TC welcomes Byron Sellers

This weekend at Team Church (April 22nd)  we have a special guest.  Let me introduce you to Mr. Byron Sellers who has recently been on missions in the Dominican Republic providing wheelchairs to the poor and disabled.   He works with Joni & Friends, the ministry of Joni Eareckson Tada.  You can see some photos from the Dominican Republic here on Joni’s website.

Byron recently preached to the inmates at Kershaw Correctional, where I chaplain.  Here are just a couple of minutes of his testimony becoming paralyzed at 14 years old, and how he knows that God is working through his disability.

This Sunday, please welcome Mr. Byron Sellers to Team Church.

Elevation in Kershaw…God’s Hand on Kershaw

Last week was really exciting for me at the prison.  I am one of the chaplains at Kershaw Correctional Institution.We had a very special service that featured several pastors from Elevation Church.  Elevation has “adopted” our prison chapel as one of their Extension campuses.  That means that weekly one of the worship services we provide is the same video that other campuses use.

What made this service so special is that Pastor Steven Furtick preached on Thursday at Kershaw.  He speaks at the largest venues in the world, so it was super cool of him to say, that he really wanted to come to Kershaw to see what was happening for himself.

If you’re reading this blog from anywhere else in the world, you simply can’t know what it is like to see God work in Kershaw.  There is some kind of special anointing about this place.  For Kershaw to be out in the proverbial nowhere, a lot of really neat things go on here–even in prison.

This is just another example of the hand of God resting on us in Kershaw.  (We also have had Norman Geisler preach at Kershaw’s chapel).

For many people, they won’t see it.  They say, “you got to go thirty minutes to get to a Walmart.”  That may be true, but God’s got his hand on Kershaw, and Walmart doesn’t carry that!

Team Church is in Kershaw because Kershaw is special to God!  I’m so glad that we were called to this mission.  I guess this would be the time to insert “We are Lancaster?”   mmm…. 😉
