PRISON & BASKETBALL

The Prison Ministry deals with taking the Word of God into several prisons in the surrounding area. We bring hope and comfort to the many men behind prison walls and fences. Through the Prison Ministry we try to show the men that there is another life beside the one they are so used to living. Being an ex-inmate, the Prison Ministry has been special to me because it has shown me from where I come from to what I could become. — Larry Hall

My ministry is a very exciting one. What the team does is play basketball in prisons, keeping our testimony and being an example to the unsaved players as well as ourselves. The Prison Ministry has taught me to en­ c ou r a g e those around me. It's really taught me that no matter if you're be­ hind bars or not. all people have to hear the Gospel. I've got­ ten to witness to a couple of guys; but most of all I've gotten to be their friend and they respect me and what I stand for. This ministry has helped me to share the Gos­ pel and be more open to people that need the Lord. — Tommy Homedo
