Marinette & Menominee Jail Outreach Inc.
Every Monday night (rain or shine) our members conduct visits at both the Marinette and Menominee jails. Our active members number 32. Our purpose is to help them to understand that they, like all of us, are in need of a Savior. We bring hope to those who seek a better life through the teachings of the Bible. The basic process is to help them to realize that they are in need of a new belief system (Cognitive Thinking Course), that will enable them to make better choices in the future. Then, through our personal visits we take them into the Bible and teach them a belief system based on God's love for us. Thus, through God's Holy Spirit, many inmates have accepted Jesus as their Savior and been transformed to a new life in Christ. In 2013 alone, we witnessed 30 inmates come to Christ. It doesn't stop there, when released they are encouraged to attend our weekly support group meetings where they can be mentored and continue to grow spiritually.
Also, over the recent holidays, the Jail Outreach was able to distribute gifts to the children of incarcerated parents. Gifts were provided to over 40 children from 20 families. Gifts were distributed as far north as Ishpeming and as far south as Rockford Illinois. As you can see the Jail Outreach has had a busy and productive year. The Lord has and will continue to bless this most important work. If you wish to get involved, you can volunteer by becoming a member, by contributing financially ( totally privately funded), or by praying for the further success of this life transforming work.
