Remember when I was telling you that we could not take a camera into the prison, only if it was a special occasion? Well, I have heared from the guards that actually if we talk to the director of the prison and tell him why we want to take in the camera there might be a chance for it. So, last week on Wednesday I went and talked to the director, and he allowed me take in my camera with a lady body guard thoughJ It was so much fun!


 


On this picture you see the inside of the women's side, as we enter their side.


She came with me and for like 15 minutes very helpfully followed me, made me a favor taking  pictures of me and my friends there. You should have see their faces, how happy they were that they have their pictures taken. So , I printed some of the pictures and took them yesterday.


On this picture you see their cells from the outside


Wow! It just touches my heart so much to see that a little thing like this means so much to them, and  makes them so happy( Soon I will post more pictures!)…..But there is so much junk going on in there! The devil definitely is at work inside. They do drogs right there in front of you, the ladies are lesbians, almost every one of them as sad as it sounds, men gay, stealing from each other, fighting all the time. Every time we go we remind each other that no mater wat we are going to see or hear inside, we have to remember that Jesus already defeted the devil and we are more then conquerors in Him! And it is so amazing to see how the Lord opens up doors for us to share Him and to show love to those people.For example , this coming week there will be a group coming to Matamoros from Canada, and they offered to help with any needs that we noticed in our ministries. So in this way we can help this girl, Mari and her little 4 months old daughter, Gendy with some baby stuff, diapers and such. The Lord definitely cares about them. And not only their physical needs, but also their spiritual needs, so He opened up an opportunity for the whole group to go in the prison and do an evangelistic outreach on  Saturday! Isn't this cool? We are going to present two drimes, share several testimonies, sing songs of course ultimately our main purpose being to share the Good news of Jesus Christ. I am so much looking forward ad soo excited!


As the Lord brings you this ministry in your minds especially in the next few days, please pray for  hearts to be softened and lives to be changed as they will hear and see Jesus through our lives!Thank you very much and will share next week about our ministry on Saturday.
