Editor’s Note: The following reflection is shared by Murry Burkhart, one of our newest Malachi Dads team leaders who serves on Wednesday evenings at the Ramsey Prison Unit in Rosharon, Texas. Murry and his team of volunteers have been meeting with these 70 incarcerated men in small groups each week since Feb. Let’s hear what Murry has to say…..
“You could have heard a pin drop.”
That’s how quiet the Ramsey Unit chapel became as guest speaker Greg Houghtaling, CEO and Co-Owner of NatureBest Pre-Cut & Produce, LLC, challenged each man listening to make sure they truly knew Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.
Then Greg stayed for a Q&A, which the men greatly appreciated.
That night, we enjoyed pizza, fresh-cut fruit generously donated by NatureBest, cookies, and lemonade. They consumed it all! The fresh fruit was a new addition and a huge hit.
We ended the evening by inviting the men to share what God has been doing in their lives since being incarcerated. Around ten men stood and shared powerful testimonies of God’s work in their lives.
Many also expressed their appreciation for the Malachi Dads volunteers who faithfully show up each week to walk through The Resolution For Men study and lead the life discussions that take place around each table.
It was a beautiful evening with our friends at the Ramsey Unit.
Editor’s Note: Murry’s story is one of many. God is changing lives and restoring families every week. Follow the FAITH Prison Ministry – Malachi Dads Facebook page to hear more about what God is doing inside the prisons we serve.
