BREAKING NEWS! I just received an e-mail from Murray Batt that the
Welcome Back facility that sends out the TDCJ release info has burned to
the ground. Hopefully, some church will allow some of their facility to
be used to get this important info out on Welcome Back releases-- on a
temporary basis.

EXTREME HOSPITALITY! Some of the HS Teachers and former school mates,
plus the Operation Rebound team from the Gist State jail in Beaumont,
are taking a newly released Gist State Jail friend out to dinner to
celebrate. Now that is the start of a great aftercare outreach!
We are having another Tent Revival starting next Monday night. There
is a great renewal taking place at this facility.

Just a thought to United Methodist Churches--Want to turn around the
spiraling decline in membership that is happening across the USA??? Get
involved in Prison Ministry and all other facets of Restorative Justice
Ministries. After all, it was the love expressions of the original Holy
Club and incipient Enthusiast "Methodist" churches that got this
movement started anyway.
