The Prison Ministry Team The Prison Ministry of the River
Road church of Christ visits with the inmates of the Dougherty County Jail at least once
monthly. We prepare and teach classes on Sunday mornings and Sunday evenings. Our
ladies team led by sisters Betty Wiggins, Joanne Moore, Mary Clark and Eliza Horton
teach the female inmates on a regular basis. The male inmates at this facility are
taught by Bros. Grady Broadnex and Eddie Moore. At least once a month those members of our
team who have badges and are authorized to enter the jail are requested to accompany those
members of the team who do not yet have a badge. This year our goals are to
distribute some 300 bibles to the prison inmates and to enroll all inmates we teach
in a bible correspondence course.
Hard Work is Rewarded The hard work and dedication of Sister Betty Wiggins to the inmates at the Doughrty County Jail was rewarded with a grant of $750.00 by Procter and Gamble. This grant will go a long way in helping us to realize our goal of providing each inmate at the Dougherty County Jail with his or her own copy of the bible.

Hello my name is
Bro.Grady Broadnex and I have been working with the River Road Church of Christ Prison
Ministry which has been affiliated with the Dougherty County Jail in Albany Georgia,
for the past two and one half years. It has been an unbelievably rewarding and exciting
ministry. It is so good to know that God can touch those who society regards as the
outcasts or untouchables. God has blessed me to be able to witness and teach inmates on a
regular basis, some come looking for prayers, some ask for help for their familiy, but
many come just seeking christian fellowship. If we can put aside for a moment all the
pre-concieved ideas we have about prisoners, we are left with just another soul who
is seeking a knowledge of the Truth. The Prison Ministry is truly a blessing from
God. Please continue to pray for us that God would enable us to continue to bring others
to the feet of Jesus.
