Minister Vanessa Linzy Woods brought the message titled To Catch a Thief. Chaplain Shelia Johnson and Dr. Cassandra Kitchen were also present. She reminded the men that this walk is spiritual, and as spiritual sons and daughters of God, we must stay on guard. She used scriptures John 10:10, Ephesians 6:12 to 19, Matthew 13:25, 1 Peter 5:8, and others. Of the 86 men present, several came forward for prayer, salvation, or rededication.
Awesome message.
Minister Vanessa Linzy Woods, God’s Elect

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.
