Shalom beloved! God is a global God. He has always cared about the entire world. For God so love the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)

From the very beginning God has wanted a relationship with humanity, His creation from every nation. He hard-wired us to worship Him. From one person, Adam, God made all nations who live on earth, and He decided when and where every nation would be. God has done all this, so that we will look for Him and reach out and find Him. (Acts 17:26-27)

Pray that God would give the Polk County Jail Ministry the nations. If you ask, I will give you the nations. (Psalm 2:8) Prayer is where we start in affecting the world for Christ. People may refuse our love or reject our message, but they are defenseless against our prayers. God’s love story for the world is found in the Scriptures and confirms His eternal plan that was expressed in Christ Jesus, His Son.

He is building His family for eternity. Nothing matters more, and nothing will last as long. Knowing Jesus, the Truth, is the key to freedom. Jesus calls us not only to come to Him, but to go out for Him. Our mission is so significant that Jesus repeated it five times, in five different ways, in five different books of the Bible: Matthew 28:19-20; Mark 16:15; Luke 24:47; John 20:21; Acts 1:8. It was as if He was saying, “I really want you to get this!” As God’s family, our obedience to the Great Commission is mandatory.

We are privileged to share this good news with all the incarcerated and the Sheriff’s office staff.  You are the difference makers by your faithful prayers and financial support on a monthly basis as the gospel spreads. You are greatly appreciated, and our heartfelt thanks goes out to all of you!
