June 13 is the next Sports Reach trip to the Telford unit in New Boston. This is over 2 hours away so we will be leaving early Sunday morning and returning Sunday evening around 7-8pm.
Last year was our first time to visit this unit and it was great. They have not allowed many outside groups to come in, so this is a perfect place for ministry.
Also, next Thursday, June 10 we will be meeting at 6:30pm in the back room of Spring Creek Barbeque for our prayer/planning meeting. Hope to see you there.
Please pray about your involvement with this trip and let Josh know by tomorrow (Friday) if you can attend.

Powledge Trip 05-23-10
We had another great trip Sunday, at the Powledge Unit. We had a great time just being around the inmates. We were able to get in 4 games against their various teams(which we won all 4 of them), and even had a game where two of their teams played each other. During that particular game, some of our guys played soccer with the inmates, some visited, and some refereed their softball game. It was pretty neat to watch our guys interact with the inmates on so many different levels. Chad, David, Joshua, Will, Terry, and Josh did a great job in giving testimonies, presenting The Gospel, praying for the guys, and just encouraging them. We even had 3 new guys go with us for the first time(Brady, Rodney, and Lloyd). Overall, it was a very successful trip, and once again, God provided, blessed, and answered so many prayers on this trip.

Update From the Last Trip
Hey everybody,
A quick update on our trip this weekend to the Michael Trustee Camp. On the softball side we played 3 games against the inmate teams and were undefeated! We also played an exhibition game where we played ½ our team and ½ inmate team together. That was a lot of fun and gave us an opportunity to play alongside the prisoners. Overall it was a very successful trip for softball. We also had 3 first-timers and they played great. We hope to have Chris, Mark and Justin as regulars.
On the ministry side, David Hanley gave a great testimony about seeing God as a loving God instead of a harsh, disconnected God. It was really moving. We went through the Bad News/Good News tract and close to 10 guys raised their hands to make a decision! God is truly harvesting his fields and we are getting to participate. Jeff Coke gave a great message and testimony about having assurance of your salvation in the afternoon. It was really encouraging to believers who have doubts.
Our next trip is Sunday, May 23 to the Powledge Unit.
