The Missions Team is very excited about our new Prison Ministry. Anna Bolin is our team leader for prison ministry in the rutherford County jail system. Anna is currently collecting soft covered Bibles. A box is in the hallway across from the office. The jail needs approximately 40-60 Bibles every week. You can purchase paperback Bibles for $1.00 each at Dollar Tree or if you purchase through this website: www.holmanbibleoutreach.org, for every Bible you purchase they will match.
Please prayerfully consider getting involved in our Prison Ministry. This will include writing letters to inmates (training will be provided) and donating to purchase birthday gift cards for the children of inmates. We cannot forget the children who are affected by a parent being incarcerated and, in some instances, both parents being incarcerated. If you are interested in Prison Ministry. please contact Anna Bolin at bolinin@gmail.com.
The mission trip to Matamoras is scheduled for May 19-23. The cost is $650.00. This fee includes transportation from Nashville to Houston, Harlingen, TX, then via bus to Mexico.
