At the CIW women’s prison, we had a lively service. A full inmate led worship band ushered in the energy we all needed before the service. After the service, we presented gifts to the female warden. She was delighted that we came to visit and decided to give us a tour of the facility. Stairs, corridors, work stations where crafts and products are sold within the prison and will be sold online soon, a hair boutique, a church, like a small city. On the tour, we visited the cancer ward and prayed for the eight women there. Then we went the maternity ward where there were two babies, one 6 months and the other 2 months. Kathleen took the opportunity to share the gospel with the baby. The warden explained that the babies stay with the incarcerated Mom until one year of age and then the baby must be placed elsewhere either with family or foster care. Tim says he’s copying Bob Jordan as we turn to see him gleefully offering baby talk to the one year old scooping him up in his arms.
