TO BE CONTINUED: MOTELS



From Glory to Glory - 2013

It's been almost a year since I posted! Pierre Aglow has continued with prison ministry in two different venues each month, with occasional local meetings included in the mix.

January 2013 brought Karen and Steve Nelson from Elkton, SD, who ministered with us a the prison and at a local meeting held in our home. This is a visual interpretation Karen created around the concepts in the Beatitudes.

In February 2013, the team 'Sounds of Grace' from around Olivet, SD, presented a sketch developed from Katie Souza's series on "The Key to Your Expected End".They also presented copies of Katie Souza's book to prison inmates. The team ministered effectively at a local meeting as well.

In March 2013, Pastor Brad Gienger from Seventh Day Adventist Church in Pierre, SD, ministered with Aglow at the prison. It was an awesome and fulfilling time of worship and the Word.

April 2013 brought Jeff and Autumn Mann from James River Church in Huron, SD, who presented a 3-part Healing Retreat last weekend. Simultaneously, Colleen and Ivan Venner ministered in worship and word at the other unit.

And here we are with May 2013!  Kathryn (Kit Murray) will minister with an abbreviated Aglow team (limited by conflicting graduation engagements), but I know it will be powerful!

 

Hepzibah and Beulah

Pierre Aglow has been involved in a prayer initiative in the past year, covering the state of South Dakota and our nation with prayers of repentance and healing. This is one of the promises we have been praying:

     “No more will anyone call you Rejected, and your country will no more be called
     Ruined. You'll be called Hephzibah (My Delight), and your land Beulah (Married).”
      – Isaiah 62:4 (The Message)

This promise is about the land being fruitful, and able to support us and our families. Many of us have family members who really wanted to live in South Dakota but weren’t able to make a living for their family here. As we prayed onsite over towns in our area, we could almost visualize the multitudes of sons and daughterse who should be there, but who are living and working and bringing creativity and abundance to other parts of the country.

I have first-hand experience with this exodus: one brother and his family left South Dakota unwillingly to make a home near San Antonio, TX.  They have done very well in Texas, but they really wanted to stay here. I also have a sister who lived in Albuquerque before moving to Texas. She did not have the same tie to our state, but she would have stayed here if the economic potential had been better.

After having claimed this promise for long months, we believe that we are beginning to see the fulfillment of this promise.  Young people we know - the 'ernest' of the promise - are returning and taking their place to fulfill their calling in South Dakota. It’s an exciting time – we invite you to pray this promise and watch with us for the fulfillment!

Pierre Aglow Prison Ministry hosted The Father's Heart Retreat with Jeff and Autumn Mann on April 13 and 14. Jeff and Autumn pastor James River Church in Huron, SD. The retreat was awesome! They will be offering the retreat again this fall in Huron, and we highly recommend it.

Jeff and Autumn's retreat materials were based on ministry offered by John and Sarah Urich at "Light to the Nations Fellowship" headquartered in Sanford, FL  This video introduces their Father's Heart Encounter. More information is available from Jeff and Autumn or John and Sarah at these websites.

Meeting in Homes - What a (Biblical) Concept!

Pierre Aglow hosted a local 'home meeting' on March 24, to make sure we got the most from Nancy Bartel and Sharon Owen in addition to their weekend of ministry at the prison. Every time we host a home meeting, we are sold again on them again. It was so fulfilling - wonderful attendance, worship, fellowship and ministry. 

 Donna Chopper ministers to Nancy Bartel.

Altar Time

Ministry and worship at the close of the meeting.



We have sometimes been uncertain about hosting a home meeting, but were encouraged to read this the next day:

Chuck Pierce in “Time to Defeat the Devil”, p. 3-4, in the section ‘Believe That You Can and You Will’:

"…In this season we must rehearse the Word. What revelation has come to you? That is what you use to war in the world around you. We must meditate on what God says until the power of that revelation enters our bloodstream and cell structure.

We also must learn to worship and minister in our homes. Doing so will allow our gifts to be activated in a new way in small groups. When the time comes that we are not free to worship publicly in our church buildings, we will already know how to continue worshiping in our homes….”

Four Primary Laws... shared by Nancy Bartel from Staff & Bowls Ministry

The speaker at our March Aglow meetings, Nancy Bartel, shown here with her husband Wally, reminded us of what the Elijah House Ministry (http://www.elijahhouse.org/) calls the Four Primary Laws from Scripture. They consider these laws to be foundational in healing hearts and transforming lives through the truth that is found in Jesus Christ.  Scroll down to read the Four Primary Laws.

We hope to bring Nancy and Wally to Pierre again in 2012, although they won't be able to return to the prison again until 2013.


Sharon Owen accompanied Nancy on this journey and shared her testimony with us at the prison and at a home meeting on Saturday evening. Our cat Jasmine tried to make her welcome.

Colleen and Ivan Venner led us into worship on Saturday evening, and Nancy played her flute and guitar.

 

Four primary laws…

Elijah House Ministry



1.  Honor your father and mother…


As the Lord your God has commanded you, that your days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with you on the land which the Lord your God gives you.


Deut. 5:16


2.  Do not judge, lest you be judged yourselves.


For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it shall be measured to you. Matt. 7:1-2



3. Whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.


For the one who sows to his own flesh shall from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit shall from the Spirit reap eternal life. Galatians 6:7-8



4. For you who judge practice the same things.


Therefore you are without excuse, every man of you who passes judgment, for in that you judge another, you condemn yourself.

Romans 2:1
