This week sees 2 paroles and one discharges.   Please be certain to life these men in prayer as they continue to hopefully in Christ and take on new challenges. For those being paroled they face the challenge of finding a home church, mentor, employment, family reconciliation and much more. Some examples of their challenges are finding a means to purchase medications without insurance, looking for employment a full-time task challenging in itself but even more so if your electronic monitoring limits you to be away from your home for only four hours.   It does not take long for the joy of being free to become days filled with stress, frustrations and temptations. Please be certain to lift them in prayer.   For those being discharged give praise to God that they have successfully completed parole. Though there is no assurance they have not reoffended and not just been caught give praise for what is apparent and that they 'truly' are walking as soldiers of Christ.   Glory to Him and Him alone.    Scott   Dixon Correctional Center Discipleship 101   Scott - Pray for my mother's good health and good with paying her bills, also pray for my sister.   Kelly - Pray that God would place me under the teachers and tutors are being by him that I may be mature in Christ come to my inheritance according to Galatians 4:1 - 7. I serve him, not because I have to, it's because I can't help myself. He is an awesome God! Pray also for restoration to my health, family and ministry. Thank you prayer warriors!   Ronnie - Keep in prayer those students who want to be a part of the class but they have other obligations that keep them away.     Dixon Correctional Center Renewing Fatherhood   No prayer requests submitted     Sheridan Correctional Center Discipleship 104 New class begins October 12, 2012      Sheridan Correctional Center Renewing Fatherhood New class begins October 12, 2012     Kendall County Jail Pastoral Visits   No pastoral visits     SOCPM Student Alumni Paroles Jacob - Sheridan Correctional Center Malachi Dads graduate Oct. 2010 - Aug. 2011 Scheduled for parole October 12, 2012   Abel - Vienna Correctional Center Transforming Incarcerated Dads graduate Feb. 13- 14, 2012 Scheduled for parole October 12, 2012   SOCPM Student Alumni Discharged   James - Sheridan Correctional Center Life Institute graduate  Aug. 2009 - July 2010 Paroled Oct. 8, 2010 Scheduled for discharge Oct. 8, 2012
