West Virginia - Tuesday

Today was a wonderful day in West Virginia! We divided into 3 different groups this morning. Jim, Don, Bobby and David went to the home of a shut-in, where they installed a shower. They will finish that job tomorrow. Lynda, Wiley and Danny visited 10 shut-ins with "sunshine bags." They made some meaningful visits. I took Pat, Sharon, Lynne, Will, Algaree, Joe and Charlene to the Greenbriar Birthing Center - a federal prison for pregnant inmates. The girls can keep their babies with them at the BC for 18 months before they must return to regular prison.

Our group had a very good day. The children were very sweet and the girls really appreciated our ministry. They especially enjoyed doing crafts. We played with the babies and fed the girls pizza. Pat did a very nice job with the Bible Study and Lynne planned the crafts.

After an excellent dinner tonight, 9 of our folks left to go to the Denmar state prison to worship with the men there.

Tomorrow we will send groups to do home repair, visitation, and back to the clothing giveaway. We will also give away food tomorrow and lead the worship services at First Baptist Church in Huntersville tomorrow night.
