I have has the privilege of hanging out with a bunch of guys at a state prison for the last year or so. I along with 5 others have been working with them to understand the relationship between their beliefs, values, motives, and behaviors. It was great fun when on our last night when I saw the guys really start to connect the dots.
Yesterday, I met with 21 new guys from the same prison to introduce them to and invite them along on this same journey. They were all excited about the possibility of developing a life platform that they can then stand on as they finish out their sentence, but more importantly that will help them to make wiser choice on the outside so that they don’t end up back behind bars.
I have given them two weeks to pray about and ponder upon whether they want to engage this journey. I am excited to learn their stories, to see where they have come from and to help them see were God can use them on the future. Each one of us has a unique story, a unique set of skills and relationships that God can use to reach others.
I will share with you parts of our journey together as it begins to unfold.
