Most Important Prayer Request: Please pray that these Ladies search, study the Bible, and pray and find the Lord while in jail. Pray that when they are released they will take the Lord with them as they readjust to life in the outside world.
Each Sunday morning there are 2 ladies who visit the lady inmates at Dale County Jail and conduct a regular church service of singing and Bible study. The ministry is made up of volunteers from different churches and the inmates come on their free will.
Their privacy is respected at all times with no questions asked. Usually there are 10+ women in each session.
On Monday at 8 pm a Bible study is held covering different books of the Bible. They are allowed to speak about anything in total confidence. The volunteers help them by calling family & friends, writing letters, etc. These volunteers are trying to help them start over with God’s help.
DONATIONS NEEDED:
- Paperback Bibles and devotionals
- Christian magazines and books
- Reading glasses
- Notebook paper, envelopes and stamps
