Coffield Trip (03-20-11)

We had a great trip on Sunday, to the Coffield Unit, in Tennessee Colony. We definitely carried in a "stacked" team of 17 guys, with one of them being on his first ever Sports Reach trip.

There has been quite a bit of turn-over at the Coffield Unit since our last visit, which allowed us to see a lot of new faces and establish new relationships with some of the inmates.

We praise God for another opportunity to serve in this unique minstry, and thank Him for once again protecting us and blessing us with another successful trip.

Coffield Trip Details

First trip is this Sunday(03/20), we will be meeting at Josh's office at 7:15am and leaving the parking lot at 7:30am. We are headed to the Coffield Unit with a good group. Should be a GREAT trip!

Meeting this Thursday Night

We will meet this Thursday night at 6:30pm at the new Bruno’s. We will pray for the trip and go through our usual planning. I would also like it if we would pray together as a team this week. Here are some things to pray about each day:

Tuesday – for traveling safety, for the planning of the trip to go smoothly/open doors, no last minute problems to prevent our trip

Wednesday – Staff at the unit, open hearts to receive Christ, strength to work in a tough environment

Thursday – Strength for existing believers inside the unit, for God to sustain them when facing trials

Friday - Inmates at the unit, their openness to the Gospel, hearts ready to receive Christ

Saturday – Our team, unity in Christ, preparation of our hearts to be used by Christ, flexibility
