Focus On Missions

There are several libraries at the MS State Penitentiary. Several of those are organized and staffed by Christian inmates that are members of the local prison churches.

One of the libraries is affiliated with the NOBTS (New Orleans Baptist Seminary) and FBI (Faith Based Initiative). The work these organizations are doing is phenomenal!

We were able to take several boxes of books from the library of First Baptist Church of Arnold. Those books that are duplicates in the seminary library will be shared with the other libraries at the prison.

We were excited, the prison librarians excited and FBCA librarians excited to share books.

I think we need to start being more serious about the “library ministry” … we will have several more prison trips this year and this can give others the opportunity to help.

3 days down and 1 to go at Parchman. Have seen, visited with, helped with vision, prayed with, given Gospel literature to and told about Jesus to 600+ inmates.

Our team of 10 folks from the “free world” and 20 inmates have worked hard these past three days. These men have shared their stories with us about their life in Christ. It has been our joy to work alongside of them!

Hoping to reach over 1000 inmates tomorrow! Thank you to EVERYONE who has donated glasses, Bibles and helped support our team! Thank you to those who continue to pray!
