That it is best to relate where we relate. The ministry friend that knows about my involvement here, herself has a bit of an edgy ministry. She limits herself to genres where she specifically has experience and counsel from God. She know how to encourage a prostitute, I have gone with her to prison ministries. Herself also having been in jail after shooting her husband. Who else knows how to encourage the incarcerated, than one having been there - receiving encouragement from God, and passing on the same. What encouragement is better?

Jesus suffered outside the camp, We are very much outside the camp also. Lets keep it here.
Have you been involved in the Kairos Program for prisoners? I was in prison for shooting my husband also and was able to attend their program one year..it was beautiful & they really did not judge us again..but I don't believe I would want to ever step one toe inside again to encourage anyone..please don't think I don't care for those inside now but I just would not want to ever even have to view or "smell" the inside..I can encourage right out here.
