Beto I "Weekend of Excitement" Day 2

Good morning

Today is day two of a weekend of excitement at Beto unit here in Palastine Texaswith Mike Barber Ministries. Yesterday's experience  of entering the prison unit and walking the wings to speak with men who are hurting and hungry  serves as a reminder of how many families and loved ones are also on the outside hurting and hungry.

When we, as freeman, leave there,  we would ask that God had increase to the seats we have scattered and raise up leaders within the ranks of the men that are in white so that the light does not decrease but increases in that place. It only took 12 man to change the world , Yesterday we had 13…
