February 2, 2025 – Larry Gist Unit – Beaumont, TX

Chaplain Shelia Johnson, Minister Johnnie M. Felder, and I had a memorable visit to the Larry Gist Unit. After opening with scripture and prayer, we all joined in songs of praise. Chaplain Johnson delivered a powerful message titled “Help!!! My Flesh Is Trying to Kill Me” from Romans 8:12-13. Among the 49 men present, two embraced new beginnings with Christ, and five rededicated their lives. It was a powerful moment of deliverance and breakthrough. C. Kitchen

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.
