Matthew 25:35-40
35
For I
was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a
stranger, and ye took me in: 36
Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: , and ye came unto me.
37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38-39
When saw we thee...in prison, and came unto thee?
40
And the King
shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it
unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
(KJV)

TESTIMONY |
| What a privilege to serve on
the Shepherd Staff of the First Apostolic Church. I have been serving for over 2
years with a great group of people who have a burden for the Jail Ministry. During
this time I have witnessed several water baptisms. There is something special
about seeing an inmate go down in the Name of Jesus Christ!! All we use is a humble
horse trough, but seeing the change on the faces of those inmates make that humble
horse trough a great beginning. Many say they feel a freedom and their faces show
that freedom. I wouldn't trade that experience for all the tea in China!!!
They are so thankful! But they don't know how blessed we feel just being
there. Even though we are there to minister to them, a lot of times they minister to
us. If you are looking for something that is so rewarding, come join Shepherd Staff
and watch God bless your life. Sincerely,
Michelle
