I hope this help with the weekend God is getting you ready for:
PRAY and Pray often – you will have everything go wrong – Let go and let God – People will drop/get sick/whatever – God is forming HIS team and HIS schedule, not yours – When count, recount and whatever else happens – Its God adjusting HIS schedule – I would suggest not fighting him on that HAHAHA
Pray daily for:
A. a spirit of obedience and sacrifice of your self-will.
B. God's purposes fulfilled in the Team and the Candidate's lives.
C. the exact Team Members that God wants on this team.
-
Gate list – Getting the warden/Chaplain to approve people on the lists
Stay on top of the Chaplain so he can get this list approved – For the Outside team and 4th day list, I have found email Chaplain and then call 5 minutes later to make sure he has it, Else Hand delivery the list a Saturday prior. The inside side list can be approved separate, I normally get it approved 2 weeks prior. ALSO – Communication is KEY with the 4th day as no one wants to drive 3 hours and get turned away.
-
Inside Team – ASAP – training at team meetings as well.
-
Outside Team and 4th Day community- Sunday arrival – Have a few extra copies – One to keep just in case, One to hand to the guard (speak with the TDCJ guard to be sure they are good to go at 2.30) – I also head out there and give a quick speech about security scan, the tape line no one can cross, no touching, ECT ECT
