June 1, 2025 – Stiles and Larry Gist Units – Beaumont, TX

On June 1st, Pastor John Hammond and Dan Groves visited the Larry Gist Unit and the Stiles Unit. At the Stiles Unit, approximately 160 men participated in the 8 AM service, where the palpable presence of the Holy Spirit made for an extraordinarily uplifting worship experience. Dan delivered a message rooted in scripture, while John focused on the theme of the Locations of God. Five men accepted Christ, alongside many others who sought prayer. At Larry Gist, Pastor John led the congregation in worship, followed by Dan’s sermon on the history of creation as conceived by the Godhead. John provided additional encouragement and called for prayer, resulting in numerous individuals coming forward for prayer and several rededicating their lives to Christ.

Incarcerated men seated in a prison chapel raise their hands in worship as a ministry team leads music and prayer from a small stage. A wooden cross hangs behind the speakers, and barred windows line the room, capturing a moment of spiritual connection and hope within confinement.
