Back to Angola

It has been 6 months since I was last at Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola.  But come Sunday, I will be headed back down for a week of teaching and preaching.  Come to think of it--I will actually celebrate my birthday down there!  But I digress...

Thanks to Warden Cain and is staff, I have been able to work from time-to-time at Angola for over 10 years now.  While I do go to teach--it is often I who learn--and for that I am thankful.  Of course, the evening worship times are also special--and very uplifting spiritually.

But, starting this past March, I embarked on a slightly different adventure--teaching See Through the Scriptures.  Along with my teaching partner Cheryl Gieseke, we taught our initial class of 50 men in the main prison.  When we left, we also left behind 2 inmates who were going to use materials to teach others "on the walk."

This week, we will teach an additional 50 men in the main prison--and--we will also be doing one day workshops in Camp C and Camp D, using The Bibles' Big Story.

Thanks to Harry Wendt for producing all these fine materials--and we look forward to sharing/training many more men in the Word of God!
