We'll usually car-pool to prison on the Sunday afternoon/evening before the seminar, and stay in a motel for two nights, returning on the Tuesday evening after the seminar.  We share the motel expenses - two men to a room - and the gas expense. We pay for our own meals. As a "co-leader," you'll be expected to facilitate small-group discussions with the inmates between the classes.  

 

 

ROAD TEAM

men are

MAKING A DIFFERENCE!

Really!

Click here to

read a letter from an inmate!

 

Our first "Road Team" adventure consisted of four of us going to the Robinson Correctional Center (prison) in Robinson, Illinois, in April, 2011.

OUR FIRST "ROAD TEAM"

       Brian Polencheck       Dave Haidle       Chaplain Tom        George King

We presented our first "Dads' Classes" in a 2-Day Seminar format to 60 eager inmates. 

 

SINCE THEN, OUR "ROAD TEAMS" HAVE BEEN TO 14 MORE PRISONS!

 

WE HAVE 13 MORE ALREADY SCHEDULED!

WITH MORE TO COME!

 

SEEKING ADDITIONAL

"ROAD TEAM" MEMBERS

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.

George King:  "I found that the time we spent together was very enjoyable and rewarding.   What was accomplished more than achieved all of our expectations.   It was the perfect way to reach out and I felt we really touched the lives of the men.  In fact they asked if we are coming  back and said they would spread the word how helpful we were to them."  (Note: We've been invited back to Robinson twice since then.)

 

 

Please email Chaplain Tom to sign up! tbeatty@waysidecross.org

 

Dave Haidle:  "The majority of men in prison are fathers and contrary to what many might think, these men are eager to be good fathers to their children.  Our communities can only benefit from these men becoming better fathers.  I can't think of a better investment of time than to be teaching eager men about God's perspective on fathering. It is challenging, humbling and rewarding;  plus you get to know other brothers in Christ on a deeper level as you soldier together."

 

We have small-group discussions between the classes, and with 60 or 80 inmates and 4 volunteers, leads to "small groups" of 15 - 20!  We need some more volunteers!  

Brian Polencheck:  "I think I believed that most of the inmates would be there as a way to have this look good on their record.  What I found was that the majority really wanted to learn how to be a good fathers and men. I could see the hurt in many of their eyes and voices because of not having those relationships with their children and wives. I believe many really had no idea how to fix the hurt and pain they had or inflicted on those they cared about. I also discovered, after experiencing the small group sessions, how many of these men had no father or male role models and the ones they had were quite the opposite of good role models. I wondered how I would have turned out if I would have experienced the same as them.   I realized I could be in their place."

Please email Chaplain Tom - tbeatty@waysidecross.org - for more information or to sign-up!

We need additional men for our "Road Teams!"

 

 

PLEASE PRAY that more prisons will welcome us to do our Dads' Classes as a 2-Day Seminar.  

 

PLEASE PRAY that God works in the hearts of the inmates & staff, that the Gospel is clearly heard & that many men receive Jesus Christ as their Savior & Lord.

 

Kym, one last item:  PLEASE PRAY about supporting the New Life Corrections Ministry financially.  We're really in need of monthly contributors.  If you could make a donation, perhaps the easiest way is to click here.  Please designate for New Life Corrections.  THANK YOU!

Greetings

A Headline Prayer of Praise; SOCPM was blessed with an anonymous gift recently was of a significant amount. Do not know if the giver is a recipient of the SOCPM Prayer Request but a bottom of the heart Thank you!

 

Michelle and I both re ever so thankful for all of you.  


The writer of Psalm 136:1 expresses praise and thanks to our loving God with the words "Give thanks to the Lord for his steadfast love endures forever." 

 

Paul writes to Timothy in 1 Timothy 1:12 "I thank him who has given me strength, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful, appointing me to his service."

 

I personally echo the words of Psalm 136:1 in thanks for his provision of love and support through you and raise a prayer of thanks for going me strength and that I remain faithful in my service of stewarding the ministry he has called me to serve him.

 

To Him be the glory.

 

Scott
