What Do Glue, Prisons, and Eternity Have in Common?

The past couple days have been really intense. I have been working mostly with a group of 4 teenagers and their youth pastor from Tupalo Mississippi. There is also a large group, Youth For Orphans, from California here that I we have been working alongside of.
We all went out to the streets at night to minister to the kids out there. I met a lot of kids and had a really good time singing songs with them. It is really hard to try and talk, sing, and play with them, and then watch them put a bottle of glue up to there face. It only takes a few seconds to watch them fade away. You look into their eyes and all you see is a well too deep to draw from. The words, songs, and games turn into a blob of mess and they become mostly unreceptive. The best thing to do is to keep them in the joy of the games and songs so that they have a few moments of reality that they genuinely do not want to escape from. One of the kids I met that night, Kevin, came to church the next night. It was a huge encouragement.
The next day and we all went to the national prison to minister to some of the guys there. All I have to say about it is that angels sang without ceasing this day. I don’t even know how many guys came to Christ. I couldn’t count them. We presented the opportunity to them, and then prayed over them. One group of 4 gang members, MS 13 members all accepted Christ and sang worship songs with us. Then we hung out with them in the prison for about an hour just talking and playing chess. It was incredible. Eternity was forever changed before my eyes.
