Worship at Spring Creek
God is richly blessing our prison ministry as we conduct a weekly worship service at Spring Creek Correctional Center in Seward. There are currently five men there that have surrendered their lives to God through baptism.
Our brother Jessie Killgore makes the three-hour drive to Seward on the 1st, 3rd, and 4th Sundays of every month to take God's Word to the inmates that want to hear God's message. For our five brothers who reside at Spring Creek it is an oppurtunity to worship according to the New Testament pattern and to fellowship with one another and the person who goes into their world to further teach them.
Dave Olson goes in on the 2nd Sunday. Please pray for Jessie and for Dave as they continue this work.
Anch. Jail East Bible Study
Every Monday morning Dave Olson, our prison minister, conducts a Bible study at the Anchorage Jail. About twenty men attend this class each week. Dave uses the NewLife Behavior curriculum, which has many courses, each course having 13 lessons. After each class, the students take the lessons and answer the questions, bringing them back the following week for grading.
If you would be interested in learning to assist Dave in this worthwhile work, contact him at the church office at 272-7584.
