August 2025 Prison Praise Reports

August 03, 2025 – Clemens Trustee Unit – Brazoria

Dan Groves went to this unit and joined the men for worship, after which I gave a message entitled “The Fear of Man vs. The Fear of God,” in which I contrasted the many types of fear, trust, respect, reverence, and belief people will either give to man and human institutions or God and His ways.

August 03, 2025 – Larry Gist Unit – Beaumont

Chaplain S. Johnson, Min. J. Felder, Dr. M. Kitchen, Elect Lady N. Young, and Min. C. Kitchen went to Gist Unit in Beaumont, Texas. Both services, 11:00 am and 1:30 pm, were opened with praise and worship in which the men joined in. Chaplain S. Johnson sang a couple of anointed worship songs which filled the room with the presence of the Lord. At the 11:00 am service, she ministered a passionate and powerful word from Isaiah 42:1-22 entitled, “Restoring.” The men were up on their feet praising the Lord, and 9 accepted Christ as their Lord and Savior. God was in the place! Elect Lady N. Young delivered an awesome word from Romans 12:2 entitled, “The Supernatural Love of God Transformed Me.” The men were in awe and received every word! Many of them came for prayer and received a breakthrough. Praise the Most High! Dr. Cassandra Kitchen

August 17, 2025 – Stringfellow SAFP Unit – Rosharon

Dan Groves went to this unit. I was impressed with the turnout as they already had church that morning. Using a CD, we had worship. One man that had a demon cast out and came to Jesus last month gave his testimony of what God is doing for him. Several others also gave testimonies. I then gave a message titled, “Diligence or Slothfulness.” Using many proverbs, we ended up in prosperity God’s way, finishing with 3 John 1:2.

August 24, 2025 – Larry Gist Unit (1:30 PM) – Beaumont

Chaplain S. Johnson, Min. J. Felder, Evangelist Min. V. Linzy-Woods, and Min. C. Kitchen went to this unit for the 1:30 pm service. We opened with praise and worship in which the men joined in. We then sang a couple of anointed worship songs, led by Chaplain Johnson and Min. Linzy-Woods, which filled the room with the presence of the Lord. Min. Linzy-Woods delivered an amazing word entitled, “These Scars,” which was an analogy of her own experiences from Psalm 147:3. The men were up on their feet praising the Lord because they could identify with the message. Most of them came up for prayer so that their wounds would become healing scars. Glory to God! Dr. C. Kitchen

August 24, 2025 – Oliver J. Bell Unit – Cleveland

Jerry Beasley and I ministered in this unit, which had 86 men in attendance. This unit has an anointed worship team that ushered in the Presence of the Holy Spirit. Jerry is a new member of the Hope For All In Jesus Prison Outreach team, and he spoke an encouraging word that was well received. I gave the message “A New Creation” from 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore if any be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” The men were very receptive to the message, and when I asked if anyone wanted to become a child of God, one man came forward and gave his life to Christ. In His service, Pastor John Hammond

August 24, 2025 – Richard P. LeBlanc Unit – Beaumont

In Beaumont, we began the service with prayer, introduction, and welcome followed by praise and worship. Chaplain Shelia Johnson preached an awesome sermon titled “Dirty Clothes: Washed, Ironed, and Ready to Wear” from Isaiah 64:6. This sermon referred to how we are all dirty like filthy rags needing to be cleansed of our spots and wrinkles, as well as Isaiah 1:18 that though our sins are as scarlet, the Lord washes us white as snow. She taught that after the washing, we have peace with God from Romans 5:1 and that because of the washing process, we are sanctified, justified, and purified as a result of confessing our sins to God. He is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Repent, be baptized, and receive the Holy Spirit. Washed in the blood, ironed by fire, and being clothed in the Holy Spirit. There was a room full of men, and they received the message well. Many came up for salvation, rededication, and prayer. Several of those men also signed up for baptism. To God be all the glory! And again, we praise God for the harvest! Vanessa Linzy-Woods
