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

 

 

Praise 

For the aforementioned gift!

 

Renewing Fatherhood & Discipleship 101 classes are underway at Dixon Correctional Center.

 

Recognized a group of men at East Moline Correctional Center on July 3 and another thirty men at Danville Correctional Center on July 10 for completing New Life Correction's Transforming Incarcerated Dads seminar. 

 

God's provision allowing me to be a volunteer for New Life Corrections  in the teaching of the Transforming Incarcerated Dads class.

 Request

  

Stewardship of God's provisions

 

Guidance from the Holy Spirit in  choosing  a curriculum that would not be cost prohibitive in the areas of; how to interpretation/study the Bible, have a confident and fruitful prayer life , how to share your Christian faith and a sanctifying daily devotional. 

 

Discernment in deciding whether to change the current curriculum of Discipleship  101 with the above curriculum or developing a third class Factors we will be discerning  class scheduling , who to make the class available to.

 

Sheridan continues to have major changes with the recent and unexpected resignation of their warden who is a servant of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Pray that the person that is chosen to replace him will be also be a servant of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Despite the gracious gift, please pray for God's provisions in additional monthly giving to allow continued serving in current capacity, the purchase of future curriculums and the paying myself a small salary to supplement Michelle's and my household expense. 

  

 Significant progress has been made towards the completion of the home page for SOCPM's  new website and appeal pack. Pray for completion by September 1st .
