“My husband, Dusty, and I recently participated in the Prison Outreach Weekend as a part of the 90 Days of Blessing. We had the privilege of ministering in the Faith-Based Dorm at Murray. We sat with women who are so hungry for the Word of God. These women are captive, but free in Christ, and they are excited about their faith!

My husband was the ‘Apple Man’ as he handed out apples to all the women as they finished their lunch. We will never look at an apple again without thinking about how excited the women were to receive that apple. Something so commonplace to us was like a treasure to them.

I sat in the chapel service along with the women, praising God, and heard singing like I have never heard before. These women were all dressed in their white prison clothes. As I looked around, I thought about how someday they would exchange these prison clothes for their ‘robes of righteousness.’ My life was forever changed on that weekend. I am so thankful for Prestonwood and the many opportunities it offers to minister to those in prison.”
