Testimony Tuesday – Inmates Impacted By Crown

God works in unexpected places!

The transformative power of God is being experienced in the county Jail in Crestview, Florida. Despite the darkness that shrouds such environments, stories of God’s profound impact on individuals’ lives shine through. John Reaves, a valued partner, collaborates with the Emerald Coast Life Center and Joy Fellowship Ministries to run a recovery program within the jail. Their efforts extend beyond rehabilitation to equipping inmates with essential life skills. Recently, inmates participated in Crown’s financial program. It focuses on biblical principles of stewardship. The profound impact of these teachings was evident as hearts began to change. In a remarkable display of generosity, inmates started tithing their commissary funds to support fellow inmates in need. This selfless act exemplifies the transformation occurring within these men. It reminds me of verses in Psalm 139: “If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night, even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you.”

No matter how dark your circumstances may seem, don’t give up. Acknowledge the problem, confess it, and ask God for help. He’s near to the brokenhearted and hears the prayers of the righteous. Make a list of all the money you owe. Ask God to help you get organized and disciplined. Then, begin tracking every dollar you spend. With that information, you can build a workable budget to begin paying down your debt, and we’re here to help!
