Greetings All, well after a week of snow canceling one gathering and a long weekend getaway with my wife Michelle it was a blessing to be back in both Dixon and Sheridan.
Several praises; The Dixon Renewing Fatherhood class graduated this past Wednesday and though a joy to see the men complete the class it is bittersweet in saying good-bye. I ask that you as the Lord prompts you to keep them in your prayers. I keep track of their parole and discharge dates and will through future prayer requests e-mails make you aware of when those dates come so you can lift them in prayer. SOCPM is blessed that God has put in the hearts of Dixon's Assistant Warden of Programs to bring back Renewing Fatherhood for a second session and to also present as a new class Discipleship 101. SOCPOM is also blessed in God putting into the hearts of staff at Sheridan to bring back another session of Renewing Fatherhood and to continue to the second module of Discipleship 101.
Speaking of prayers on behalf of men being paroled the following men are paroled or will be in the upcoming week.
Parolees
Julian - A student in the Sheridan Renewing Fatherhood class was paroled January 20th.
Arsenio - A student in the Sheridan Renewing Fatherhood class was paroled February 3rd.

Transferees
Andre - A student in Dixon Renewing Fatherhood was transferred to a East Moline Correctional Center
Jacob - A student in last years Malachi Dads class was transferred to Lawrence Correctional Center
Please lift these men in prayer that their transitions in their lives will be God glorifying.
