen because of HER PAST SINS. Elijah simply asks her to surrender her child to him, and thereby, to GOD. After a moment, she hands the child to Elijah who takes him to the UPPER ROOM and petitions God 3 times to save the son of the woman who put God first BEFORE THE PROMISE OF SUPPORT. God honors the faith of the widow.

God gives us all the opportunity to have a relationship with HIM through Jesus’ death and resurrection. Every chain can be BROKEN by our CHOICE to accept God’s offer. We can then address our GENERATIONAL CURSES: addictions, abuse of all kinds, mental illness, and poverty. “HOW?”, we cry out to God.

When Elijah asked for the son’s breathless body, the widow immediately worried about HER PAST SINS! By repeating the instruction to turn the child over to GOD, he teaches us that curses can only be broken when we GET OUT OF THE WAY and let God work. No one wants to see their child committing the same sins they did. However, curses can be BROKEN by one generation CHANGING and turning their lives and their children’s lives over to GOD, the Father of all. Accept change inside yourself. Create an UPPER ROOM where you can focus on the Father/child relationship you have with God. Then you will feel comfortable asking for help when adversity strikes. You can then be there for your children in a new and wonderful way.

The service ended with almost everyone coming forward and praying for God to break the family curses by changing the hearts and minds of HIS CHILDREN. It was an amazing service.

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY - April 18. 2015

We held service with 24 amazing ladies. After a time of praise and worship, I gave part of my testimony about the hurt and abuse I experienced from childhood through adulthood. After I gave my testimony, Wayne ministered to the ladies on "How to Move Forward from Abuse and Hurt." He shared statistics on characteristics that abuse victims are most likely to exhibit. He also talked to them about forgiveness. The forgiveness is more for themselves than for the abuser. Once they can begin to forgive and pray for their abuser, God can begin to move in their life to heal. Wayne's message was so heartfelt and touching that I was so busy listening and forgot to take notes, so this is really all I can share. I apologize. I pray this message helped at least one. So many people have been abused emotionally, verbally and physically and it does leave scars that only God can heal!!!

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY – April 11, 2015

Pastor Kevin Humphery’s previous lesson was on “Holding On” to our faith and stepping forward while TRUSTING God’s plan EVEN if the plan isn’t clear to us. Tonight he continued with “PRESS ON” by reading Psalms 37:23-24. “23. The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; for the Lord upholds him with His hand.” (NKJV)

Pastor Elizabeth Smith went to West Central ITF to worship with 36 amazing ladies. We started out with prayer and then praise and worship each praising God in her own way. I then ministered to the ladies on Micah 7:7-8 with the emphasis being on waiting on God, trusting that He's got you in the palm of His hand and has everything under control. He is an on-time God - never late. Also, keeping our confession of faith and when we stumble (fall), we get right back up. The sin is not in the "stumble" - the sin is in not getting up; staying down in the pigpen of sin. There was a lot of interaction with the ladies and, if you say to them now "when I fall....." they will reply "I shall arise!!!" It was an amazing service and every lady came up front for prayer saying they are tired of falling. There was also one decision for Christ. Praise God for His Word!

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY - Aug. 8, 2015

The evening of Saturday, August 8, 2015 was an amazing time of worship for Set Captives Free Ministries and the women of West Central. Pastor/Founder Elizabeth Smith led the women in worship and song. God’s spirit filled the room as women prayed for each other and shouted God’s praises.

Pastor Kevin Humphery reminded the ladies that God’s blessings transcend our plans, bad days and tears. When we pray, we open the opportunity for God’s Glory to shine. We want God to help us but we do not want to surrender to His will. Life may not be easy, but God’s Will always prevails!

We then read from Mark 9:17-27 – the account of Jesus, a father, and his sick son. We find out that a father has a son with a “Mute Spirit”.

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY – Mar. 14, 2015

God blessed us with His Spirit as Pastor Elizabeth Smith led 45 beautiful souls (5 new) in song at West Central. The room rang with praise and prayers.

We then played "For Every Mountain" which was signed by Sheila Stover. Women responded with weeping and praising!

"Can You Believe? " was the challenge of Pastor Kevin Humphery to us all. Changing our ENTIRE life and our family's lives starts with "The Battlefield of the Mind." Luke 17:5-6 teaches that prayerful faith requires that we honor and thank God even when we don't see the results we want. Jail is often the answered prayer of someone for a loved one imprisoned by demons of mental illness, drugs, and/or bad decisions. The cleared mind is open to healing. Getting grounded in the Bible keeps guilt and shame from paralyzing us. Moving forward in healing is possible by active belief.

In Mark 9:17-27, a man pleads for Jesus to heal his son from a "mute" spirit that causes havoc in his life. Just like the disciples couldn't heal the son, churches that don't address our needs can't help us grow and, eventually, mentor others. Like the mute son, we don't call out to God for victory over our problems, thereby allowing that evil spirit to stay in charge. The father BELIEVED and ACTED by carrying his son to Jesus.

When newly healed, we need to seek God's mentors to guide us. Repelling the wrong people by calling 911 brings help just like prayer brings grace! (James 2:17-20) Problems and pain from childhood, left untreated, cause us to escape through substance abuse and destructive behaviors. Letting Jesus cast out the old demons and leaving them in our past is the medicine our souls need to heal so we can share our experiences. God's glory shining through us begins the healing of our families as well. Many people gave up on us as "good as dead" or "worthless", but when Jesus raises us in His Spirit to stand for Him day by day, His Purpose and Glory are a living testimony that "WE CAN BELIEVE". Amen and Amen!

We closed in prayer with the ladies to help their unbelief. It was a great service!

I went to West Central by myself … well, that isn’t true! It was me and the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost … and ministered to 34 precious ladies!!! The video praise and worship was powerful and the Holy Spirit moved in an amazing way through the girls. Many came up front during the worship in "waves" during different songs and knelt before God weeping. After the praise and worship, I ministered “When I Fall, I Shall Arise” taking the text from Micah 7:7-8. Read More...

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY - August 30, 2014

Wayne and Julia went to West Central and ministered to 24 ladies. It was a “Fun and Fact” night. Wayne showed them some interesting amazing facts from the Bible that really enjoyed. They also had a Question and Answer time along with some Bible Study on some of the things taught in the past that the ladies may not have understood. When the service was over, three ladies rededicated their lives to the Lord.


WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY - August 23, 2014

Kevin Humphery and I went to West Central to hold the service with 39 ladies. The video praise and worship was powerful and the Holy Spirit moved in an amazing way through the girls. Many came up front during the worship and knelt before God weeping. I ministered briefly and then turned it over to Kevin who brought a message on Faith from Hebrews 11. He started out by telling them the first step to coming to Jesus is to admit your responsibility for your choices. The second step is to make different choices. He then told the ladies that you give your life to Him and then it is a process. Things won’t be perfect … the only difference is you have Him to help you through it! Read More...

What is a relationship with God? What does it mean to be "born again"? Wayne told the ladies that his goal is for them to have no excuse when they stand before God.

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY - July 12, 2014

Kevin and Pat Nicely went with me to West Central. We had 44 ladies in the room excited and ready for service. Praise and Worship was powerful as usual. I love the way the Holy Spirit moves during our worship services at WCITF. Around 14 ladies came up front in "waves" during praise and worship and knelt down before the King of kings praying and weeping. It was amazing!

Kevin ministered on "Help Is on the Way" taking text from Mark 5:1-6 about the man who lived in the tombs (dead place/graveyard).

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY - June 21, 2014

Wayne, Julia and Kevin went to West Central to hold the service. I was sick and unable to go but have been told that it was an awesome service with 36 ladies in attendance. After video praise and worship, Kevin played a song "For Every Mountain." He then brought the message on Luke 15:11-24 (parable of lost son/daughter). The title of his message was "I Have Got to Go Home!"

Kevin held up an envelope. If this envelope had $100 in it and I stomped on it, what is it worth now? $100! You are still worth what you were when you were born. The devil will try to break you down; tell you that you are worthless. The devil came to kill, steal and destroy and he will destroy you if he can. The prodigal realized that he had to do something. He had to arise and go back to his father's home. He arose and took that first step. His father was waiting for him. God has been there all along waiting on YOU! You just have to take that first step.

Kevin prayed for all of the ladies who are scared to go home. Most of the ladies said they were scared.

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY - June 14, 2014

Then Kevin ministered on "He Got Me Through It". Before he brought the message, he played a song "For Every Mountain." Women were weeping and raising their hands. Kevin took his text from Matt. 4:23-24 and Matt. 4:1-4. Read More...

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY - May 31, 2014

Wayne, Julia and I went to WCITF and ministered to 38 ladies. We started out with Video Praise and Worship and the Holy Spirit filled the room. At one point there were about 15 ladies up front kneeling on the floor weeping, crying and praising God! It was so awesome. The Lord gave me something to tell one of the ladies and she just broke. Then I prayed with her. It was hard to go on, but I finally turned it over to Wayne to bring the Word on "Treasures of a Wasted Life." He took his text from Philippians 3:1-14.

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY - May 24, 2014

Julia and I went to WCITF to minister to the ladies. We had 30 ladies in the service who worshiped God with the video praise and worship. After the praise and worship, I delivered the word on "The Father's Embrace." One thing all women have in common is that they need to be loved. Many women (especially incarcerated) did not have a good relationship with their earthly father and have difficulty seeing our Heavenly Father as a Father of Love.... they think He is "out to get them" every time they do something wrong. I based the message on the prodigal son but actually more on the loving father who represents our Heavenly Father. I showed them some things in the message that they never knew before that I learned from my Jewish friends about the culture of that day that really makes it more understandable how much God loves us! At the altar call, 27 women came up for prayer wanting to understand and know better the love of our Father and to have an intimate relationship with Him.

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY - May 17, 2014

Kevin Humphery and I were a few minutes late getting to WCITF because we went straight there from the Day of Breakthrough in Twin City, GA.

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY - May 10, 2014

Kevin Humphery and Rev. James H. Houchens (Traveling Mercies RV Ministry) went with me to WCITF. One of the ladies opened up in prayer and then we went into video worship. The anointing was so heavy in the room while they praised and worshiped God. Rev. Houchens gave his testimony and ministered to the ladies. The ladies were very "moved" by it especially one in particular who came up after the service and asked for prayer.

Pastor Kevin delivered his message "Woman, You are Loosed" using text from Luke 13:10-16 and Eph. 6:10-12

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY - May 3, 2014

It was a very exciting night because I had six of my team of seven that go to West Central. The ladies got excited when they saw all of us come in. We started out with prayer and video worship. It never ceases to amaze me how the ladies really get into worshipping their Lord!

Kevin brought the message on "It's Your Time Tonight.... But It's Up to You!" He took his text from Mark 10:46-52, Romans 10:17 and John 1:1, 14. He started out "Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? It's YOUR night!"

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY - April 19, 2014

Wayne, Julia and I went to WCITF for our weekly Saturday night service where we were greeted by 46 smiling faces. One of the ladies opened up in prayer and we went into Praise and Worship. The ladies poured their praises out before God singing, raising hands, weeping, and even kneeling before the King of kings! Then I danced to "My Redeemer Lives" by Nicole Mullins while they sang along.

Wayne brought an amazing message "To the Last Drop" using text from Acts 17:24-25; Isaiah 6:1-5 and Luke 9:51.
Read More...

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY - April 12, 2014

We had an amazing service tonight. Every week lately it seems like we have ladies going home, but new ones keep coming in. It was a beautiful day, but the ladies decided to come to church rather than yard call. There were 29 in attendance and the Holy Spirit showed up. One of the ladies opened in prayer and then we went into video praise and worship. I love to do praise and worship with these amazing ladies at WCITF .... they know how to worship!

Kevin ministered on "Word of Your Testimony" using text from Revelations 12:10-11 and Hebrews 11:1-3, 6
Read More...

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY - April 5,2014

One of the ladies opened up in prayer and then we went into video praise and worship. The Spirit of the Lord was moving!! After praise and worship, I danced to "Alabaster Box" and the Holy Spirit continued to move as women were weeping before the Lord. One of the ladies then asked if I could play "Break Every Chain" so I did. Read More...

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY - March 29, 2014

Revival is breaking out! What an awesome time we had tonight! One of the residents opened up in prayer and then we went into praise and worship. During the last song ("Sanctuary") one of the residents came up and knelt down weeping before then Lord ... and then another .... and another! There ended up being 6 ladies kneeling and weeping. What an awesome sight! I wanted to get down there with them. Read More...

MACON TRANSITIONL CENTER - March 16, 2014

Wayne, Julia and I went to Macon TC for the Sunday morning service. One of the residents opened in prayer and we then went into video worship. Wayne brought the message on "On the Rock or On the Sand." These notes are much longer than usual and yet I left out so much of the "meat." If you want to know more, please contact Wayne. Read More...

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY - March 22, 2014

Susan Slaven, Pat Nicely and Kevin Humphery went with me to West Central and we had an amazing service. It started the minute we walked in with ladies rushing up to give us testimonies of what God was doing in their lives!

One of the residents opened up in prayer and we had video praise and worship. Ladies were praising, shouting, crying, and one even came up front and fell on her knees before the Lord.
Read More...

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY - March 8, 2014

One of the residents opened in prayer and then we had video praise and worship. The Holy Spirit was moving from the very first song! We have been having REVIVAL at West Central. Then Kevin ministered on "Christ in You ... the Hope of Glory." (Col. 1:15-29)

THOUGHTS:
1. The closest some people will ever get to Jesus is through YOU.

2. Anything that takes your mind from Jesus is an enemy of God. Nothing and nobody should come before HIM!

3. Romans 12;1 - this is not a suggestion ... this is expected (my note)

4. Col. 1:22 - we are to be holy and blameless. It is a process.

5. Eph, 3:20-24 - All truth is in Jesus. You have to let all of the old nonsense go and be renewed in your mind (change the way you think).

There was one new soul for the kingdom of God - Praise God! All of the ladies raised their hands for prayer for the power of the Holy Spirit to work in them. It was an amazing service!!! Thank you, Lord!

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY - March 15, 2014

Wayne and Julia went with me to West Central. One of the residents opened up in prayer and then we went into video worship. Wayne delivered the message on "Who Do You Depend On?" using test from Exodus 33:1-3, 15-18. He opened up with the questions "Will we be dependent upon ourselves or desperate for His Spirit?" In the test, God told Moses that He would give His blessings but would not go with them. How would we respond to this? Unfortunately, most people want the blessings but don't want to do the work to have a relationship.

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATEMENT CENTER - March 3, 2014

One of the residents that is going home this week opened up in prayer. Then we did praise and worship. The Holy Spirit filled that room! Women were dancing, crying, shouting and even kneeling before the Lord! Kevin brought the message on "Keep Moving Forward" using his text from Mark 7:24-30. The woman was not someone Jesus would normally talk to because she was not Jewish, but her persistence and faith got His attention. God wants to give you a breakthrough, but you don't get yourself out of the way long enough. This woman didn't care about anything but getting Jesus' attention. Read More...

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY - Feb. 22, 2014

We opened up in prayer by one of the residents. There were 27 ladies in the service tonight and they were already anticipating when they came into the room. We had praise and worship and they were praising and already weeping before the Lord. The Spirit of the Lord was so heavy in the room that I started preaching .... I just couldn't help myself. When I turned it over to Kevin, he said I already preached part of his message. Isn't that the way God works? Read More...

PRAISE GOD - TWO TEAMS OUT TONIGHT!

For the first time since God gave us Set Captives Free Ministries, we had two teams out tonight at two different facilities. Thank you, Lord!

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY - Feb. 15, 2014

Praise God for the amazing service tonight! It felt like electricity in the air! The anointing was so heavy tonight that I could have easily preached. I told Kevin it is building up and he may have to step aside one of these Saturday nights. There were 7 new ladies but some of our regulars were not there, so there were 25 in the service.
Read More...

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY - Feb. 8, 2014

We opened up with prayer and praise and worship. The ladies got into the service from the very onset. We had 23 in the service. Kevin ministered on "Got to Go Home" (Part 2 of the Road to Your Destiny series he started last week). He took his text from Luke 15;11-20, 24 and, as always, brought it down to where they live. Bottom line - forgive yourself.

Kevin spent a lot of time talking to them about who they join themselves to. Secondly, always be honest. If you're not willing to admit who you are, how can God help you? He also used the Scripture Romans 12:1-2. He finished up with "Drop the zero and get you a hero."

We got into a circle and prayer and we also ministered to several of the ladies. It was an awesome service. They are so happy that we are coming in every Saturday. Thank you, Lord!

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY - Feb. 1, 2014

This was our first Saturday night weekly service and it was amazing! There were 23 ladies in the service. We opened up in prayer and then sang about 20 minutes of video praise and worship. The Spirit was already moving when I turned it over to Kevin Humphery to bring the message.

He started a 3 part series called "The Road to Your Destiny" Part 1 was entitled "Rise, He's Calling You" and the text was Mark 10:45-52. He told the ladies, "This isn't your destiny. Your path is going to change many times. If you get off course, get back up and go on towards your destiny." Then he had them repeat to each other from the 49th verse "Rise, He's calling you."

CHANGES IN MINISTRY SCHEDULE

Starting in February, we have 3 services at Macon TC:
First Sunday and Third Sunday at 9:30 AM and fourth Saturday at 7 PM.

We will no longer be going to West Central ITF on the first two Mondays; HOWEVER, we will be going there EVERY Saturday evening for a 6:30 PM service.

I need team members to step up to help with these services. I would like to do a rotation schedule so everyone gets a chance and nobody gets burned out! God is opening more services for us and I am excited!

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY - January 13, 2014

Kevin went with me down to West Central to minister to the ladies. We had 9 ladies in the service. This will be our last Monday to go. In February we will start going every Saturday night and we are so excited about it. I'm trying to put teams together to rotate so as not to burn anyone out.

We started with prayer and some video praise and worship. Then Kevin brought the message "Help Is On The Way." Scriptures were Mark 5:1-19; Mark 4:35-37 and Romans 12:1-2. Some of the points he made were Satan wants to get you to get your eyes to focus on the storm and not on Jesus. He knows you will be defeated if you don't keep your eyes on Jesus. If you want to change, it takes renewing of your mind. How bad do you want it?

We had one of the residents lay hands on each of the other ladies as we prayed for them at the end of the service. The Spirit was so sweet - we could really feel His Presence.

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY - Dec. 9, 2013

Kevin was unable to go due to an emergency with his son. I thought I was going to have to cancel, but Wayne and Julia said they would go with me. We got to the facility a little before 6:30. A lot of changes are being made because there is new leadership. We were told that we probably could not take in our iPads which is where we keep our notes and our Bibles. One of the officers went back to talk to the new Superintendent about it and she came out asking us to go back into her office. We were back there for 1-1/2 hours but it was a very productive meeting. I am very encouraged about our ministry at West Central. By that time it was too late to minister to the women, so I will have to explain to them next month when we go. Please keep us in your prayers .... there could be some new opportunities for us at West Central. Praise God!

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY - Dec. 2, 2013

I would like to thank John and Patricia Davis of Freedom's Way Ministry for going into West Central in our absence. I was in a bad car accident about 1:00 in the afternoon and was unable to go and Kevin was sick in bed. The report I received is as follows: FWM had an amazing time with the 5 ladies who were present in the service. John Davis sang several songs with them about the blood of Jesus and then ministered on healing. The ladies asked questions and they looked up Scriptures together including Isaiah 53:4,5; Matthew 8, and I Peter 2:24. They formed a circle at the end and prayed. Praise God for this great ministry and for them "stepping up to the plate" when Kevin and I were unable to be there. God bless you richly!

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY - Nov. 11, 2013

I would like to thank John and Patricia Davis of Freedom's Way Ministry for going into West Central in our absence for this service. The report I received is as follows:

FWM had an amazing time with the 22 ladies who attended the service. John Davis sang several songs and choruses and then delivered the message entitled "God Inside Minded" using Scriptures from I John 4:4, 2 Cor. 5:17, Psalms 91, Psalms 119, and Deut. 30:19. There was special prayer with the ladies at the end of the service.

Praise God for this great ministry and for them "stepping up to the plate" when Kevin and I were unable to be there. God bless you richly!

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY - Nov. 4, 2013

Kevin went with me to West Central. There was a lot of confusion with us getting in so the service started late. We had nine ladies in the service. Because it started late we went right into the message after we prayed with several ladies who are going through a lot right now.

Kevin ministered from Mark 9:17-24 on the Power of Faith. He didn't get to finish his message and said he'd continue next week. We got in a circle and prayed for the ladies again.

Warden Sanders retired and there is a new Superintendent in charge so a lot of changes going on. The girls and the staff really need our prayers.

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY - OCT. 14, 2013

There were 16 ladies and we started out with several choruses. The ladies really got into the praise. Kevin continued with part two of "Suddenly is How God Works" using scriptures from Mark 22:22-24, Matt. 18:19-20, I Cor. 10:12-13, and Acts 16:16-32. Once again we had one salvation. We then got into a circle and had special prayer.

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY - OCT. 7, 2013

Once again God showed up and showed out! We had 19 ladies in the service. One of the ladies opened up with the Lord's Prayer. Then we sang "Enemy's Camp" and "I Give Myself Away." The ladies had their hands in the air and crying. Kevin preached on "Suddenly is How God Moves" and used Acts 2:1-4 for the text. He started out with "anytime you have faith, you have to also have patience. You pray, you cry, you wait, you pray, you cry, you wait, you pray, you cry, you wait and THEN .... one day .... SUDDENLY....

There was one salvation and all of the other ladies came up front for prayer to get closer to the Lord and have faith to wait.

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT CENTER - Sept. 9, 2013

Kevin and I went to West Central where we had 9 ladies in the service. The Holy Spirit filled the room while we sang "I Give Myself Away" and women were crying. I ministered through the Holy Spirit and then turned it over to Kevin.

He preached about Jonah bringing it down to where we live. The Sermon was entitled .. Is it Right for You to be Angry? Scripture: Jonah 3:1-2; 3:9-10; 4:1-5

My notes would take up entirely too much room, but it was a timely message and well received. All of the ladies came up for prayer.

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT CENTER - Sept. 2, 2013

We met in the library tonight and had 29 ladies in the service. We did not have equipment again since it is still not working properly, so we started out with "Enemy's Camp" and then sang "How He Loves." The Holy Spirit fell during the worship service again and started speaking through me again. I don't even remember what all was said but ladies started to cry and one lady handed me a note that she had written. The words the Lord gave me was directly to her (and others I am sure by the way they responded). Praise God for the anointing. I could have easily preached again this week, but once again turned it over to Kevin.

Kevin preached on Jeremiah 18:1-6 and his message was simply called "So." Other scriptures were Isaiah 6:4-8; 2 Cor. 5:17; Psalms 107:1-3. God uses things we can relate to in order to help us understand things we would not otherwise understand. He brought the message down to where they live. There were 5 salvations/rededications. Then we had special prayer. The officer came in because we were still praying and we had to stop. What an awesome night!!!

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT CENTER - Aug. 12, 2013

There were 12 ladies in the service and the anointing fell during praise and worship. I got so excited that it was all I could do to keep from preaching ... the Holy Spirit was speaking through me and the women were shouting. I had to turn it over to Kevin or he wouldn't have had the opportunity to do what he does best.

Kevin's message was on Good Ground and he brought it down to where they live. They were laughing and crying while the Spirit was moving. Scriptures used were Matt. 15:21-28; Matt. 13:3-9, 17-23; Romans 10:17; John 1:1, 14. The woman Kevin preached about was not Jewish but she heard about Jesus and believed He could meet her needs. If you need a miracle, it is in Jesus; if you need a blessing, it is in Jesus; if you need a healing it is in Jesus.

There was one salvation and all of the other ladies came up front for prayer! PRAISE GOD!

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT CENTER - Aug. 5, 2013

What an awesome service we had. We were in the "big room" again and we had 10 ladies (3 new). Several of our ladies have gone home! We had trouble with the equipment (again) but Kevin had me play "That's My King" by the late Dr. S. M. Lockeridge in a sermon in Detroit in 1976. The ladies loved in. Then Kevin ministered on "Resurrecting a Life." Scriptures used were Col 2:13-15 and Eph 2:14-16. Jesus is the life and the resurrection. We had special prayer before we dismissed.

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT CENTER - July 8, 2013

We started out with prayer and video worship. There were 17 ladies in the service! Kevin ministered on "Just In Time." We have to understand what God's "just in time"

Scriptures: John 11:6-39*; 11:40-44
Hebrews 11:1; Daniel 3:17-18

Some of the points made:

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT CENTER - July 1, 2013

We had seven ladies in the service. We sang a couple of songs and then I turned it over to Kevin who ministered on "I Am Not Who They Called Me." The main text was from Acts 1:7-8, but other Scriptures used were Acts 9:13,21; Hebrews 10:15-16; Hebrews 10:17-20; Isa 53:3-5; I Thess. 2:4-5; and Acts 9:1-21.

Some of the main thoughts were

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT CENTER - June 10, 2013

One of the residents opened in prayer. After video praise and worship, Kevin brought the word from John 3:1-8 entitled "The New Birth (Holy Spirit)".

Nicodemus asked what he had to do to inherit the kingdom. First he had to be born of water (from woman) and then born of the spirit (God). We've all been born by woman, but that still leaves being born of the spirit. Good people don't go to heaven .... saved people go to heaven.

He then read 1 John 5:4-7 and Acts 1:4-5, 8. With the Holy Spirit comes POWER. Acts 2:38-39 - repent means to go the other way. Other scriptures were Acts 10:44 and Acts 19:1-6.

God will give you everything you need, but you have to be willing to do it.

We prayed with all 11 ladies after the message for the Holy Spirit and power. Many of the women were weeping and broken. Two of the women were cold and indifferent. Please pray for these ladies even though you don't know names.

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT CENTER - June 3, 2013

After video praise and worship, Kevin ministered to the ladies from Daniel 3:13-18 on "Image Means Everything." He used the example of Shadrach, Meschach and Abednego. They went through a serious test. Just because everyone else does it, should you? They had their beliefs and values and put God first. They weren't going to bow because it was against God. It didn't matter what everyone else was doing. They believed that God would save them, but even if He didn't ..... they were not going to compromise.

Other Scriptures he used were Romans 10:5-7, Romans 8:29-31, and Romans 12:1-2. What kind of image do you want to portray? What kind of images do you want around you?

We closed the service by praying with the 8 ladies who were there. Several needed special prayer.

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT CENTER - May 13, 2013

Kevin and I went to West Central to minister to the ladies. After several attempts to have video worship with equipment that wouldn't cooperate, we went on with the service. There were 13 ladies in attendance.

Kevin ministered on Open My Eyes. Scriptures he used were Mark 10:46-52; Romans 13:11-12; and 2 Cor. 15:17. He used the account of Blind Bartemaus and brought it down to where the ladies live.

Blind Bartemaus saw his opportunity and was not going to let Jesus get away. He could not see but people could see him. We know that people are looking at us, but we don't see what they are seeing.

Blind Bartemaus would not give up. The "good church folks" around him tried to make him be quiet instead of encouraging him. Instead of listening, he got louder and louder and louder. He had a problem and he needed Jesus. He knew in his heart that Jesus could change him. He had faith. First of all, you have to believe that He can change you!

There were multitudes around Him and with all the talking and noise going on, He heard ONE! Jesus heard him and stopped ... He stood still and commanded him to be called. Now the same folks who tried to shut him up were now encouraging him ... be of good cheer; rise! He's calling ou.

No matter how you feel, you have to get up and be off good cheer. Cast off those beggar garments. He had to cast off his garments; Jesus didn't take them off for him. The Lord heals us but we have to do our part. He will help us but we have to do our part. We need to give up the things that bind us; we need to walk away from the things that tempt us; we need to put action to our prayers. Bartemaus didn't care what anybody thought - this was between him and Jesus. His faith made him whole. We have to put our own faith to our prayers.

There was one salvation and most of the ladies needed special prayer so Kevin and I both ministered to them. The presence of the Lord was definitely in the service! Praise God!

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT CENTER - May 6, 2013

Kevin and Jim Houchens went with me to West Central to minister to the ladies. After several attempts to have video worship with equipment that wouldn't cooperate, we went on with the service. There were 14 ladies in attendance. Jim is a minister friend of mine from Fort Lauderdale, Florida who comes through here twice a year on his ministry travels. Jim has a ministry called Traveling Mercies and travels throughout the United States and Canada with his travel trailer to reach the lost. He has a heart for prison ministry and loves to go in with me when he comes through Atlanta. Jim opened up the service by giving his testimony to the ladies and witnessing to them about the Lord. This was followed by Kevin bringing the Word entitled "Help is on the Way." His text was Mark 4:35-41; 5:1-7 which involved the account of the disciples crossing to the other side with Jesus asleep in the boat. A mighty storm came up and the disciples were afraid. The second part of the Scripture was concerning the demoniac of Gadarene. Kevin used both of these accounts from the Scriptures and brought them down to where the ladies "live." We closed with special prayer and all three of us ministered to the ladies individually. It was an awesome night and the Lord moved in the service.

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT CENTER - Apr. 8, 2013

Kevin and I went to West Central tonight to minister to the ladies. We had video worship and the ladies really enjoyed it. There were 14 ladies in attendance. Kevin ministered on FWO = For Women Only. Scriptures he used were 2 Cor. 5:17, I Peer 3:1-5, and Prov. 31:10-31. If you want to be a wife, you need to work on the inside and become the woman God wants you to be. God’s man will find you.

One woman came up for salvation and the rest came up for prayer to be set free and be the Woman of God they are meant to be. The presence of the Lord was definitely in the service! Praise God!

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT CENTER - Apr. 1, 2013

Gary Wright went with me to West Central. It was his first time to go with me to a prison service. GED was cancelled tonight so they gave us the big class room. I was really hopeful for a good turnout since class was cancelled, but unfortunately it was a beautiful evening and quite warm, so most of the inmates chose to go outside for yard call. We ended up with four in attendance. Gary played his guitar and sang some choruses with the ladies. He then gave his testimony and ministered from his heart. The ladies came up for prayer for needs they had and we ministered to them.

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT CENTER - Mar. 11, 2013

Kevin and I went to West Central for the second Monday service. It rained really hard on us all the way down and took us longer to get down there, but it was so worth it. We had 23 ladies in the service. Kevin ministered on “Holy Ground” using Matthew 15:21-28. He also read Mark 11:22-23. The theme of his message was first of all we need to have faith in God. Yes, we have to have faith, but it doesn’t stop there … you have to also believe.

No one came up for salvation, but they all asked for prayer for their families for salvation and to have the curse removed from their children so they don’t follow in their footsteps. They also prayed for complete freedom in their own life. It was an amazing service and the presence of the Lord was so heavy in that prison.

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT CENTER - Mar. 4, 2013

Kevin and I went to West Central to hold the first Monday service. After opening up with prayer and some worship songs, Diana (one of the inmates) sang for us. Kevin then ministered on “Hope of Glory” from I Col. 1:16-28. We had 11 ladies in the service and all 11 answered the altar call. We then had special prayer for healing and other needs. It was a GLORIOUS night! Praise God!

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT CENTER - Feb. 11, 2013

John Davis who has another ministry that goes into West Central took the service for me tonight. None of my team could go and it was very stormy outside so I did not want to drive the two hours down there by myself. However, I also did not want to cancel. John was very kind to tell me that he would take the service for me. He reported back that it went very well and he was well received. I know that it was an anointed service and I appreciate John filling in for us.

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT CENTER - Feb. 4, 2013

Elizabeth Haney went with me to West Central to minister to the ladies. We started out with praise and worship and then Diana (one of the inmates) sang two songs for us. I did a praise dance to “Holy Ground” before ministering. The message was “When I Fall, I Shall Arise.” There were 11 ladies in attendance and every one of them came up front for prayer: one salvation and ten for a deeper walk with the Lord. Elizabeth Haney shared a message from her heart just before we prayed to end the service. We could really feel the presence of the Lord and it was an amazing night! Praise God!

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT CENTER - Jan. 14, 2013

Kevin and I went down to West Central to hold the service. There were 9 in attendance. After the opening prayer and a few horses, plus a special by one of the ladies, Pastor Kevin continued his sermon on “Change Your Mind.” His message included the following highlights:
Romans 12:1-2 - we have to be changed by the renewing of our mind
Romans 8:28-31 - Things work together for the good of those who are CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE.
If God is for you, who can be against you?
Acts 17:11-12 - when you are ready for your life to change, get into the Scripture
2 Corinthians 8:12-15 - give to others according to how God has given to you.  What flows out of you from God will touch others.
We ended the service by praying with the ladies.

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT CENTER - Jan. 7, 2013

I turned the entire service over to Ms. Emily after we opened with prayer and sang “Enemy’s Camp.” GED was going on at the same time as well as the Recovery class, so we only had 4 in attendance.

Emily played a song "The Potter's House.”   Her message was "A Broken Vessel." She used multiple Scriptures including Genesis 2:7 and Genesis 1:26. She emphasized that we are a vessel to God -a place for Him to dwell. Additional Scriptures included Isaiah 64:8 and Psm 51:5. We were born into sin.  In order to change, we have to get on the Potter's wheel.  We need to bring our broken pieces to Him and He will make us over again. We prayed with all of the ladies at the end of the service. They told Emily that they really needed to hear what she had to say. Praise God!

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT CENTER (RSAT) - Dec. 10, 2012

Emily Williams, Elizabeth Haney and Kevin Humphery went with me to West Central. We had 16 ladies in the service. We started out with prayer and then sang some Christian Raggae which was a lot of fun ... enjoyed by all. Emily then led them in praise and worship.

Pastor Kevin then ministered the first part of "Changing Your Mind" using scriptures from PhillipIans 2:1-10, 2 Corinthians 10:3-6, and Ephesians 6:10-18. One lady gave her life to the Lord and we prayed with eight for a closer walk and special needs. God is so good!

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT CENTER (RSAT) - Dec. 3, 2012

Elizabeth Haney went with me to West Central to minister to the ladies. There is another ministry now coming in the same time we do but we are not discouraged. If we help one inmate, it is worth the effort. We had six ladies in the service. I ministered to them about the Father's Love and all six wanted prayer to have a closer walk with the Lord ... to not just be saved but to have a relationship. Then Lil' E (Elizabeth Haney) shared some things on her heart about her walk and growth with the Lord. The ladies really related and accepted everything said by both of us. We then held hands in a circle and prayed. I prayed special prayers for two of the ladies. The Holy Spirit was just so sweet in that place! Thank you, Lord!

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT CENTER - October 1, 2012

Kevin and Susan went with me down to West Central. We were late getting there because of a storm we went through, an accident that held up traffic for about an hour, etc. Even though we got there late, we started out with just 2 in the service because classes were still going on. They started asking questions immediately and we didn't even have music ... it was a Q&A time. When the other ladies came in, Kevin continued his message from last time from Colossians 1:16-27 on "Christ in You, the Hope of Glory." We closed by praying with the ladies.

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT CENTER - September 10, 2012

Susan and Kevin went to West Central to minister. Emily and I were unable to go. There were 16 in attendance. Several of the inmates from West Central sang specials and Kevin ministered from Colossians 1:16-27 on "Christ in You, the Hope of Glory." Other scriptures he used were John 1:1-14, Romans 12:1-2, Ephesians 4:20, and 2 Corinthians 5:17-18. The service was ended with all of the women coming up front, getting in a circle and praying together. The women interacted and responded in an amazing way and it was a great service.

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATEMENT CENTER - September 3, 2012

Susan and Emily joined me tonight to go to West Central to minister. I was sick all the way down and had decided to let Susan and Emily handle the service tonight and I would just sit quietly in the background. When we got into the Library, there was a sign on the bulletin board that said “Set Captives Free Ministries every 1st and 2nd Mondays - Go Into the Enemy’s Camp Fellowship.” When Emily showed that to me, I got “fired up” and decided that we would sing “Enemy’s Camp” … something we used to do just about every service but had not done for a while. Seventeen ladies came into the room and we could feel the Spirit in the room from the beginning. We opened with introductions and prayer and then went into the “Enemy’s Camp” … the ladies really responded to it and we did “spiritual warfare” against the enemy. Then Emily led them in praise and worship. I felt led to do interpretive praise dance to “Holy Ground” and then one of the ladies sang a couple of specials. Susan delivered her message on “Four Things Hell Has that the Church Needs” using Luke 16 - the parable of the rich man and Lazarus as her Scripture. It was an anointed message and when the altar call was given, 13 of the ladies came up to rededicate their lives to the Lord. After they repeated the prayer, we played “Shake Heaven” on a CD and then Emily lead them in “Nobody Can Do Me Like Jesus.” We then got into a circle and several of the ladies as well as my team closed in prayer. It was an amazing night! Once again, God showed up and showed out!!! Praise God!

A SUCCESS STORY - August 19, 2012

One of my ladies who recently got out of the prison system came to church this morning and brought her two beautiful girls!!! What a blessing it was! I could give her a big ol' hug and not get in trouble! She was so faithful to the church service. She would be there even if nobody else was which did happen a couple of times in the beginning!!! She is so very special to me and I love her and her girls. I will post a picture as soon as I can.

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY - August 13, 2012

The RSAT program has started so we no longer get the large class room to hold our services. We are now holding our services in the library, which really works out quite well since the population is down right now. We had 7 inmates in the service and then when the RSAT meeting was over at 7:30, 2 probationers came in to join us. We did video praise and worship and they really enjoyed the songs. Then Emily lead them in some songs with her tambourine. Pastor Kevin brought a message entitled "How to Encourage Yourself" using I Samuel 30:1-10. Everyone needs encouragement but there are times when you need to encourage yourself; that is why Pastor Kevin brought this message from the Bible about David to where the ladies "live." Several ladies came up for prayer at the end of the service. The transition is going to be a little difficult, but our God is in control. Amen!

WEST CENTRAL INTEGRATED TREATMENT FACILITY - August 6, 2012

WOW! I don't know what other words to use! Pastor Lance Johnson was supposed to go preach tonight and, due to circumstances beyond his control, he was not able to go but I didn't find out until today. I have to admit that I "panicked" because I didn't have a message prepared! God let me know that He had it in control but I still "fretted" a little while. [embarrassed] He dropped into my spirit what to do so that is what I shared with Emily and Susan.

We got into the facility and only had 9 ladies in the service. (The population is currently 44 inmates and they are slowing bringing in the probationers which will be 138 when all have arrived). We opened up with one of the inmates praying and then went into video praise and worship followed by Emily leading them in a few songs with her tambourine. I had asked Emily to share her testimony which she did. Then Susan brought a short message on "Where is the Fruit." The ladies received both extremely well and were intently listening.

The Lord has impressed upon me earlier today to dance to "Alabaster Box." I said, "Lord, are you sure? I haven't done a praise dance to that song in about 4 years and I don't have time to practice." He didn't take that feeling away from me, so I did a praise dance as I felt lead. The ladies were crying and some even jumped to their feet when it was over. I was crying too! God ministered to ALL of us! Thank you, Lord! Then I gave part of my testimony and ministered to the ladies about their desire to be loved and cherished and what a treasure they are to God.

When I gave the altar call, every lady came up for prayer to make Jesus not just their Savior, but Lord of their life. We then had time to minister to three ladies (each one of us had one) for special needs in their life! What an amazing night!!! God showed up and showed out so magnificently!!! Praise God!!!

WEST CENTRAL RSAT - June 11, 2012

What a magnificent service! God showed up and showed out!!! Pastor Kevin and Susan joined me at West Central. We had 40 inmates in the service and over 2/3 of them were new. We started out by having one of the inmates open in prayer and then went into video praise and worship. This was followed by specials by two of the inmates, and three of the inmates ministered in dance. It was awesome! I asked them to close their eyes and get into a worshipful mood while I played two songs from a CD that was given to me at our Women’s Conference. The first song was “Through the Fire” by Jason Crabb and it was really touching them. The second song was also by Jason Crabb called “Sometimes I Cry.” This song “broke” them and got them totally prepared for Pastor Kevin’s message “Help is on the Way.” The Scriptures he used was Mark 5:1-6; 18-19. He brought it right down to where they live and the Holy Spirit moved mightily in the service. There were some women in the service who tried to be very hard, but the Holy Spirit softened them. Eleven women came up for salvation. Then the rest of the women came up for prayer of commitment and rededication. While Pastor Kevin and Susan were praying for those who needed special prayer, I allowed a few others to share in song and then one of the inmates had asked if they could close in prayer! What an amazing service!!!

WEST CENTRAL RSAT - June 4, 2012

The Georgia DOC has converted West Central to a 194-bed, nine-month female integrated treatment RSAT facility. Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) is a program for probationers and inmates. Offenders selected for this program are offenders nearing release, sentenced probationers, parole revocators and other court or GDC referred offenders who need intensive substance abuse treatment.

According to a study conducted by the U.S. Department of Justice in 2006, 74% of state prisoners with mental disorders suffer from substance abuse nationwide. “The Department will be the first Corrections System in the nation to implement an integrated treatment facility for female offenders,” said Commissioner Owens. “RSAT Centers will provide our offenders with the tools necessary to make better choices,” said Commissioner Owens.

Emily Williams and Angie Brady went with me to West Central RSAT. Because of the changes being implemented right now, we only had 11 women in the service and half of them were new. We opened the service in prayer and then did video praise and worship, followed by Emily leading them in a few songs. One of the ladies sang a solo. This was Angie’s first time and she loved it. She ministered from Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” She also used illustration of different women from the Bible who made mistakes or had things happen to them to show the women that each one of them have a PURPOSE!!! We had an amazing time in the Lord. All of the ladies came up for prayer except for one.

WEST CENTRAL PRC - May 14, 2012

What a magnificent service! God showed up and showed out!!! Sadly we found out that this is the last service we'll have with many of these ladies at WCPRC. The facility is changing to a RSAT facility and many of the current inmates are being shipped out to other facilities. Since it was the last service we will have with many of them, we had to start out with our traditional song "Enemy's Camp." What a good time we had with it. Then we started the video praise and worship with +”Hallelujah Anyhow.” The Spirit of the Lord and the joy in the room was so heavy that I felt lead to stop the video after the first song and Emily lead the ladies in a couple of songs. Then we had a special by one of the inmates followed by one last worship song by Emily. One of the inmates also said some encouraging words to all of those getting transferred out of West Central this week. Pastor Kevin then delivered a message based on Blind Bartemaeous using the illustration of how he called out to Jesus and everyone around him was telling him to be quiet but he refused. He wanted his miracle. He then brought it down to where the ladies live. It had such an amazing impact that every single woman in the room came up for prayer. It was amazing! God is AMAZING! Praise God for changed lives!

WEST CENTRAL PRC - May 7, 2012

Elizabeth Haney and Jim Houchens went with me to WCPRC. We opened the service in prayer, followed by their favorite chorus to sing "Enemy's Camp." The 32 women in the service really got into the "interaction" of the song. We followed with video praise and worship. One of the inmates sang "The Garden" and another inmate played a CD of a song she wanted to share. Our guest minister was Rev. Jim Houchens from Ft. Lauderdale, FL who gave his testimony and incorporated it together with the story of Jonah. Some of the women got on their feet and applauded when he was finished. I believe his testimony really touched their hearts. I then gave an altar call. Four women came up for prayer to make Jesus not just their Savior but LORD of their lives. They wanted a deeper walk with the Lord than what they have had so far. I had Jim lead them in a prayer and then Elizabeth H. shared some things with them that God had put on her heart. The Spirit of the Lord was very sweet in the service tonight. We then had women come up for special prayer for healing, deliverance, and other special needs! I truly believe some lives were changed tonight! Praise God!

WEST CENTRAL PRC - April 9, 2012

Kevin, Susan, Emily and I went to West Central and we had 55 in service. We started out with one of their favorite songs “Enemies Camp” and then did Video Praise and Worship followed by Emily ministering in song. The praise dance team ministered with two dances before Pastor Kevin brought the message. Every inmate in the room came up for prayer. It was an amazing service and the Holy Spirit was so heavy in the room!

WEST CENTRAL PRC - April 2, 2012

What an amazing time we had tonight. I took a great team with me tonight consisting of Susan, Emily, Joyce Cunningham, and Cudjoe Johnson (a pastor from Ghana, North Africa). We started out with “Enemy’s Camp” followed by a special song and testimony by Joyce. Then Emily sang several songs and ministered to the ladies. The West Central praise dance team ministered and had everyone in tears. When they finished, Pastor Johnson delivered a life-changing message that brought every inmate in the room to the front except for three. They were weeping before the Lord. I truly believe some lives were changed.

WEST CENTRAL PRC - March 12, 2012

Kevin, Susan, Emily and I went to West Central and we had 64 in service. I had laryngitis so Susan did all of the announcing and running the service and did an amazing job. We did Video Praise and Worship and then Emily ministered in song. The praise dance team ministered before Pastor Kevin brought the message. Every inmate but three came up for prayer. It was an amazing service and the Holy Spirit was so heavy in the room!

WEST CENTRAL PRC - March 5, 2012

What an amazing time we had tonight. We only had 34 in the service which is a smaller group than usual. We were told that a lot of them were sick. We had some difficulty with our sound equipment tonight so I had Emily start with some songs and her tambourine. Julia and I kept working on the sound system and Julia finally figured out what the problem was. YAY! After we did video praise and worship, two inmates did an interpretive dance. I usually ask them to dance every time we go because they are so anointed!!! I had asked Pete Smith, one of the pastors certified in our ministry, to preach tonight and he did an amazing job! All 34 ladies came up front for prayer to be set free from bondage in their life! I truly believe that some lives were changed tonight! Praise God!

WEST CENTRAL PRC - Feb. 13, 2012

Kevin and I went to West Central and we had 68 in service. We started out with one of their favorite songs “Enemies Camp” and then did Video Praise and Worship. Misty Dawn sang a special that was really beautiful. It was her last night at West Central because she is being transferred. The praise dance team ministered before Pastor Kevin brought the message. Every inmate but two came up for prayer. It was an amazing service and the Holy Spirit was so heavy in the room!

WEST CENTRAL PRC - Feb. 6, 2012

Emily, Susan, and I went to West Central to hold service. We started out with video praise and worship. One of the inmates (Liz) sang “On My Knees” which brought all of the women (and my team) to our feet! It was so beautiful! Emily then sang a couple of songs and brought the message on “The Infilling of the Holy Spirit.” I followed with a few more words and then an altar call. Out of 48 inmates, 34 came forward for prayer. It was an awesome service.

WEST CENTRAL - Jan 9, 2012

We had 68 in service tonight. I started off by challenging them to “get their praise on” and to give God radical praise! I ministered to them briefly on praise and how much it means to God. We then went into video praise and they really got into it. Emily then sang some specials and the ladies really got into it with her. Misty Dawn and a new inmate (Liz) came up to sing a duet which was so anointed and gave us Holy Spirit goose-bumps. This was followed by the WCPRC praise dance team who danced to “Alabaster Box.” The Holy Spirit was so thick in that room you could feel His presence. Pastor Kevin preached and when he finished there were 66 inmates (all but 2) on their knees on the floor up front, down the aisle and in front of chairs just weeping and crying before the Lord. I have never seen anything quite like it!

WEST CENTRAL - Jan. 2, 2012

Emily, Elizabeth Haney, Susan, John Chivington and I went to West Central to hold service. Warden gave special permission for John to go in to give his testimony which we were very thankful for. We had 64 in the service. I opened up by leading them in “Enemy’s Camp” which always gets them fired up for praise and worship. After video worship, Emily sang, followed by Misty Dawn (one of the inmates) and then the West Central PRC praise dance team. It was an amazing service. John then gave his testimony mingled with some Word from the Bible. It was well received. I concluded by saying a few things myself and giving an altar call. We had 9 ladies come up for prayer to commit their lives to the Lord.

WEST CENTRAL - Dec. 12, 2011

We had 65 in service tonight. More came in but left after the West Central Praise Dance team danced because the Women of Wisdom were also there. We had a great service. Emily sang a few songs and then we had video praise followed by Misty Dawn singing a special. Pastor Kevin brought the message and just about every inmate in the room came forward for prayer and one came up for first time salvation. Praise God for the moving of the Holy Spirit!

WEST CENTRAL - Dec. 5, 2011

We had our service in the lunch room tonight with only 8 ladies present due to GED testing and movie night being scheduled (which usually is not on Monday night). Even though we were few, we had a great service. We had praise video and Emily sang a few songs. I minister on Micah 7:8 – When I fall, I shall arise. We had prayer afterwards. One of the ladies was able to talk about some things and get prayer for some issues that they might not have opened up about if we had a large group. Praise God that He knows exactly what is needed!

WEST CENTRAL - Nov. 14, 2011

We had 86 in service and it was an amazing service. I felt led to have an inmate open in prayer, so one of the ladies volunteered immediately. Her prayer was a “mini-sermon” and was anointed. Ms. Emily started out with praise and worship and then we finished up with two songs via Video Praise. One of the inmates sang a special and then another inmate from the Praise Dance Team danced to “Redeemer.” It was so anointed. Then Misty Dawn (another inmate) sang “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” in a way only she can sing it. It brought the ladies in the room to their feet. It made it very easy for me to deliver the message on “The Father’s Embrace” from the text on the prodigal son. Around 30 ladies came front for prayer at the altar call.

WEST CENTRAL - Nov. 7, 2011

We had 38 in the service tonight due to some details being out late, etc. After praise and worship, Ms. Emily sang a couple of specials. The WCPRC choir sang and the praise dance team ministered. I ministered on “Fruit or Apple, I’m confused.” It was a message about how the devil tries to confuse us and some of the tactics he uses. We have to be aware of his tactics and be prepared in the Word. About 24 ladies came up for prayer afterwards. I praise God for the way He moves in the lives of people and uses the simplest things to change people’s lives!

WEST CENTRAL - Oct. 10, 2011

The room was full again to capacity and inmates were turned away! We need a bigger room! After praise and worship, Ms. Emily sang a couple of specials. The WCPRC choir sang, the praise dance team ministered, and Misty Dawn sang a special before Pastor Lance Johnson came to preach! I was not there because I had jury duty, but I was told that it was an amazing service and I really missed out!!! Praise God for His move of the Spirit at West Central.

WEST CENTRAL - Oct. 3, 2011

We had 86 women in the service! There would have been more but they had to turn them away because of restrictions by the Fire Marshall on the number of people allowed in the room. We did praise and worship and Ms. Emily sang a couple of special songs. The WCPRC choir sang, the praise dance team ministered, and Misty Dawn sang a special before Pastor Kevin Humphery came to preach! We had one salvation and then a long prayer line at the end of the service! It was an amazing time in the Lord!!!

WEST CENTRAL – Sept.12, 2011

What an amazing service at WCPRC! First of all we were allowed to take pictures and make a video of the service. That is God’s favor!!! That just doesn’t happen. We have been in revival since June and attendance has increased every time but there were 111 in this service! They brought chairs from all over until there were 104 chairs (not counting our chairs) and there were still 7 inmates standing. The WCPRC choir sang, the praise dance team ministered, Tonja Edwards read a beautiful poem that she wrote, and Misty Dawn sang a special before Bishop Lance Johnson came to preach! It would be impossible to explain how amazing the service was. If you look at our pictures section, you will see the pictures from this service.
