Hello Family,

Thank you for covering the recent Encounter Retreat in prayer.

We never know how an Encounter Retreat will go. We stay ready and flexible to roll with whatever the Holy Spirit decides to do! To that end, we did have a surprise to navigate.

There was a clerical error with the prison facility, which resulted in most of the volunteers unable to gain access to the unit. Despite this, it was a powerful time witnessing the Holy Spirit on the move.

To give you a taste of what these events are like, watch Pastor Jerome Brandon’s Facebook update from a recent Encounter Retreat below!

As with any opportunity where redemption is poised to occur, the enemy works overtime to throw wrenches into the works. We have found it crucial to have a targeted prayer covering over our team and the unit we will be ministering in.

God is sovereign and will do what He will, but through prayer, we get to partner with Him to bring His kingdom here on earth! Check out the graphic below to understand the spiritual preparation before an event and how you can partner with us to unleash God’s Kingdom.

Thank you for being here. We appreciate your partnership as we bring the Good News to the lost and hurting in our prison system.

God bless you, and God keep you!

Pastor Charles Anderson and the ELC Team
