NEW LIFE JAIL MINISTRY IN ACTION

March 8, 2010

Every year during the month of March, the Oconee County Jail allows New Life Church to do a prison service on each Saturday from 9:00am to 10:00am. We are excited about this year’s events and I believe the Lord has brought about a great prison ministry team: Scott Strawn, Steve Russell, Ashley Vaughn, Chris Greenwood, Zach Hammond, Blake Miller, and Mercer Cox. There will be others involved throughout the coming days. Thanks to Oconee Baptist Church and their pastor Steve Powers as well as the Oconee Sheriff’s Department for extending this invitation to minister to the prisoners.

This past Saturday, Mercer Cox, Scott Strawn, Steve Russell, and Chris Greenwood went in for an hour and ministered to the hurting and desperate souls in the jail. There were a total of five this past Saturday. The prospects are good for God to do great things in our county facility as the people of New Life Church are fasting and praying throughout the month for souls to be reached and won to Christ. The picture to the left shows the jail ministry team of New Life for this past Saturday’s activities. (Pictured from  left to right: Steve Russell, Scott Strawn, Chris Greenwood, and Mercer Cox)
