Second Time is Just as Sweet

by Shane Gibson, Empire State Crusade team

This was my second Crusade with The Saints Prison Ministry. My main takeaway from this came from talking to some of the men who were so grateful to have been getting birthday cards and other letters from this ministry – some even getting them for 12+ years. Some said that was the only contact with anyone from the “outside” who even noticed them. It was a very sobering feeling to see how these inmates view what this ministry does, and how it helps them survive the conditions that they deal with every day.

Personally, I look forward to these trips. Working with this ministry and interacting with the guys that are on the prison team has been a great experience. I look forward to the next time we can set up another trip with The Saints.

Two crusades the same week! We’ve had Saturdays with more than one team in the field at the same time, but it is rare when two teams are on crusade at the same time.

March 5-10, a softball team from Fayetteville First Baptist Church (GA) is working with the Saints Prison Ministry under our new Church-Crusade Partnership model to visit 6 prisons in Central Florida.

March 7-10, our NJ Basketball team is going to be visiting 6 prisons in New York in just 4 days – an exhausting undertaking to be sure!

Please be in prayer all week for this men as they take the Gospel to this disenfranchised population and shine the Light into a very dark world!
