Will you please post this at church? At work?

JAIL-MAIL from Chaplain Tom May 30, 2012 New Life Corrections Ministry Wayside Cross Ministries 215 East New York Street Aurora IL 60505  tbeatty@waysidecross.org MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF INMATES AND INMATE FAMILIES! Inmates are coming to the "Dads' Classes" who would NEVER come to a Bible Study or a church service.  They come even when the "Dads' Classes" are advertised as BIBLE-BASED & CHRIST-CENTERED.  These men don't want their kids to follow in their footsteps!  Many of these men are hearing the Gospel for the first time in their lives!   There's no subject that motivates men more than FATHERHOOD! No inmate wants his kids to follow him to jail! Our DADS' CLASSES are presented in a weekly format in the Kane, DuPage, Kendall & McHenry County Jails, in Stateville Prison, in the Illinois Youth Center in St. Charles, and at Wayside Cross in Aurora. 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. We also present the DADS' CLASSES as a 2-Day Seminar in the rest of Illinois' 25 men's State Prisons.   WE NEED MORE DADS TO CO-LEAD CLASSES!
