WASHING MACHINE AND DRYER………. NEED MET !!!!!! April 18, 2011

Last month I brought attention to the fact that we had need for a washing machine and a dryer for one of our families. It is with great joy that I report back to you that this need was graciously met by some of our contributors that had very good used equipment that they were able to donate for this need.

Thank you,

John W.

This is a link to a great video I was introduced to this afternoon. It tells a great story, there are so many good men and women wasting their lives…… not all of them are in jail.

Christian Literature Drive

bchains — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 12:38:39 +0000

Dennis and I are wanting to get more Christian literature into the hands of the inmates here in the Summit County Jail. Due to the layoffs, the inmates have been spending a lot of time in lock down mode, which leaves a lot of time that needs to be spent wisely.
We are asking that if you have books in your library that you would be willing to donate that are in good shape we would love to take them off of your hands and get them into circulation.
We also receive a lot of requests for study Bibles, remember there can be no metal, so that rules out zippered Bibles and most chapter tabs.

If you would be interested in giving books, please contact me by email and we will make arrangements to pick them up. Remember, material gifts are tax deductible, and will be receipted upon request.

A thought: most folks buy a book and read it once, and then it sits on your shelf for a thousand years until you die and then your family throws them away , or something like that. If you buy a book read it and then donate it to the jail, it may get read a couple hundred times or more, really. I am not kidding. We have some folks that are ravenous when it comes to good books.

Thanks so much,

Chaplain John Wiseman

Prayer Request

bchains — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 03:01:33 +0000

Dennis and I are asking for your prayers in regard to developing our post release ministry. We, for years have desired to have a campus for men and women coming out of jail and prison. We don’t know what that may look like, or when or where that will be, but we are burdened to do this.

Please continue to pray to the Lord of the Harvest asking for wisdom, finances and laborers to do the work that He has called us to.

We have always believed that God’s work, done God’s way, will never lack God’s provision.

Thank you.

Chaplain John Wiseman
