Chaplain's Corner




Matthew 25:36, "...I was in prison and you came to me."

We have seen many changes since I came aboard in December of 2008. We have conducted two revival services; one at the Welch Facility, and one at the Stevens Facility. Twenty-Five (25) men have given their hearts to the Lord Jesus Christ over the last two years. We have also conducted three Water Baptisms; one at the Welch Facility in August 2009, and two at the Stevens Facility.  A total of twenty-two men have been baptized. We also want to thank the following Local Ministers for coming into the facilities to help spread the Gospel Message:
Steve Acord, Danny Anderson, Jack Bolden, David Rudolph,  Vickie Cox, Howard England, Bubby Falvo, William Harman, Omar & Ella Helm, Tommy Helmandollar, Jute Sizemore, Evan Webb.

Finally, I want to say 'Kudos' to ALL staff members who work at both facilities. You deserve a big applause for the teriffic work that you do!

Until next time,

Sincerly, Chaplain Dan Pruitt
