Ministry Update
It is great to travel around and serve with Teammates all over the country. It is great to see Local Teams being formed and churches getting involved. If you would like to serve on one of our Local Teams go to behindthewalls.com/lt.
I want to tell you about a church that took on the PRAYER COACH role at our Nashville, TN DOC. Here is what they posted for all the church:
“Will you join us in praying for the Nashville Day of Champions this Friday, August 9th? 15 minute time slots begin at 7am and end at 3pm, covering the duration of the event.”
Thank you Community Baptist Church for praying and sending two pastors and four other members to serve. Also a big thank you to Bellevue Baptist for hosting our E&I, feeding us, and participating on the DOC. Pastor Drew and a crew from Bellevue represented on the DOC too. I thank the Lord for His Church.
Upcoming Events: Over the next five months, we have events in nine states. There is bound to be one near you or near someone you know who needs to go with us behind the walls. I have never met a Teammate who heard about us and decided to come on an event on their own. Everyone I know was invited by a friend or family member. That could, and should, be you. Which event are you bringing someone to? Click here for the event calendar. You know they will be blessed!
Our Gift to You: As mentioned in previous newsletters, we have partnered with FreeWill.com to offer you, our beloved Teammates, free wills, trusts, and Power of Attorneys. There is no cost to you. It is our gift to you for supporting and serving with us. Go to our website and under Ways to Give, go to Ways to Give Later to begin the process. We hope this will be of value to you!
Other Ways to Give: One of the other functions that our agreement with FreeWill.com facilitates is the ability to accept non-liquid donations. FreeWill.com provides a smooth mechanism for you to give stocks and bonds, crypto, real estate, and many other things. Any gift given to this ministry leads to the sharing and hearing (and accepting!) the Gospel! Check out the options here.
Site Coordinators: If you have ever been on an event, the leaders on the yards are our Site Coordinators. As we continue to grow, we are going to need more of them! If you are interested in becoming one of our “field generals”, let us know by
filling out this form. To be considered, you need to have participated in a minimum of 5 events and it helps to have the recommendation of one of our current Site Coordinators or a member of the Local Team.
Training Inmates to Share the Gospel
Beginning with the Adrian-Ypsilanti, MI Day of Champions, we have officially incorporated training and documenting those believing inmates we train on our events. . I am very excited about this! Not only do we let the chaplain know who has made life changing decisions, we also tell them who is equipped to introduce other inmates to the life transforming, hope unlocking love of Jesus Christ. We are assisting the behind the walls part of the church!
