Christian Missionary Opportunities Jan 2012

 

JAIL-MAIL from Chaplain Tom                     January 8, 2012

 

 

There's a

"FOREIGN" MISSION FIELD

within driving distance!

CURRENT NEEDS &

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Bible Lesson Graders

Every Tuesday, 7 - 9 PM, our Graders meet at Redeemer Fellowship Church, 1125 Oak Street, in St. Charles, to grade Bible Lessons completed by inmates. We have Grading Keys & training available!  It's great fellowship around the Word!  12-years & older. Those under 18 must be accompanied by a parent.

 

 

Literature Distributors

 

In the NRC Unit of Stateville Prison (Joliet), the inmates have no programs, no TV, no radios, no nothing, EXCEPT the literature we take them! You can join us as a "Limited Volunteer," once every three months, on a Saturday, 8 - Noon.  We visit the men cell-by-cell.  You must bring your own literature.  18 & older, no felony record.

 

 

"MOVIE NIGHTS"

at the

YOUTH CENTER

Every 1st Thursday of every month, 6 - 8 PM, we show Christian movies to the teen boys at the IYC in St. Charles.  You could come along, help provide snacks, share a word of testimony! Must be 18 or older, no felony record

Bible Study 

Co-Leaders

Chaplain Tom needs a partner in the DuPage County Jail (Wheaton),  on Fridays, 2 - 3:30 PM, , and in the IL Youth Center (St. Charles), on Thursdays, 1 - 2:30 PM.

We're following a curriculum, but not strictly.  Sometimes we show a video.  Must be 18-years or older, no felony record, with your Pastor's recommendation.

 

 

2-Day Seminar 

Co-Leaders

 

In 2 days (usually a Mon-Tue), we present our "Dads' Classes" in the 25 men's state prisons across Illinois (at their invitation!).  We pay our own expenses (travel, motel, some meals), usually as part of a team of 6.  Must be a Christian Dad, 18 or older, no felony record, with your Pastor's recommendation.

 

 

 

ANNUAL

BANQUET PLANNERS

Our only fund-raising event.  I need help organizing, recruiting Table Captains (to invite other guests), Table Sponsors (to underwrite the banquet costs), decorating, and perhaps conducting a "silent auction."

 

Book Cart

Chaplains

In the Kendall County Jail (Yorkville), on Tuesdays, 9 - 11 AM, and in the Kane County Jail (varied times), we take a Book Cart, loaded with Bibles, Christian books and literature,BibleLessons,tractsdevotionals. We also offer them  and 1-on-1 counseling. Must be 18-years or older, no felony record, with your Pastor's recommendation.

 

 

"DADS' CLASS"

Co-Leaders

 

Our 10 "Dads' Classes" are presented one per week, in Stateville Prison (Mondays 11 - 1, & Wednesdays 9 - 11); in the Kendall County Jail (Tuesdays 1:30 - 3 PM); and in the Kane County Jail (Fridays 7 - 9 PM).  Must be a Christian Dad, 18 or older, no felony record, with your Pastor's recommendation.

 

 

 

PRAYER TEAMS

ORGANIZER

 

I dream of organized Prayer Teams in various local churches, assaulting the gates of hell, "opening more doors" into more jails & prisons, opening more hearts of more volunteers, and opening more inmates' hearts to the life-changing Gospel!

If God would lead you to financially support the New Life Corrections Ministry, a convenient, secure way to donate is through the Wayside Cross Ministries website -
