Resume Time

Justin saw an ad for his dream job and is working on updating his resume...

The first three years of college, Justin was in a prison ministry. Several young men went into the nearby prison every Monday night to spend time with the inmates, share their faith, and build trusting relationships. He loved it and looked forward each week. I remember him telling me one time that there were guys in the prison younger than himself. He felt really bad for them.

It was on the national news one night...several inmates escaped by dropping mattresses out of the 5th story window onto the razor wire fence. One of the inmates fell wrong and was injured pretty badly. The prison took this very seriously and closed the prison to outsiders. No more prison visits for anyone. That ended the ministry for good.

There is a position open near here for a chaplain. Justin is not positive that he has the exact qualifications that they are looking for, but he will send his resume anyway. They may have something else if this isn't the right thing.

Justin loves prison ministry about as well as camp ministry, so we will pray he gets a job in one of these two areas. Thanks!
