the group, there are 6 female PDLs attending. The veterans on the team are up first allowing new members to watch and absorb the structure on this first day. GVT gave the President’s welcome, Tim Rice was our emcee, Mark Richardson gave his testimony, Tim Rice delivered the first sermon, Eddie Smith delivered the second sermon, GVT gave the altar call and healing prayer, and Tim gave the gifts to the inmates. One of Pastor Noel’s female volunteers, named Mhei, on his ministry team ask Kathleen and Dee to meet with the ladies after the service and pray for them. It is a moving experience for all. Soon after our team is welcomed upstairs to the next level of cells and individuals who had not been in the first group. We start up another service on the spot! This continues for another floor upstairs and we do it again! Intermittently Pastor Noel starts up all of us in singing “This is the Day!” Pastor Noel hands a microphone to Kathleen that is plugged into a portable speaker used in all our prison services and asks her to say a few words. Slightly unexpected moment but Kathleen goes for it and challenges the men to read their Bible every day and trust God! We are all delighted in the opportunities the Lord provided. We give gifts of food (Lugao porridge of eggs and rice), sandals, Bibles, and boiled eggs.
