Saints Head to Pittsfield WC and Jacksonville CC This Weekend!

This past weekend our Saints Prison Ministry Federal team visited FCI Oakdale in Oakdale, Louisiana.  

I also spent time in five different airports but that's beside the point!...

I will be writing a couple of FCI Oakdale posts in the coming days but to summarize, we saw three different populations over the weekend.  We handed out several hundred Gospels of John and saw several men make a profession of faith!







I am looking forward to writing more about this trip (and perhaps a little about airports, delayed flights, and rental cars!) but, no time for that now, because we are on to our next weekend of prison ministry!

This weekend our Illinois softball team is visiting two different prisons.  We will start the day at the Pittsfield Work Camp.  

At Pittsfield, Nick Munao will be sharing his testimony and Brent Gerber will be sharing the Gospel.  

Then we will travel to Jacksonville CC for an afternoon of more softball and Gospel sharing time.  

At Jacksonville, Kris Mettelmann will be sharing his testimony and Kyle Krall will be sharing the Gospel.  

Please pray for our speakers and our team as we minister throughout the day.  

This will be our last Illinois game of the year.  We will have some time to reminisce about our season on the way home but a couple of us will shift right back into travel and ministry mode as we will head back to Louisiana for another trip to a different prison!  

This has been a wild ending to our season but I'm thankful for how the Lord has provided all year long!  

Thank you again for all of the prayer and encouragement this year!
