This Seminar is not on Jail Security. This training is not required in order to volunteer in the Jails, but is aimed at helping us be better-equipped to MINISTER as ambassadors for Christ.

KENDALL COUNTY JAIL
TAKES A GIANT STEP!


After some years of having very little volunteer activity (resulting from having some "bad apple" volunteers abusing their privileges), this month, the Kendall County Jail is accepting volunteer applications for a number of new programs.

Kendall County Public Safety Center
1102 Cornell Lane, Yorkville IL 60560

WEEKLY WORSHIP SERVICES are planned for all inmates to be able to attend every week, to be held on Saturdays & Sundays. VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

VOLUNTEER CHAPLAINS to take a Book Cart to all inmates, every week, providing Bibles, Christian books, Bible Lessons, literature, & prayer. These Volunteer Chaplains can also provide Pastoral Counseling upon request. VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

WEEKLY CHRISTIAN PARENTING CLASSES for men ("Malachi Dads") & women ("Heart's Song"). VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

CHRISTIANS! This is a fantastic opportunity! And with opportunity comes responsibility. God is giving an opportunity and the responsibility to make a huge difference in the lives of our neighbors!

"A different world cannot be built by indifferent people." (Nelson Mandela)

If you are interested, please step up to be involved! If you cannot be personally involved, please be praying! "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest that He would send out laborers into His harvest."

Volunteer Applications will be accepted this month, and all who's applications are approved will be required to attend Jail Volunteer Security Training to be scheduled in April. For a volunteer application, please email Chaplain Tom at
tbeatty@waysidecross.org.

PLEASE HELP us get the word out! Please forward this to all who may possibly be interested in volunteering in the Kendall County Jail! VOLUNTEERS NEEDED NOW!
