Bible Verse
Blessed is she who believed that the Lord would fulfill His promises to her. Luke 1:45
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Each quarter we highlight a ministry or need in our community to support through “9 to 5 for Christ”.
This quarter we will would like to supply a bible study for a small group of ladies at the Central California Women’s Facility in Chowchilla State Prison.
For several years we sent bible studies into the Chowchilla Prison. This is a testimony from one of our friends that we visited during those years.
“I am excited to write about how the Bible Studies, with the DVDs, were life-changing. I personally got to see the girls get transformed and redeemed by the Bible study, even hardcore criminals’ expressions changed. Jesus gave them new hearts. I was a facilitator for five years so I saw hundreds of women changed. I can still see their faces!!!” By Suzy Mellen.
We have not been able to get new materials into the prison due to covid lockdowns but now we have an opportunity to transform lives through God’s Word once again. Will you consider partnering with us in purchasing a T.V. (with video player) the videos for the Bible Study and 20 workbooks.
“Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison…as if you yourselves were suffering” Heb.13:3
