Sorry for the delay in posting. Internet was out at the Tillman household over the weekend.
Just got back from Riverbend Men’s Fellowship at Safehaven. We had the opportunity to cook Thanksgiving for the men at Safehaven. We had a great turn out of guys! Over the past few weeks I have been taking the guys through a study on Faith by Manley Beasley. This study has stretched the men of Safehaven, it has stretched me. I asked the men of Riverbend to come out with me and they did. We had a great time! Brad Fowler fried us a turkey and the men at Safehaven and Riverbend LOVED IT.
Over the past two months I have had the opportunity to speak each Friday night to the men of Safehaven and I have enjoyed spending time with the men there. Many of you may not know what Safehaven is, it is a transitional ministry form men who have served their time in the prison system and trying to get acclimated back into society. Larry Logan is the director and there is doing a great job.
The thing I love best about Safehaven is that the men there are hungry to learn the Word. They have messed up and paid for it, but now they want to grow. Every time I am there I am reminded of God’s grace and also His desire to use us if we make ourselves available.
As I close may I just challenge us all to grow! Be in God’s Word and obey what He says. We must remember that this world is not our home; we are residents of heaven. We are here for a reason; to be ambassadors for Him. He has us here on official business. We are to live out our lives in such a way that everyone around us knows that we are His. They know because we are telling them and also they know because they see a difference. So be His and remain focused on the task at hand.
Brian
