GOD IS ALWAYS AT WORK AROUND US
John 5:17, 19-20 (NKJV) – “17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father has been working until now, and I have been working….19 Then
Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son
can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever
He does, the Son also does in like manner. 20 For
the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself
does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may
marvel. 2”
God is always at work around us. Jesus watched to see where the Father
was at work and joined Him. God has also invited many Safer
Communities Ministry volunteers to become involved with Him in His
work. Amazing things are happening, as a result of willing Christ followers who have volunteered and answered His call to action!
THE AUGUST CRUSADE TO SOUTH CAROLINA PRISONS
On August 23-25, over 50 SCM volunteers agreed to join God in what hat
He was doing in 9 prisons in SC. The volunteers lead worship services
that included songs, personal testimonies, preaching of the Word, and
prayer/altar time for South Carolina inmates.

After Saturday night services during the crusade, volunteers from
each service told of what God had done at each facility. It was a
precious, precious time of fellowship to hear how the body of Christ was
working together in one accord.
The testimonies from these dear brothers and sisters were such a fragrant offering to God!
To sum it up, one ex-offender who has been volunteering in the Union County Jail was deeply moved during his first SC crusade. “I am amazed at how many people “from the outside” (of prison) could have so much love for people on the "inside” (of prison).
Not only were the lives of
countless inmates changed forever. Over 20 new volunteers became
“activated in the Lord’s Army” that weekend.
REVIVAL IN THE UNION COUNTY JAIL - WEEKEND WORSHIP SERVICES
God has continued the
momentum from the August Crusade by bringing those same new, and not so
new, crusade volunteers into the Union County Jail for worship services.
(Recently the Lord prompted SCM to add weekend worship services that
included Saturday and Sunday services in the morning and night.)
Here is just a portion of what the Lord revealed to Al Lewis about revival in the Union County Jail.
"I see a large tent covering parts of the jail, but other parts are dark and in the wilderness. I see this core group of praying, submitted, dynamic and compassionate Christian Warriors pulling up the tent pegs and moving them into every corner of the facility, enlarging that tent for Christ.
I believe revival has started
in the jail. We are stoking the flames of an all consuming fire which
is burning up all the wood, hay, and stubble Satan has strewn all over
the facility. The Holy Ghost of God is moving like a mighty wind
through every steel door into every heart of every inmate volunteer and
staff. Bondages are being broken, broken-hearts are mending and captives are being set free by the power of God!
Some
of these inmates (served by the ministry) will be used of God in these
last days to quicken the cold hearts of people sitting in the pews.
(The pew warmers) are in prisons of their own making because of
unforgiveness, resentments, bitterness, greed, and other besetting sins
that keep them glued to the pews. The time has come to share what you
know. Let God give you more to share. His church will rise to the
occasion. Revival which starts with the least of these (the inmates),
will touch HIS church….Selah!
