Wayne Scott Unit (formerly Jester IV) – February 26
Mike Weorner, Jason Perez, and I (John Hammond) ministered in this unit. The room was full with over 40 men and has grown extensively since the unit reopened after Covid. I introduced ‘The Hope For All In Jesus Prison Ministry’ and led the men in worshiping the Lord. Jason gave an exhortation on The Mind Is The Battlefield where the enemy wages his war on Believers, and showed from Joshua 1:9, that we are to be strong and courageous because the Lord our God is with us wherever we go. Then Mike gave a message on the Parable Of The Lost Son from Luke 15:11-32 encouraging the men that our Heavenly Father always welcomes back anyone no matter how far they strayed.

His love never ends and we as Believers have the Holy Spirit to guide our every step, who brings convictions for us to return, and not condemnation as the enemy of souls does. Mike gave the invitation to anyone who wanted to give their lives to Jesus or renew their walk. Four men came forward and stated their commitment of dedication.
God Bless you; Pastor John P Hammond

Minister Robert Ward and Dan Groves went into this unit and joined them and their very talented worship team in lifting the name of Jesus.
Dan introduced the ministry first and then Robert, who gave a word of exhortation from Matthew 6 about the true treasures of God. Dan then gave the message about real “sorrow that works repentance”, out of James 4 & 5 mostly and pointed out the painting on their Chapel wall that says, “Brokenness is how the light gets in”.
I also shared with them news of what is happening in Chapel at Asbury Christian College in Wilmore Kentucky, and encouraged them that the same Spirit was here with them ready to do amazing things. Dwane reported that their numbers had grown lately and God is moving among them.
