Update: Johnny Moffitt

Wow!  What a tremendous three days.  Betty and I just returned from ministering three nights at the IMA Annual Conference in Little Rock, Arkansas. 

Pastors and Missionaries from across America and around the world.  What an honor to be asked to minister to these men and women of God.  God met us in a special way.  It was great to see old friends and make new ones.  The IMA is a great organization.

Betty and I went to minister for Al and Tammy Schaefer, a great team of prison ministers from Greenville, TX.

Marriage Seminar Hughes Unit

Tomorrow we meet up with a wonderful team of volunteers in Gatesville, Texas, to prepare for a “Marriage Seminar” for 33 very special inmate couples.

The Hughes Unit is a very large prison with almost 3,000 prisoners. Many of these men have long sentences. One of the wives coming has not seen her husband in eight years. Two of the wives are coming from Europe. We need your prayers.

WVIW Marriage Seminar

Pray for the wives to have traveling mercies, no child care problems, no financial issues, and no health concerns. Pray the same for the volunteers. Pray the prison will be receptive to us and that peace will reign during the seminar. Pray for favor with the officers and staff of the prison.

The Hughes Unit in Gatesville, Tx is where Worldwide Voice In the Wilderness  held our very first “Marriage Seminar” in Texas in 1995. Since then we have held about 100 seminars in the prisons of Texas, with close to 2,500 marriages touched.

Worldwide Voice In the Wilderness has received two Texas State Governor's Awards for Marriage Seminar ministry in prisons. They are the primary outreach of WVIW.

Thank you for praying and for giving. 

Johnny Moffitt
