Dads Needed at Stateville, March 19 & 20, AND MORE!

 

Men Needed for our "Road Teams" "Go into all the world and preach the Gospel!"                                                                    - Mark 16:15 February 20, 2012 New Life Corrections Ministry Wayside Cross Ministries 215 East New York Street Aurora IL 60505  tbeatty@waysidecross.org COMING UP, March 19 & 20 - We're scheduled to present the "Dads' Classes" 2-Day Seminar in the Stateville Minimum Security Unit (MSU).  Right now, we have only  4 Dads involved (Chaplain Tom & 3 others).  We need more Dads! Class materials & training provided!     For those of us from Northern Illinois, the "Road Team" to Stateville MSU will be inexpensive, for we won't need to stay in motels.  It will be roughly 8 AM - 4 PM, both Monday & Tuesday, March 5 & 6. "Dads' Classes" are making a difference!   From an inmate:  "The last thing I wanted to hear was another person talking about God, or Jesus, or the Bible.  I went to your Dads' Class, and couldn't wait to go to my second one!  Then, unexpectedly, I was released.  Chaplain Tom, I need to go to the rest of the Dads' Classes!  And, I need to be born again, and do right by my family!"  (I directed him to the Dads' Classes we offer on Thursday evenings at Wayside Cross in Aurora.) "ROAD TEAMS" TAKE OUR "DADS' CLASSES" TO THE MEN IN THE ILLINOIS' PRISONS!   On our Dads' Classes "Road Teams," we present the same Dads' Classes we have weekly in many local County Jails, but we present them in a 2-Day Seminar.  We  visit Prisons, where weekly classes simply are not an option for us.  Our purpose is to: Bring the Gospel to the inmates in the context of fatherhood, Spark an interest in the men to become better Dads, break the  generational cycle of crime, reduce recidivism, and Spark an interest in the Prison Staff to welcome the year-long Malachi Dads' Program. "Road Team" members lead small-group discussions between the classes, and may lead classes (your choice).  We pay our own expenses (travel, motel & some meals).  Class materials & training are provided.    We also need Dads for these other dates!   OUR "ROAD TEAMS" SCHEDULE                             Apr. 2 - 3, Taylorville CC - NEED 2 MORE DADS!                             Apr. 16 - 17, Robinson CC - NEED 2 MORE DADS!                             May 7 - 8, Big Muddy River CC - NEED 4 MORE DADS!                             June 4 - 5, Menard MSU - NEED 4 MORE DADS!                             July 2 - 3, East Moline CC - NEED 4 MORE DADS!                             July 9 - 10, Danville CC - NEED 4 MORE DADS!                             August 6 - 7, Logan CC - NEED 4 MORE DADS!                             Sept. 10 - 11, Hill CC - NEED 4 MORE DADS!                             Oct. 9 - 10, Southwestern IL CC - NEED 4 MORE DADS!                             Nov. 5 - 6, Centralia CC - NEED 4 MORE DADS!                             Dec. 3 - 4, Pinckneyville CC - NEED 4 MORE DADS!                             Jan. 14 - 15, '13, IL River CC - NEED 4 MORE DADS!       THE "DADS' CLASSES" CLASS 1 DEFINING THE PROBLEM AN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE OF FATHERING GOD'S PLAN TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM PRIDE, HUMILITY & GRACE THE FEAR OF THE LORD RE-BUILDING TRUST   CLASS 4 HANDLING ANGER & MORE ANGER & CONFLICT RESOLUTION SELF-CONTROL ALCOHOL & DRUGS HANDLING STRESS   CLASS 7 FATHERING WHO IS THE PERFECT FATHER?
