NEXT OUTREACH: SOUTH BEND WORK RELEASE- "CONCERT IN THE COURT YARD"


We are excited about the upcoming outreach concert at South Bend Work Release! You could say that I am overjoyed at the opportunity the Lord has granted us. And with the potential of one hundred and fifty inmates occupying this facility, we have an incredible harvest field!! ..We praise God for this door He has opened! 

The way the work release works is, the program allows a prisoner who is sufficiently trusted or can be sufficiently monitored to leave the jail to continue working at his place of employment, then returning to prison when his shift is complete. These men are all close to re-entering society. So not only are we are excited of the opportunity to meet these guys to talk and minister to them now,  but we also desire to connect with them as they leave and transition back into society; since most of these guys are local this event gives us a great opportunity to do this. 

And please know this, this event is not just a feel good social event where we just smile at these men and give them a token, “God bless you.” …No, we plan on being prayed up! Filled up! And fired up for JESUS!.. Amen. We will be sharing the LORD JESUS through song, in testimonies, in one on one times as we engage with the men, and through preaching. All for God’s glory-to see God bring revival to these men and this facility, to witness Jesus impact these men’s eternal destiny from eternal destruction to eternal salvation with the risen Christ!! Amen!

By the way, we are thrilled to have the band “Out Of The Dust” ministering with us. These men have a heart for ministry and a passion to share Jesus and see Him impact and change lives! Plus they have some awesome gifts and talents with music. So it is an honor to have them with us. Amen!

The other absolutely neat thing about this event is we are allowed to represent servant- hood to these men as the facility is allowing us to bring our grill, tables, and chairs into the courtyard to prepare and serve an outreach meal for the men. We will be  showing love in action as we serve the guys and slip up beside them as they eat to talk and fellowship with them….It’s going to be awesome!.. Please be praying for this event. Please pray about being part of it.
