Ministered at Innerfaith Disciple House in Conroe, Texas last Thursday night. Thursday night is family night. The families of the men in the program come for potluck dinner with a worship service following after dinner. A guest is also invited to come share their personal testimony with the men to encourage and strengthen their faith. It was my third time to visit, but my first time to share with the guys. It was an honor to have my younger brother Jesse with me. We were even asked by the men to stay after everyone left so we could join the men in their time of prayer before they called it a night. Wow. We were very honored to a part of that. We look forward to our next visit.
I met the director of Innerfaith, Chris Follet, through a mutual friend. Chris himself is low hanging fruit produced by Innerfaith Disciple House in Central Texas. After he completed the program he heard the call of God to open his own IDH location. He came to Conroe, Texas nearly 5 years ago, put his hands to the plow and never looked back. His story is truly amazing and inspiring, as is, the stories of the many who have come through his doors in Conroe. Visit the ministry website at www.innerfaithdisciplehouse.com.
The following about IDH is from their webpage:
Innerfaith Disciple House is a character building program designed to help men, 18 years and older, overcome life's addictions, hurts, habits and hang-ups. Through discipleship, we reach out to men who have struggled with drugs and alcohol. We are first and foremost a discipleship program where men are taught to walk faithfully with God in the same manner as Jesus walked through Surrender, Obedience and Service (SOS). When a man has come to the end of himself; when he has hit rock bottom and his spirit is truly broken - whether through drugs, alcohol or other hurts, habits and hang-ups - he must be completely ready and willing to dedicate at least 6 months of his immediate future in order to busy his former self and become a new creation through Christ Jesus.
Remember Chris, his staff, volunteers and the men in the program in your prayers. A couple of pics from the night.
Receive this blessing:
May the Lord bless you and keep you,
May the Lord make His face shine upon you;
And be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.
His best to you,
