| Greetings
from the Prison Ministry:
One of the many outreach programs at Temple
of Deliverance COGIC is its
prison ministry.
Comprised of elders, ministers, missionaries
and evangelists the prison
ministry team reaches out to the inmate population. The gospel is
preached to
the lost and hurting. Souls are being saved as a direct result of
the gospel
of Jesus Christ. Women and men are encouraged that with Jesus all
things are
possible.
Temple of Deliverance prison ministry team
visits several facilities both
in and outside the Memphis area. Each 2nd Saturday the team
travels to
Forrest City, Arkansas to the Federal Correction Institute and to the
Memphis
Federal Correction Institute each 3rd Saturday. Each 4th Sunday
the Shelby
County Correction Center. Each volunteer is trained prior to
attending any
one of the facilities.
From its inception, the prison ministry team
has seen hundreds of men
accept Jesus as their personal savior. Some men have expressed a
call to the
ministry and many unite with Temple of Deliverance COGIC upon their
release.
Many of the inmates follow Bishop Patterson's
radio and TV ministry on a
daily basis. Tapes of the ministry are donated to the prison
library as well
as literature.
Other doors are opening for the prison ministry
team and many volunteers
are being added. The harvest is great and God is sending laborers
to the
vineyard. Please pray for the outreach team that God will continue
to bless
and make ways to the end the gospel will go forth with power.
Thank God for Bishop Patterson and his love and
concern for ALL men.
Thank God for the word, thank God for Jesus!
