No Barriers with God...even in Jail

Mary* attended the services at the host church for Samaritan's Purse this past Sunday.  During the week she was arrested for various charges and is also dealing with probation violations.  The chaplains decided to visit her in jail; but upon arriving were told that  "there are no visiting hours today". God did a mighty work in the hearts of the men in authority and we were granted visiting privileges.  We were separated by glass and talked through phones, but had a meaningful visit.  While holding "Steps to Peace With God" up to the window, Mary* read the prayer to rededicate her life to Christ.  We left reading materials with the guard, for her.
