Wrapping it up in Robinson…Last Visit of the Year Tomorrow!

Sometime in the next 24 hours, we will conclude our 2019 Saints Prison Ministry softball season here in Illinois.  As the Lord wills tomorrow, the Gospel will go out, the last out will be made, handshakes and hugs will happen, and we will reflect on what God did in 2019 before we park the bus for the last time this year.  I don’t know what tomorrow will hold but I am thankful for the faithfulness of many people as we shared the Gospel in prison.  I am thankful for supporters who have faithfully supported an out-of-shape softball player over the years.  I am thankful for the faithfulness of my friends, family, and church who have faithfully prayed for me over the years as I’ve been involved in the ministry. 

I have received so many compliments over the years for volunteering with the Saints Prison Ministry and, while I really do enjoy the encouragement, I know our team’s focus can’t be the kind words from people but rather what Paul tells the Corinthian church in 1 Corinthians 4:2.

Moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.

Please pray for us as we serve tomorrow as an act of obedience to a God who was merciful enough to choose us to serve Him!

Tomorrow we are going to Robinson CC and we will play 4 games.  During the morning session, Josh Frederick will share his testimony and Drew Aberle will share the Gospel.  During the afternoon session, Nick Sauder will share his testimony and I will share the Gospel.  Please pray for us as we play softball and share the Gospel.  Please pray that we finish 2019 strong!
