Our precious Lord is no respecter of persons but came to seek and to save all those who would come to Him in faith, seeking salvation. For the past six years I have been privileged to attend a wonderful camp for inmates sponsored by the WMU of the North Carolina Baptist Convention. God began to burden my heart that there should be more than one camp a year, therefore reaching many more inmates. Two years later the vision became reality. Forgiven Ministry held their first camp for female inmates.

We named the camp THREE DAYS WITH GOD, for truly it is just that. The camp is so anointed from the time the inmates get off the prison vans until they board them again for the trip back behind the walls. God hand-picks the volunteers or mentors that become a Christian sister to each participant. Between the tears and the love of God that richly flows during those three days you feel as though you have stepped inside Heaven. I personally have never felt closer to my precious Lord than during those three days. The inmates attending are selected on an honor grade basis and have been clean of infraction for a designated time. I know that most of the women who come have never experienced a time of praise and worship, a mentor who listens and prays with them and 48 hours of constant Christian fellowship. God uses this time to impact their life. During the events the inmates get to know, acknowledge and trust God with their life and future. Every event is filled with God's love, hope and forgiveness. Our classes strongly encourage them that through Christ they can break the strongholds in their life. Our team feels that there is no cost too high for a lost soul to spend three days with God, do you?

IF ONE CHILD COULD HAVE A CHRIST-CENTERED MOM RETURN HOME FROM PRISON, THINK OF THE JOY OF THAT HOME FOREVER. IT COULD CHANGE THE PATH HER CHILD TAKES IN LIFE.
