In Prison

Matthew 25:36

Please consider this important opportunity.
Volunteers immediately needed!

Timothy Network is now partnering with “Doors of Hope” in discipling offenders housed at Rutherford County’s Correctional Work Center. We started with nine inmates and nine outside mentors in April. The partnership has proven a great tie-in with our disciple making goals. Life-on-life investment is in progress.

If the first three months are an indicator, “Project Braveheart” is shaping up to be an important longterm component of Timothy Network. The first nine men graduated from Braveheart on July 13, and twenty-four more are enrolled. This is very exciting, however, more mentors are needed! Men and women are being discipled, but the immediate need is for additional male mentors.

Fourteen men from four different churches are signed-on to work with the new group. We need to enlist ten more volunteers within the next few days, however.

Responsibilities of a mentor

1) Team up with one inmate from the Rutherford County Workhouse.
2) Commit to pray for this man every day.
3) Exchange hand written letters once each week for three months.
* Inmates will not receive your personal address. Correspondence
to you will be directed through Timothy Network’s post office box.
4) Work schedule permitting, attend the Braveheart graduation ceremony and be present on the day your mentee is released from RCCWC.
This is optional.
5) Follow-up. After his release, meet with your mentee on a weekly basis for encouragement, support, and further discipling.

Training is provided

A ninety minute information and training class will take place next week. Two sessions are available: Tuesday evening August 7 or Wednesday evening August 8. Sessions will be held at The Timothy Network office (151 Heritage Park Drive Suite 301, Murfreesboro 37129) beginning at 7:00 p.m. each evening. If needed, advice and help will also be provided along the way.

Please pray about it and consider helping us. Let God work through you. You’ll be a blessing, and you’ll be blessed in return.
