Have you felt the excitement that has been building in prison? We have held a two-part series that went into detail regarding baptism and sharing your testimony. We have 70 courageous, power filled women who will be "taking the plunge" and be baptized on Saturday January 25th from 6:40-8:40 p.m. Only God could create such a hunger for restoration.
I wish you could have witnessed it in prison last time...
After the message, 70 hands raised high wanting to be baptized. Then those women met one-on-one with a team member spread throughout the gym. Each person guided by questions from the team member, fully understanding and confessing their belief in Christ. (The Westwood team interviewed each women wanting to be baptized to be sure they understood the meaning of baptism and that they had received Jesus as their Savior.) In the background, the worship team played beautifully as the remaining women worshipped.
I would confidently say, thanks to your prayers, God is creating a REVIVAL in Shakopee Prison. "Hallelujah!"
We now need you more than ever to intercede on our behalf, for our families, for the baptism celebration and for the women.
Please pray in "PRAISE" ahead of time for all that God has done and will do.
- Thank you Lord we get to conduct a FULL IMMERSION baptism using Westwood's portable tub.
- Thank you Lord for a smoothly run evening, set-up, tear-down and a God orchestrated baptism celebration. That it will indeed be a celebration! (Pray the tub doesn't have any issues and we have enough time for all 70 to be baptized at both services.)
- We praise you for your Holy Spirit's presence to be felt by each person in attendance.
- Lord, please hand invite each person - that those unsaved will come to witness the POWER of baptism and be saved themselves.
- Pray against the enemy, that he will be unable to use any warfare against our families, ourselves, nor our entire prison team (including you) and any of the baptized women.
- Favor from the prison staff with no disruptions.
- PRAY GOD'S NAME WILL BE GLORIFIED IN THIS SERVICE AND THROUGHOUT THE PRISON!
Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you have granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given Him. John 17:1-2
I am in awe of our heavenly father. Let's pray boldly and in praise ahead-of-time!
It just doesn't get any better than this!
