Faith Seeds Travels to Michigan

Women’s Huron Valley Correctional Facility

We had a wonderful day at Huron Valley Correctional, located in Ypsilanti, Michigan. I arrived the evening before our two scheduled Prayer Seminars, and was picked up by the Michigan Prison Fellowship staff. The invitation to come to Huron Valley had been extended by the Prison Fellowship office and they did a great job in coordinating the event.

The first Prayer Seminar began in the morning. When we arrived at the facility, two local volunteers joined us. We were met by the Chaplain and escorted to the location of the event. Women from one wing of the prison came in the morning and from a different wing came to the afternoon event. There were a total of 150 women who participated in the Prayer Seminars that day. We had time for a few questions, and the women engaged in a prayer exercise that showed them how to pray for one another. There were moments of tears and of laughter as we shared on the power of prayer, the authority that believers have to pray, and different ways of praying. There was a tender time as we talked about being a great mom includes praying for our children – and that from the place the women are at now, they can be a parent who sets the right example.

We returned home with nearly 150 prayer requests, brought to our intercessory team. Many women signed up for our correspondence Bible Study on prayer. We thank the staff at Huron Valley, the staff at Prison Fellowship, and all those who lifted this day up in prayer.
