Our ministry goes to several jails/prisons:
Collin County Jail
We have a worship service and Bible teaching. We are teaching the New Covenant and the Torah. We’ve baptized 10 women at Collin County jail and will baptize more women. God is working on the women there.
Billy Moore Correctional Facility
We go to this men’s prison in Overton, Tx, two Sabbaths per month to have a Messianic classroom service. We celebrated Passover with the men in 2024. Last summer we taught a Bible study called “A Man Like David” about David’s life and how he pursued God’s heart. We learned things that we could take into our lives on a daily basis.
Hobby Unit
We go to Hobby unit (women’s unit) in Marlin, Tx two times per month. We have service for Sabbatarians and others who believe in keeping the Sabbath and Feasts of the Lord. It’s evident that women are being softened and changed. We are teaching the New Covenant. The women love the study and ask many questions.
Marlin Unit
We go to Marlin unit (women’s unit) in Marlin, Tx two times per month. We have service for Sabbatarians and others who believe in keeping the Sabbath and Feasts of the Lord. The women are very engaged and enjoy our study. We are teaching the New Covenant. The women love the study and ask many questions. We have many discussions because many questions come up.
Lane Murray Unit
Lane Murray is the ministry’s newest unit. We have a service there for Sabbatarians twice a month which includes worship, teaching and prayer. The women are very engaged and enjoy our study. We are teaching the New Covenant. We are purchasing notebooks for the women to take notes. This is a very exciting time! We are expanding into more prisons.
Here is what the ministry is teaching in jails and prison:
The identity of the believer
When we are deceived about our identity, we look at New Testament Scripture wrongly and we don’t study the Old Testament because we think it’s been “done away with.” However, Yeshua taught the opposite. This is why it’s so important to study the Old Testament. Paul told Timothy “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” The Scripture they had was the Old Testament. This means it’s still good for those things because it was good in Paul’s day. They used the Old Testament to teach the gospel. Paul taught that the identity of the believer and follower of Yeshua is “Israel.” When we know this, we study the Bible from a different perspective.
The problem with the people in the Old Covenant
Hebrews 8:8 says, “for He finds fault with them when He says”, and then he quotes Jeremiah 31:31-34 where He tells us about the New Covenant. Many scriptures in the Old Testament tells us that the problem was Israel. They rebelled and disobeyed God’s instructions. We are no different today. We are still rebelling and disobeying God’s commandments. We think we can disobey God’s commandment about the Sabbath and we don’t have to keep the Feasts of the Lord, His instructions about food, or any other laws because we’re “Gentiles.” But once we come to faith, we’re not “Gentiles”, we’re Israel. This is a strategy of the enemy to deceive us.
The New Covenant
The New Covenant is that God will write His Law on our minds and hearts (Ezekiel 11, 36 and Jeremiah 31). He will put His Holy Spirit within us to cause us to obey His statutes and rules. The New Covenant is not Jesus or the New Testament. Many believers don’t learn the truth because their pastors don’t teach them. They teach that: (1) God divorced Israel and removed the Old Covenant, and (2) the church is Gentiles who replaced Israel and received a New Covenant, and (3) the church doesn’t have to be in covenant by keeping God’s Law. BUT, God’s Word says something different in 1 John 3, 1 John 5 and Romans 3.
The New Covenant promises
The New Covenant has a lot of promises. The Old Covenant had promises, but they weren’t as good as the New Covenant promises. As Israel, we are heirs to the covenants and promises according to Galatians 3:29.
