What is the table about?

Incarceration does more than just house bad people away from society. It tears families apart and can destroy a soul. But...it also could pull families together and strengthen a soul. It can pull one back to the Lord . People get cynical and laugh at the recitatation rate of prisoners returning to jail. I have a few thoughts on this I will explain in another blog.

My name is Amy, and my husband's name is Israel. My husband is incarcerated for the next two years, and we are taking the time to ask God...why? In our wait for answers, God planted the seeds for a ministry that we still do not know where it will go. At first we were angry that this happened, but then we realized this was bigger than us. As one door opened after another...we saw that God had a bigger plan than just our life. Both of us have commited our life to the Lord...so, does that mean we love God and want to serve Him if it fits in the plans we have designed for our life? Or does it mean we love him and will serve Him no matter what design He has for our life. Never did Israel think I want to go to prison for God. Never did I think, I think Ill choose to be married to a amn incarcerated across the country. But we both are responding to a call we never envisioned for our life. We are trusting that God has all of it under controll, and we are to but serve. So here we are.

When my husband was swat teamed and brought to prison...he did not know what to do. He was angry and hurt, and didnt understand why God had him there. Within a few days, he felt led to sit at a table and open his bible. Within days a group of men had come together around the Table and were worshiping God, praying for eachother, and sharing testimonies. This continued even after my husband was shipped across country to another facility. In this place, he was not received well, because everyone new him. He was front page news in this small city. But he went and sat at the table, and opened his bible. Two weeks went by, but another prisoner walked up and started asking him questions. Six weeks later, there are three bible studies a day hapening in this facility around three tables. Israel will be moving again to another temporary facility before finding a final institution. What will happen there? My feeling is the Lord will meet him there as well.

On the outside, I have been walking through doors I never knew exhisted as well. I am about to start a small group as well that helps loved ones of people in prison reach closer to God and become stronger through their refinment as well. The program The Lord introduced me to was named "The Lared Round Table". Interesting, huh? I thought so. I do not beleive in coincidence...I see signs and guidence in things like this. More on this later.

So, this explains what the table is. Israel has a table in prison, and tables will continue on without him. I have a table started in Alabama, and it will continue on there. I will feel this blog with testimonies and how to be a part of a table for yourself. It is time to get real and lay it out on the table for christ to deal with. Our prisons can be broken. We can be free. And we can have a deeper relationship with the Lord than we ever imagined possible.

Protect and Serve by Corbin Royce, Wa

Psalm 91:4: He shall cover you with His feathers , and under His wings you shall take refuge . His truth shall be your shield and buckle.

AS foot soldiers in Christ, we have to prepare for everything. One of our mission objectives is to spread the Word of Jesus Christ to as many people as we can before "The final day". Our biggest obligation as Christians is to plant a seed to grow a tree that is consisted of God's love, peace, compassion, hope humbleness and faith. As foot soldiers, we are going to run into people that are going to be bad hearted and stubborn. And some that are going to be open minded and willing to learn. Reguardless of the person/people we run into we need absolute faith in Him that nothing will go wrong.The verse listed at top, Psalm 91:4 , gives us that drive and will to trust our Lord and Savior. With that, our faith has to trust that with God on our side we are always in good hands and protected. Like it says, "His truth shall be our sheild and buckle". The most important lesson and key is not to get discouraged about people who criricize, ridducule and make fun of the Christian way. Just brush it off and let God take care of them on judgement day.

He wrote a note to me, Amy, as well. It made me cry. I have never met this man. But I want to share with you what God has going on in this walk we are walking. I want to share this with you as well.

Dear Amy, Israel is such a blessing to me. What you two are doing is Amazing. Your husband has been an inspiration in my life. He taught me a lot about the word. I got out of prison today, and my sponsor picked me up. It is 7:15 in Washington . I am volunteering at a homeless shelter in Port Townsend. I met this young adult , named Aaron, and planted a seed of Christ. I ask that we pray for him and that God does the rest. Or that someone else plants another seed that broadens his horizons in Christs' love. At THE TABLE in Kitsap County Jail, You and your family has been in my prayers and will continue to be in my prayers. Thankyou for working on this website. When it gets up and running, please send it to me so I can share it with my family and others who need encouragement. I want to know about all the miracles God is doing in people's lives. I truly appreciate the work you and Israel are doing . Thank you, and God Bless. Sincerely, Your family in Christ, Corbin C. Royce
