Progress in Kendall County!
Yes, after years of praying, we're seeing God open the doors to the Kendall County Jail in Yorkville! They've been "almost closed" to volunteers for some years after some negative experiences with volunteers & contraband.
Chaplain Tom had a good meeting with Jail Commander Sabrina Jennings (she requested the meeting!), to begin plans to bring in the Dads' Classes - to start in late February? The Commander said they will also welcome Bibles, Bible Lessons, and Christian books, and make make arrangements for us to show DVDs. Now, we're not "in" yet, so please continue praying! Please pray God will raise up 4 volunteers to go with Chaplain Tom, PROBABLY on Wednesday afternoons. Interested? Contact mailto:tbeatty@waysidecross.org
Kane Co. Jail "Dads" Volunteers Needed!
The Kane County Jail is accepting volunteer applications NOW. This will be the only time this year that applications will be accepted. The Dads' Classes are held on Fridays, from 7 - 9:15 PM. You'll join existing volunteer teams, co-leading the classes. For an application: mailto:tbeatty@waysidecross.org
Illinois Youth Center in Saint Charles
For about three years now, we've conducted a weekly Bible Study for all the "newbies" at the Center.. The "Leisure Time Activities" Department at the center has requested we have a monthly, Friday evening "Video Time" for the residents (teen-aged boys). Of course, we'd like to present Bible-centered videos. Do you know of a source of videos, preferably donated? They'd need to be 30 - 60 minutes in length, DVD preferred. We also need volunteers for this. Can you please help? Please contact mailto:tbeatty@waysidecross.org. (Warning: The application process for this is tedious!) Please pray we can meet this need, and take advantage of this opportunity!
