Hey! It’s me, Kathy Wooten :)
“Change is in the air.” The theme
around here has been “Change”.
I don't like change. I mean, I can
handle the good kind of change like a
new shirt every now and then but lots
of change I’m not that into. Change is like a giant “sifter”,
it shows my yucky stuff (dross - there has been a lot of sift
happening :)
The House of Prayer has a new building in downtown Wilmore which is really great. It is in the
remodeling phase, getting it ready to be a bigger place of prayer called The Sanctuary. It was a
residence and art studio before. The
approximate grand opening date is Fall
2015. It will be more spacious,
accommodate more people, be more
conveniently located and it will be so
good. You can “like” CornerStone
International House of Prayer on
Facebook to see updates. The only
problem is, we won’t be in our old
prayer room which I love and have gone
to for 10 years. Hours and hours a week
for ten years. So, change. It’s good. And
hard. And it brings out all sorts of stuff.
Change must be contagious because it seems like it’s all over the place. The jail ministry is
changing a little, maybe growing is a better word, or trying to grow (which is harder than it
seems:). We discussed our hopes and dreams for jail ministry and we realized that we do not
have the resources to disciple each lady who says “yes” to Jesus in the jail—there are many!
We long for them to walk out their faith as they are released. We have come up with these
after-jail goals for those who contact us when they get out of jail:
To help connect them to a body of believers
To facilitate that connection by introducing them personally to someone in that body
To increase the number of people who will be contacts for these ladies in local bodies of
believers. (please email or call me if you want to be on our jail team—[email protected],
859-858-4578)
We are doing casual lunches on Mondays with a few of the ladies when they are available.
We still do church at jail on Thursday’s at 7pm and we really value your prayers and support.
I am changing, too—from part-time to professional/student status (10 hours a week in the
prayer room) at CI-HOP. I am pursuing full-time employment (Frito-Lay and I are working on
a good fit for me–I appreciate your prayers for that.) God has so graciously supplied for me all
these years and I am so grateful (what an adventure in learning to trust Him-heart wrenching
sometimes –How do the birds do it? Don’t worry -Matthew 6:26:). I have felt His approval to
raise funds for jail outreach such as Bibles, study supplies, lunches, etc. I am so grateful to you
for supporting me in all different ways. I have learned and grown so much and I love Jesus so
much, even more than when I started. That is my main goal; to love Him more and more and on
my last day on this earth be more in love with Him than ever before. I am excited to practice
what I have learned in the prayer room “out there”, to love Jesus and people in day-to-day stuff,
to encourage and be a blessing at CI-HOP and wherever the chips are down :)
May God bless us as we don't give up,
even during change :)

In 2014 I was doing the math (I know that is shocking) and here
are some numbers I came up with –approximately...
250+ Bibles given (about 5 Bibles/wk at jail)
49 Jail church services (sometimes the jail is
over-crowded so church gets canceled)
96+ Hours of prayer for the lost
96+ Hours of prayer for our city & region
96+ Hours of prayer for our missionaries
& others
2835+ Hours our prayer room was open
35+ Missionaries prayed for & encouraged :)
355 Humorously cheesy things said (at least)
362 Days of not giving up… (a couple days
were just hanging in there:)
