Teri and I are back in prison Saturday! As usual, we will be ministering from about 8 to 5, feeding the men and their wives breakfast, lunch, and snacks as well as support and spiritual nourishment. It usually runs $700 to $1000 for the food. We also provide handouts and materials for the day and gift bags for the women and books for the men. Your help is deeply appreciated and even small amounts add up!

It was a joint venture with Woodlands Church and the cards were handmade by seniors under the direction of Lin Hagedorn. The women were deeply touched and hugely grateful for being remembered and blessed.
