I began teaching Sunday School at our church when I first got out of college. Thirty years later I felt the call to reach out beyond our church. I began going on mission trips and knew that God was preparing me for something. The Holy Spirit was equipping me to minister in my own community!
A set of God-led circumstances led me to assist in the Most Excellent Way Ministry at my church, First Baptist of Panama City. Each week I am blessed to facilitate Bible studies at the Bay County Jail, the Northwest Florida Reception Center (prison) and the local detox facility in Springfield. The scripture helps these men seek forgiveness and healing. We try to help them apply God’s Word to their daily lives. The life changing power of the Gospel can impact these men inside and outside of the walls. The power of Scripture can change their lives and the lives of their families. I receive such a blessing from these opportunities…but it is all about serving Jesus.
