Jail Ministry Outreach
Sunday, January 21st
Come and learn about our Jail Ministry. Hear how God is using our
church to make a difference. Discover how you can be involved.
Praise the Lord, we were blessed to pass out 200
bags for Christmas to the men and women at the
Franklin County Jail. Each bag contained socks,
soap, chips and a snack cake. The inmates were
very grateful and it had a huge impact on them.
Note from Men’s C-Pod:
“We sincerely thank you for the Christmas presents that we received
from the Estill Springs Nazarene Church. The gifts we received are
greatly appreciated. You all don’t realize how much it means to us that
you all would take the time out of your day to think about us this Holiday
Season.”
God Bless you Sincerely,
William, Jordan, Steve, Charles & Jesse
Letter from an inmate:
“Thank you so very much for the gift that sparks our minds to remember
God’s greatest gift of all, His Son and our Savior, Jesus Christ. I have
been incarcerated for 45 months. I came into jail on March 13, 2014
with a bad drug addiction and a wife with a bad addiction. Jesus found
me and she is still in the addiction. I told her I couldn’t come home to
that life and she left me. I am being released to nothing on February 8,
2017 but I have Jesus. Please pray for me.”
Johnny
Please continue to pray for those in jail and for us as we minister to
them. For many, this is the first time they hear about Jesus.

MICAH 6:8 MINISTRY from Sandy Schefcik
Did you know… that effective January 1, 2018, the
new Tennessee law allows students at institutions of higher education
to speak about, write about and discuss any topic so long as they do
not violate the First Amendment? The law also forbids these
institutions from disinviting speakers on the basis that their presence
may be met with criticism or controversy.
