Prison Ministry

Think about how many stories in the Bible involve a prison or a jail. The word "prison" actually occurs 77 times throughout the Bible. Recently, we have had the opportunity to minister at one of our state prisons, the Macomb Correctional Facility. The prison sits on a 100-acre site and contains security levels I, II, and IV.

Our son-in-law, Tommy Sheerer, is the chaplain there and has developed a strong church within the prison. There are 4 services every Sunday with the prisoners themselves leading the worship. Each service has about 50 prisoners who come in search of a loving and forgiving God. It has been a joy and pleasure to minister to these men. Please join us along with Chaplain Sheerer in prayer for revival in the prison.
