Make a Difference in an Ex-Offender's World

67% of the women in Arizona prisons return within 3 years. Christian ex-offenders need to hear that God loves them, they are significant to Jesus, and empowered by the Holy Spirit. They need to grow in understanding that their true identity is in Christ, and discover practical ways to change their thinking and behavior so they do not return to their old ways... and to prison.Your love offering will make it possible for Christian ex-offenders enrolled in the Women's Discipleship Program at Along Side Ministries to hear the good news about their identity by attending the 8-week class "Who Do You Think You Are?"Will you help us make a difference in their lives? We need to raise $50 per woman to cover materials, administrative and travel expenses.Please write "ex-offender class" in the memo section of your check and send your gift to: Greater Reach Ministries at:

New Series: Mentoring

Over the next week, we will look at some things I’ve learned over the years while training women to mentor others. My five topics are: Encouragement, Affirmation, Heart, Helpful Training, and Prayer. These are aspects of mentoring that we will want to remember as we relate to women.

As we discuss relating with women in our lives, our passion can be expressed either ineffectively or effectively. We can learn from Paul as he spoke to the Christians in Thessalonika, "We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well, because you had become so dear to us." I Thess. 2:8. God had given Paul a heart for those he was discipling just like He gives to us for those we reach out to.

Stay tuned as we cover 5 topics over 5 days!
