Inmates across the country look forward to their release day. For many it’s been a long time. Some have served 30, 40 or even 50 years in Prison. The world has changed in so many ways, but they look forward to release day regardless of these changes. So many different emotions, from happiness to excitement, to some anxiety, and joy, They have waited on this day. But to think that the process of integrating back into society will be smooth sailing is naive. There are major problems ex-inmates face as they seek to rebuild their lives. This is particularly true of parolees that served a very long prison sentence. Today we invite you to join us in our series entitled “Transition” Throughout our series we will explore four challenges to prisoner reentry and potential solutions to each problem through the eyes of those who live this situation. These These 4 challenges are: Challenge #1: Not Knowing, Where to Begin, Challenge #2: Family, Challenge #3: Employment, and Challenge #4: Mental Health Issues There are many moving parts to prisoner reentry – reconnecting with friends and family, finding a place to live, and finding work, to name but a few.

The Word of God is full of sweetness. The marvelous favors of mercy, grace, forgiveness, holiness, and righteousness. A taste of heavenly honey covered in love. Oh, taste the goodness of the Lord.

Some are working many hours of the day, others are working 2 or 3 jobs. All for the riches of this world. Let's partake of a labor of love sharing the gospel with others. Yes, the work can be long and difficult. At times, it may even seem frustrating. But hang there. Every soul is important to Jesus. Your labor is not in vain, and the retirement benefits are out of this world.
