Donna’s Story

I started visiting women in prison here in Savannah, and my heart broke open for them. At the same time, I felt Jesus telling me it was time to for my heart to open to one person in my own family, my own sister, who was in prison in Louisiana.

I had shut her out, built a wall, but Jesus tore down that wall. I felt compassion toward her begin to flow. I was overcome by a desire to see her, love her.

I went to her prison. My sister came around the corner, and she just cried. I was able to hug her. She asked if I would forgive her; I told her no. It’s me who needs forgiveness for shutting you out. I could see God moving in both of us. He mended a broken relationship. I am awed by what our awesome God did for me that one day. All praise to Him!
