Dear Friends and Family,
According to the plan, at this point of the day, we would have wrapped up our first two softball games, one ministry presentation, and already had lunch with the men that we would have come to minister to. Unfortunately, the trip that was supposed to happen today was postponed because of a lockdown at the prison.
This isn’t the first time that we have had a postponement or cancellation. This one hurts a little more because it was not only our first visit of the season but our first visit in over two years!
Fortunately, we can trust that God is sovereign and that He will provide a way for the inmates at Robinson to hear the Gospel, either later in the year from us, or from other believers who come to minister.
It has been a busy week so it is a blessing to have an unexpected Saturday to spend with our families. I actually got to help with a project at our church this morning that I hadn’t planned on doing!
In the meantime, please pray for our upcoming Crusade to Indiana. Two of my Illinois teammates and I will be leaving early Wednesday morning for a 5 day trip to the greater Indianapolis area. We will be ministering in 6 different prisons. I will be sending another update about this trip later but please start praying for this trip.
Also, keep our next Illinois visit in prayer. Our new Opening day is July 9th as we plan to visit Taylorville CC. Please pray that we are allowed to go and minister and that God would provide for the trip!
Thank you for all of your support this season and throughout the years as I have had the opportunity to serve.
Thanks,
Tom Gibson
