 Volunteers of S.T.P.O. have a church service with the men and then the woman at every Sunday morning. It allows the opportunity to share the love of Jesus with people who are incarcerated and often at a very low point in life. Inmates come seeking direction and answers in life. That allows volunteers to share God's word and testimonies of how great God is and how much God wants a personal relationship with each of them individually through his son Jesus Christ.  It is a blessing for the volunteers to have the opportunity to work with the men and woman at Matagorda County Jail. Our purpose is to give "Jesus" to the inmates, but we often receive as much as we give. The schedule we have at the jail today is very different from what we had before. Before, the women met with the women inmates every Tuesday. The men met with half of the men every Wednesday and the other half of the men on Thursday's. Sometimes the teams were even allowed to go to the back and visit with inmates who were in solitary confinement. Now, because of new regulations and different administration, that doesn't happen any more. There have been many changes over the last couple of years with rules and regulations at our county jail. We are happy to be able to be part of the inmates lives in sharing the gospel and are willing to take any time we can get with them. Please help S.T.P.O. pray that God will continue to open doors for us. Remember, it is our purpose to take the word of God to the inmates. Only God can do for these men and woman what they need most.  |
