Letter #36 of 36. Each woman who attends the prison ministry weekend will receive a handwritten letter from each volunteer. Please pray for us as we prepare for the weekend.
Dear ______,
Is it possible to find freedom inside of any situation or circumstance? 2 Corinthians 3:17 says, “Wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”
It is possible to have freedom in your mind and spirit, even when you are stuck in a situation. Even on the outside, people are stuck in many situations: bad marriages, debt, jobs with bully bosses, facing sickness, facing death of someone they love. Life isn’t easy on the inside and it’s not easy on the outside either.
Some of us seem to have worse lots than others. It doesn’t seem fair, and it’s not. But no matter what our life situation is, Jesus offers us His freedom. Spiritual freedom is possible only through Jesus Christ. We can find peace, joy, and love in the presence of God.
Sometimes our situation won’t change, but our experience in it can.
Praying for you in Jesus’ Name,
Rachael Hartman

I’m raising money to help pay for this weekend. $150 will pay for one female inmate to attend the Kairos prison ministry I’m volunteering at.
If you would like to donate to the prison ministry, it needs to be in the form of a check made out to: KPMI (which stands for Kairos Prison Ministry International). In the memo put: Pulaski, GA. You can mail it to me, Rachael Hartman, at: PO Box 501, Bloomingdale, GA 31302. If you want a tax credit, include your full name and address on a note and they will mail you a tax receipt.
Thank you so much for your support and prayers! Every $5 goes to pay for a meal for one of the inmates that weekend. The meal will have a tag with your name on it. And we will have a paper chain link that will also have your names on a link to show that you have prayed for and invested into the weekend. Praise God for what He will do! Please keep me in your prayers as I will be speaking on Obstacles to Accepting God’s Grace, and sharing part of my own testimony in the process.
To add your name to the prayer chain (which will be visualized with a paper link chain – your name will be on one link) please leave a comment below. And please pray for Kairos #40 ~ Pulaski Women’s State Prison in Georgia. Kairos weekend happening August 25-28, 2016.
