May 25, 2025 – Larry Gist Unit, Beaumont, TX

Chaplain Shelia Johnson, Minister J. Felder, and Dr. Cassandra Kitchen visited the Gist Unit in Beaumont, TX. We commenced the 11:00 AM service with a time of praise and worship, during which the men actively participated. Chaplain S. Johnson led several anointed worship songs, creating a powerful atmosphere of worship. She subsequently delivered a compelling message titled “He Is Able,” based on Ephesians 3:20-21. The men responded enthusiastically, finding renewed hope in the message. A total of 67 men attended, with one individual accepting Christ and one rededicating his life. The entire group then gathered for prayer, bringing glory to God.
