Hello everyone!I am a new subscriber and I really enjoy this site.Just a little background for you.I accepted the Lord on Sept. 20th 2005.I currently attend church at Calvary Chapel Russell(Pa.).I love my church and I feel that I am growing in the Lord with leaps and bounds.The Lord has truly blessed me in many ways and my life is so much better,in every aspect,than it ever was.I have a call on my life to create a ministry in my home county to help ex offenders coming out of jail.In this county there is nothing in place to help saved inmates coming out of jail.They have no options other than to go back to the life they had before they got saved.I want to create a ministry to help these people adjust to life in the Lord.I think we can help these guys in many ways,we can provide them with a place to get them away from the old friends,family and behaviors that got them into trouble.These guys need to be taught how to have discipline in their lives to do daily devotionals,fellowship with other members of the body of Christ.They will need help in finding a church home,being held accountable and living a life in Christ.These guys are baby christians and need help and mentoring.The problem around here is that they come out of jail and noone wants to help them...you would think they were lepers or something.Anyhow long story short,the Lord has placed this on my heart and I know he will see it to completion.I am hoping I can serve God and be of some help to these forgotten ones.I am open to any and all advice I can get on this as well as any input people may have on how we can help these guys.Thank you in advance for your input and God Bless.Please pray for a move of God in this ministry because without God it will not happen!
