There is news of recession, national security, and uncertainty as to "what to do next".
At Worldwide Voice in the Wilderness, we are committed to staying the course we set out on over 30 years ago. We are and will continue to go into prison and share the Message of Hope and Salvation through Jesus Christ to the Prisoners of the State of Texas, The US and of the World.
Mark 16:15 (New International Version)
15He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation
WVIW, exists to spread the full gospel message of Jesus Christ to prisoners, professional correctional people, victims of crime, and their respective families.
In Texas we are facing tremendous needs. At the end of Fiscal Year 2007, TDCJ held 152,661 offenders in prisons and state jails. TDCJ supervised 431,495 people on probation and 103,122 parolees. There are 71,000 plus currently incarcerated in county jails, and Texas' criminal justice system has more than ¾ of a million people under its control – about one out of every 21 adults.
TDCJ received 73,525 new prisoners in Fy2007 and released 72,032, representing significant growth but at a much slower rate than in recent years. The youngest offender who entered prison in FY2007 was 15 years old, and the oldest was 88.
These are staggering numbers. These men, women, and children are our mission field. Not only the prisoners, but we are serving their families and caretakers as well. And this is just in Texas.
They Need Help.
We Need YOU.
Your prayers and gifts of support are what fuel our efforts. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
