This report section highlights our progress in supporting inmates and their families. Below are the statistics we are tracking for the organization. If you would like to see any additional information, please let me know.
Additionally, you'll find a snapshot of a video conference, a direct message from social media, and text messages throughout the United States. We must continue our efforts to support the families of inmates. As mentioned, we are looking for someone to step into the role of The Intercessor—a dedicated Prayer Warrior with the gift of intercessory prayer. This individual would make a weekly phone call to the couples, providing them spiritual support through prayer. Please let me know if you know anyone interested in helping the wives who have husbands in jail. Your connections could make a significant difference in their lives. Thank you for your support and prayers as we work together in this vital mission.
A sister is requesting support for her brother, who is serving 25 years in a federal mental health prison in California. A brief overview is below. I have submitted my paperwork for video conferencing and in-person visits, and we plan to do both. Our goal is not to conduct Bible study, given the mental health conditions of the inmates; however, we are doing our best to share the gospel. Please pray for safe travels and for the right words to say. If anyone would like to join me on the trip to Sacramento, please let me know so we can complete the necessary paperwork together.
Below is a brief update on the individuals in the jail system who are being positively impacted through our outreach efforts via video conferences, emails, and in-person visits. It’s important for everyone to see the incredible work God is doing through CA Jail Outreach. Our mission focuses on helping others to find hope in the Lord and preparing them for a brighter future. We aim to equip them with the tools they need to grow and transform, and as they do so, they often extend that help to others in their communities. Thank you for your continued support and involvement in this vital work. Your contributions make a meaningful difference in many lives.
Another woman is seeking support as she navigates the difficult process of losing her husband to the jail system. We are assisting her as she faces the potential loss of her home, car, and even her ability to pay for necessities, leaving her without food. This situation is not uncommon, as often the husband controls all the finances, banking accounts, and bill payments. Regrettably, unpaid bills result from a bad habit on his part, and she bears no blame for this predicament. Although the circumstances are challenging, we have been able to help her by sending food through DoorDash and Instacart to Louisiana. It’s incredible how technology enables us to assist across state lines. She discovered our services through a Google search, and we were fortunate enough to be the top result. I’m truly thankful for the 10k monthly Google Ads Grant that has made this outreach possible. Thank you, Lord, for your guidance on the Grant money. Please keep her in your prayers during this tough time. Your support means a lot as we navigate these challenges together.
