Another good night

Tuesday nights are always good at Love In Action as we host Celebrate Recovery Inside. Due to work, I missed three consecutive weeks, so to be back the last two weeks has been great.

Tonight was another good Tuesday night. Gia cooked another delicious dinner. I don't know how her husband William stays so skinny. Just always working hard I guess. Man, she can cook!

Then the worship was great. One of our work release men wanted to sing, so we handed the microphone to Cecil, and let me tell you, that brother can sing. Then one of our favorites, Alan, led worship. I always enjoy worshiping with Alan. God has given him such great talents.

Pastor Dwight was back with us after a long absence due to two back surgeries. He preached a strong message about King David and forgiveness. The message really hit home with a lot of people. The first man I prayed with during the altar call immediately pointed to Dwight's message and it helped him understand the situation he was in even better. The prayer time was good as always.

Then the small groups all had a good night. A lot of great ministry and growth take place during those small group meetings.

Another great thing about Tuesday nights is all of the one-on-one ministry I get to do. Tonight there were times of praying individually for some people, then times of listening to them. There was also a time to speak into the lives of a couple of individuals .. mentoring.

As always, Tuesday nights give us an opportunity to meet a lot of physical needs as well, such as clothing, food and hygiene items.

There are just so many opportunities to minister on Tuesday nights. I praise God for all of the opportunities. I praise God for giving us so many amazing volunteers who pour themselves into CRI every week. I praise God for the people He brings through those doors every Tuesday night.

Those who are struggling with hurts, habits or hangups, all find a safe place to let Jesus deal with them on Tuesday nights.

Yep, it was a another good night.
