"...as newborn babes desire the sincere milk of the Word, that they may grow thereby"

Description: A team of ladies (usually Fran Aldridge, Carol Davenport, Connie Farmer, Janice Sanders, Linda Trippe, and myself) go out to speak to the girls at the Detention Center. We conduct weekly Bible studies in four different dorms for 5 weeks, after the girls have seen the play,"Watch the Lamb" the week before.

The goal of this ministry is evangelism and basic grounding. We present the gospel every week, and try to share basic doctrines of the Word such as eternal security, walking in the Holy Spirit, and other milk doctrines of the Word. In addition, we are there to be an encouragement to them, and present their life in Christ, and CHRIST as the answer to their every need.

The girls are from ages 13-19, and are from all over the state of Alabama.

God's workings: We always see some girls come to know Christ as their Savior, and see many encouraged by their time in the Word. Our emphasis is God's grace and truth. The Father is always faithful to set up many providential conversations and situations.

Our Needs: Bibles for the girls are a need. Many times in the past other churches and organizations have supplied the girls with a youth friendly Bible(i.e. the teen Bible, for instance). This was not the case this time. It would be wonderful to have this available for them.

PRAYER: The nights, when we go out there your prayers are always coveted. There are so many distractions, that come into play during our time there. Please join in this ministry, with us and pray that the distractions would be limited. That these young souls would be open to the Word of Hope, that can only be found in the Person and Work of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

If you are interested in being a part of this ministry, come, observe, and be a prayer partner with us.
