after Saturday Service at Wallace Pack Unit March 5th.
Saturday March 5th
The Lord is moving through the bi-lingual services in the unit. So grateful the Lord has brought Felipe and Gricelda Carrillo and their crew from Nueva Vida Church in Channelview to assist with the services. The men are growing and the I'm learning some Spanish! LOL! How about that? During worship the Lord had me share a verse out of Isaiah 48 and then revelation began flowing. We opened the altar for prayer and the team went to work blessing God's people...His sons. Such a sweet presence of the Lord there Saturday. Special shout out to Ruben and Israel who were overtaken by the Holy Spirit and joined the worship band as backup singers, or should I say worshipers! It was awesome and so anointed. I love these guys so much. As always, there was so much joy in the presence of the Lord. Also welcome to Jessica Quiroz, new addition to the bi-lingual team of ministers.

Tuesday morning class - March 8th
The class has grown from about 60 to almost 100 men since we first started last year. This morning Holy Spirit took the class in a direction we were not expecting. Instead of doing our lesson we ended up doing a worship, communion and activation service. We recently received approval to bring a shofar into the unit. We worshipped and then we corporately repented for all sin and iniquity ever committed on the property, asked God to cleanse the property and remove all curses that came upon the property all the way back to day 1. The presence of God filled the place. We then took communion and declared the land to be in covenant with God as well as ourselves. Mark Upchurch was with me and assisted me with anointing all the men with anointing oil made from the olive trees in Israel at the foot of Mount Tabor. The scent was so beautiful. Then the Lord had me sound the shofar over the men and the heavens were opened and a new mantle was released to the men at over the Wallace Pack Unit. Words can't do enough to describe the experience.

Please remember us in your prayers and thank you for your support.

Best,
Samuel
