January 2020
A Word from Del- I personally want to thank all the prayer partners that pray for SFPM regularly. You don’t realize how vital this is to the success of the SFPM prison work. I ask that you continue to pray for the chaplains, SFPM Board of Directors, and all personnel with SFPM. Our ministry in 2020 was one of the best years possible. Katie Harnish was selected County Chaplain of the year in PA. Officials of both LCP and YIC have acknowledged outstanding performances of several of our chaplains. Streams of Life, our state prison ministry, continues to receive acknowledgement on its work in the state DOC and receives scores of letters from inmates thanking our work in their prisons. The Schuylkill County project where we have teamed with Jubilee in placing chaplains has gone extremely well also. All this is only possible with God’s direction and blessing.
Pray for an inmate – That is going home and concerned how he will be received by his wife and family. Pray that God can strengthen their marriage and allow forgiveness to work.
Pray for Chaplaincy Coordinator – Katie Harnish as she oversees the religious programs of LCP in 2020. Also, that she can be used and blessed in her work with the women at LCP.
Pray for inmates being released – January is a difficult time for many inmates that return to poor situations and sometimes homeless situations. Pray that God would not only fulfill their Spiritual needs but also their physical needs.
Pray for YIC Chaplaincy Coordinator- Jeryl Zimmerman as he continues to bring strong leadership to the Youth Intervention Center chaplaincy and in presenting the Gospel to the young people.
Pray for Jewel Sensenig – SFPM office administrator is also adding several days to her schedule by working in the Chaplain’s office at LCP. Pray that God will continue to help her adjust to this environment. Also pray for current LCP office worker Diane Pistone as she reduces her schedule in the future and she adjusts to desired less hours.
Pray for an inmate– That Del and Delmar Weaver have ministered to since 2002 at SCI Mahanoy. L.L. has been incarcerated since 1975 as a 16-year-old. He has been a wonderful Christian role model and prison church leader to the young prisoners for many years. He is being released the first week of this month. Pray his home plan is strong and he can adjust to a new life in a changed world.
With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints. Ephesians 6:18
I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart; I will tell of all Your wonders. Psalms 9:1 NASB
