Roy's salvation story: I grew up in a Christian home with parents there were active in the church and my dad on the board. There were times I watched my dad grab the back of the pew and it looked like he was going to bust that wood right off of it. What I didn't understand was it was the power of conviction he was feeling. When I was 12, I went to church camp and they had different services and Bible studies. Afterwards, they would have campfires and there they asked if anyone wanted to receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior. It was the first time I had ever felt a convicting spirit. I took a step forward and asked Jesus to
be my Savior.

Cathy's salvation story: In May of 1965, a friend of our family, Jack, had been witnessing to me about the love of God. He would come up the street to our house from his home, sit on our porch with his steel guitar, and sing about Jesus. One Monday morning in May, I stayed home from school because I had hurt my ankle. I was lying on my bed when I had a "vision" from the Lord. I saw myself walking down the corridors of my school, and the Lord came back to take His children home to heaven. Only, I was left behind. I remember crying out, "Oh, Lord! Take me!" He asked me, "Why?". I said, "Because I love you!". I was released from the vision, realizing that I didn't even know Him. How could I love someone I didn't even know? Tuesday night, I went to church fellowship where Jack attended, and when the alter call came forth, I went forward, knelt, and gave my heart to the Lord. I can remember so vividly feeling as if a giant weight was removed from my heart, and I knew that I knew that I knew that Jesus was real and alive! Two days later, in another evening service, I was baptized in the Holy Spirit and spoke in my heavenly prayer language. God placed a call on my life to go into missionary work. I believe that missionary work is ministering the love of God to those who are incarcerated in prison. God is so awesome and loving. All these years, He has been faithful to me.

Julie's salvation story: I was six years old and my mom prayed with me to receive Jesus. In my adult life I didn't remember this time and asked my mom about it. That is when she told me I was six. I always felt like I should remember that time. A few years back, I was studying the book of Revelation and I again asked my mom about when I became born again. She assured me I was and she was there. I knew God was with me and I had already been baptized in the Holy Spirit but the devil kept attacking me and telling me I wasn't born again. One night when I was sleeping, I had a vision. In this vision, I was driving my car, the one I have now and then, and I felt myself lifting up out of my seat. I struggled and struggled to not be lifted up. I asked, "Where is Summer?". I heard God say to me, "She is right here." That is when I stopped struggling and was lifted up out of my car through the roof. I then saw myself in a green field with a huge mountain far off. I saw so many people that it felt like the crowd would never end. I looked up and saw a huge city made of gold, with round tops on the buildings, and very detailed, coming down from the sky. Then I woke up. I wanted to go back to sleep! I knew God gave me that dream to soothe the fears the devil was trying to bestow upon me. It was okay I didn't remember because I knew God was living inside of me. I just knew.

Michael is a minister, teacher and speaker. By listening to God, Michael brings forth the messages that are used for the videos that are sent to the prisons. He brings God's message to those in need and is able to eloquently speak the words God has chosen for him. Michael loves to help people by changing their lives through the messages God has instructed him to give, based on God's word.
Michael's salvation story: I was seven years old at Berean Assembly of God. I just felt like I needed to and I did. I still remember how it felt.
Michael's thoughts: I minister to those who are incarcerated for several reasons, but the two main reasons are as follows:
First, everyone is born into sin and with a sin nature. That sin nature may have led those individuals to commit crimes. They are lost and need a Savior, just as I needed Jesus before I was saved. I know how hard it was for me, as a believer in Jesus, to remain faithful and make good decisions. How much more difficult must it be for someone who doesn't know Jesus at all?
Second, most prisoners will eventually get out of prison. Without the spiritual support and tools to succeed, reentry back into the community can be extremely difficult. Many individuals will return to old playgrounds and playmates - that can often lead them right back to prison. By working from the heart outward, real change happens. It's not just reprogramming the brain...it's reprogramming the heart.

Rebecca is the musician. She plays the piano and shares her musical talents by playing special songs with the violin at events such as the Union County Fair, Veterans Day, and Christmas along with any other special events. Rebecca plays the music from her God given tender heart. You can hear the love of God through her music.
Rebecca's salvation story: I was on a family vacation, and we were visiting my great aunt and uncle, who were ministering at a small church in Missouri. My aunt and uncle sat on the porch swing with me and asked me some questions to see if I understood the importance of a decision to follow Christ, since I was just seven at the time. When they could tell that I was serious about giving my heart and life to Jesus, I made my confession of faith in Him and was baptized. What a joyful day! Since then, I have made many more decisions to dedicate myself, perhaps in deeper ways. The Lord has been so faithful in my life, and I've never doubted my choice to follow Him. I like the quote, "Commitment to Christ is like marriage: One big yes, and a lot of uh-huhs!"
Rebecca's thoughts: Music has been a precious part of my life for as long as I can remember. It is a privilege to share that gift from God with the people we visit in prison, and to see the power of Jesus shared in the His Word and through music.
When I play the piano or violin, it stirs my own heart, and I believe the Lord uses it to bless the hearts of those who hear it. My desire when I play is that the music brings praise and glory to our Father in Heaven as well as bringing peace and joy to those listening here on earth.
What I most enjoy about being part of this ministry is to play a small role in ushering people into the presence of God to worship Him, and also to watch these priceless souls come forward at the end of a service to make Jesus their Savior! When the music is being played, it often gives courage to those who are nervous about coming forward, and in those moments, I always get goosebumps. Let us continually bring the "sacrifice of praise" to the feet of the Lord! (Hebrews 13:15)
