What Is Syndeo Ministries Up To?
|
We are so excited about all that is happening at Syndeo Ministries. Lots of progress is being made on the bunkhouse that will house 25 women transitioning out of prison, who will become a part of Syndeo Discipleship School. Skilled laborers from different churches are coming to Syndeo Ranch, and are helping us to build as funds are donated. The building is dried in, and the siding is going up. Next phases will include air conditioning and plumbing. If you are interested in helping with construction or funding, please let us know. We can definitely use your help.
College groups, women's groups, and youth groups come to Syndeo too. We always have stuff to do. The ministry is growing by leaps and bounds, so if your church is looking for a stateside missions outreach, feel free to contact us. It's summer, and that means it is time once again for our Summer Refresh Outreach. This year, plans are being made to distribute water bottles and cooling towels to 8000 women. Whew! That's right...8000. There is no air conditioning in the metal prison units, which makes the Texas heat unbearable, and causes many health issues. Along with lots of volunteers, we will be going into 13 different units in Texas, delivering these items to make life a bit more bearable. Churches all over the nation are helping us to raise funds for this project. Would you like to help? If you would like to be a volunteer, a three hour training by Texas Department of Criminal Justice is needed. Write to us and we will connect you with a volunteer team member. If your church can partner with us in fundraising, we would so love your help. Individuals are welcome to donate too. Click here to donate online. What an honor it has been to be a guest speaker at a number of conferences. The Innocence Network Conference in Atlanta where hundreds of exonerees gather for encouragement, and the Surrender to His Grace woman's conference in El Paso, were just a few of the gatherings we had the pleasure of participating in. Anyone interested in having Hannah and Larry speak can just email us. Did you know we provide Bible Studies to ladies in prison? Hannah started a Bible Study with two ladies and now there are over 750 women who are involved. The studies go out to every woman who requests them about three times a year. Each woman who participates also receives a handwritten card with Scripture and encouraging words for 5 holidays during the year. Since this has grown so quickly, churches have signed up for particular holidays, and do the writing. It's a really neat opportunity! Speaking of opportunity, how would you like to be a Pen Pal and help us disciple these ladies? Syndeo Ministries also has a Pen Pal program. We need a lot of help here! If you are a woman over 18 years of age, you can sign up on our quick sign up page. Once you do, you will receive the guidelines in an email. Once you agree to them, you will be connected to your Pen Pal. We would also love for you to do the Bible Study your Pen Pal is doing. It's a great way to disciple, plus it gives you ideas of what to talk about. |
