Faithful Men Ministries - Jack's Blog

I want to share a few words to describe my 3 days and 2 nights inside Angola Penitentiary in Louisiana. What was the bloodiest & meanest prison in the United States has now become the Godliest prison in the United States. Warden Burl Cain, in 1995j brought in the first Bible college Seminary in a prison in the USA. The change in inmates lives, guards and wardens has been nothing short of miracle after miracle. Out of 5200 inmates only a few are serving less than 50 years to life so most will die in that prison. There were so many things God ministered to my heart, it is difficult to narrow this to just a few things. I guess because you never could have convinced me years ago when I found my father murdered that I would be ministering to murderers, The Fathers Blessing." Yet as I went from cell to cell on "Death Row" I asked them if they knew or had ever had a "fathers blessing. You know the answer. One man asked me after I blessed him, to pray for him everyday until he goes to the death chamber, because after that day, i would not need to pray for him anymore. I have a cross he made, around my neck, to remind me.
After Warden Cain began to see God change these mens hearts by the hundreds, his greatest burden was in asking God, "How to you teach a killer compassion?" So God showed him the place that requires compassion and mercy, which most of these killers showed absolutely no compassion or mercy during their violent acts. Hospice. Yes, when Burl Cain started a Hospice for those with terminal diseases and in their last months, weeks and days of their lives. He brought those incarcerated for life to take care of these patients. Yes, to feed them, bathe them, change their diapers. And through these moments and acts of compassion and mercy, God changed their hearts as they did their duties on hospice for months at a time and then asked if they wanted to be re-assigned. Unanimously they re-committed. The 3 killers we talked to had been there 3,7 & 12 years serving the terminally ill. Only God can change a mans heart.
I will share more later but want you to know that God is doing something in mens lives in prisons all across the USA. I have been with Grover Norwood, Heart of Texas Foundation as he is heading an endeavor to have the first Bible college seminary in a Texas prison. ( Angola Louisiana Penitentiary was the first and only so far in USA) The first Seminary will begin next August, 2011 at the Darrington prison south of Houston and will be an extension campus of Southwest Theological Seminary, Ft Worth, TX. I have been privileged to set in on the planning meetings so far and not quite sure what God is up to but definitely know that somehow God is going to provide for the Majoring in Men Curriculum by Edwin Louis Cole to be available to all men in 113 prisons in Texas. We already have it many prisons in several states right now and have commissioned 76 inmate men in Arizona prisons. God is using Mike & Dawn Kludt of Anointed Through Faith(ATF) ministries to physically hand the Curriculum to over 700 incarcerated men. Some of those men are now teaching it at the Dream Center in Phoenix. Praise the Lord. There are so many G0d has placed in different states to take the Curriculum to these men, Gary Mayhew, in Michigan and Albert Feliciano in NY, just to name a few.
You can be a part of helping us saturate prisons with the word of God. It is the word that does the work and changes mens hearts. Dr. Cole taught us, "Let the word do the work."
For $175 you can sponsor a complete set of Majoring in Men Curriculum, including my two books , Murder For Hire, in English and Spanish and my new curriculum workbook for The Unnatural Act of Forgiveness.
Please pray about what God would have you do during this special holiday season. Not only do we have so much to be thankful for but lots to celebrate as we enter that special time of our Saviors birth.
You can be a part of changing a mans heart from no mercy and no compassion to one who is full of mercy and compassion as Christ has shown for us.

God bless you as we labor in the fields together for men's souls,

I have so much to catch you up on from the last 3 weekends of ministry. It is so humbling to get to be a part of what God is doing in mens lives. It never ceases to amaze me how God's message on forgiveness is so foundational and essential ih all our lives.
Sometimes I wrestle with the repeated message of what God has done in my life in the area of forgiveness and i often seek and search for a "new message."
from God.
Yet, as I yield to the urging of the Holy Spirit and begin to minister God's heart on forgiveness it always seems fresh and new.
So on October 15, 16, I went to the One Day with God camp with Forgiven Ministries, at the Connally Prison in Kennedy, TX I knew forgiveness would be the opening message and sure enough it was God's headlines for the two days. Seems like if the enemy can keep us in unforgiveness he can keep us from the abundant life Jesus came to give us.
It is always incredible to see the children running and jumping in their fathers arms as they begin their 6 hours together. The day is filled with crafts, games, entertainment and of course pizza, BBQ and fried chicken. But it always ends with prayer and the fathers imparting the Fathers Blessing to their sons and daughters. What a sign to heaven when each of them release their helium filled balloons acknowledging that God has turned the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to their fathers. Mal 4:6
Maybe we shouldn't wait until were in prison to open our hearts to God and our children.
I will be sharing about the 3 days I spent inside Angola Prison in Louisiana & how God, through one man, Warden Burl Cain has taken the bloodiest prison in America and turned it into the Godliest prison in America.
I will be San Antonio at the National Association of Men's Ministries on Mon & Tues morning then driving back to Dallas for The Lions Roar Conference with Paul Cole and others Tues night and Wed morning. Hope to see you there.
Thanks for your support & prayers.

What an incredible weekend of ministry with Pastor David Garcia, Grace World Outreach, Brooksville, FL, Men's leaders Charles Donley & long-time friend of Edwin Cole, Bob Morton. 22 new Comm. men, 7 new young Timothy's for a total of 102 men who are making disciples and making a difference.Notice the Spartan shields for the young Timothy's. Big thanks to Charles & Christine Donley who have the gift of hospitality and overwhelming generosity.
It means so much to Faithful Men Ministries for Commissioned men like Clifford Hare, Ryan Hare & Ed Jost from Jacksonville, FL. to drive to other cities to be a part of forming the 'arc of swords' for newly commissioned men. It's developing life long relationships with me of like precious faith. It inspired these 102 men to find other men around the USA & the world they can go encourage to "go make disciples." Thanks all you faithful men.
This week I'm headed to the Connally Unit, Kennedy, TX, to do a "One Day with God camp. " More about that later this week.

"Sent By God" 2010 theme of Faithful Men & Women Conference. With Pastor David Frech, Church of the Harvest, revealing the depths of God's call on our lives as He prepares us to be sent, God prepares those that we're sent to also. Only listening to the CD will give you the fullness of what God brought to each of us. Pastors Guillermo & Milagros Aguayo, Casa del Padre, Lima, Peru declaring and re-establishing the "Foundation of the Family" as they faced each other renewing their vows of why they need each other so much & why their children and future grandchildren need both of them around to grow up. Robert Owens brought the balance we needed to hear to not lose hope. In the midst of tough times and it seems as if God didn't hear your cries, don't lose hope in God. When you don't hear God, then know that God is up to something! Then, Pastor Joaquin Molina, Spring of Life Fellowship, Miami, FL will always bring you back to the center of God's will for your life so the boundaries we are to walk within are always established clearly. Coach Larry Harvey, football coach in Bryan, TX has become one of the favorites as we began our 8th annual conference. Just to get the point across that God is faithful, God is Faithful, God is Faithful, God is faithful, God is faithful, God is faithful then shared with us the "faithfulness of God!" Grover Norwoods documentary movie, "The Heart of Texas" won every award last year, there is to win. We saw a 19 minutes version of his hour long movie that gripped everyone's heart as to how God wants us to live and walk with Him and others, even when your best friend and prayer partner, is the hit and run driver that killed your 4 year old daughter. You need this movie and Grover Norwood at your church, it's a must!
No One can close a conference better than Pastor Michael Tenpenny, Lamb of God church, Flagstaff, AZ. He thinks he is retiring but can't find the word in the word 'retire' in the bible. Somebody help the boy! God is just taking him to another level of ministry.
Get the 8 CD's from this years conference and experience the same thing in your home or car that we experienced for 3 days. Then walk in the revelation each moment of your day that you are "SENT BY GOD!"

Okay, finally back home from Peru late last night with my wonderful wife. What an incredible impact the "Save the Family" Congress is having. Eighteen countries taking a stand for the family and re-establishing God's definition of family. Not only great speakers but men & women of God doing more than just preaching about it. Just some of the speakers below in the picture( Pastor Guillermo Aguayo, Lima, Peru. Bob Meisner, New Day Ministries, Phx, AZ. Pastor Joaquin Molina, Miami FL. Pastor Ray Matos, Puerto Rico, Leo Godzich, National Association of Marriage Enrichment, Phoenix, AZ. Craig Hill, Familu Foundations, Denver CO. & Jack King, Faithful Men Ministries, Dallas, TX. Now I'm finalizing last minute details for Faithful Men & Women Conference, Sept 23-25. Then head to Hamilton, Ohio with Leonard Albert for the Kingdom Men Conference with Paul Holland

Normally I don't keep hammering you with things week after week, but I had to let you know about a great addition to our lineup of Speakers this year at our Faithful Men & Women Conference, Sept 23-25 at the DFW Airport Marriott South at Hwy 360 & Trinity exit.
Grover Norwood, Heart of Texas Foundation is going to be with us for the entire conference. If you are not familiar with Grover then go to www.heartoftexasthemovie.com A movie was made about his life and last year, 2009, it won every award there is for Documentary Movies.
I met Grover earlier this year at the Conley Prison Unit in Kennedy,TX. I was there to do a "One Day with God" camp with Forgiven Ministries out of Taylorsville, NC.
they were showing this movie to the inmate population and when it was over , Grover walked out on the stage. The men stood and cheered for a long time, since they had no idea he was going to be there. They had just seen him on the screen, now he was there n person. Every man wanted to thank him and hug his neck, they lined up around the room to get to meet him.
You may be saying, "well, what's the movie about?" Okay, briefly let me try to sum it up. Ten years ago, Grovers 4 year old daughter, Joy was run over and killed by a hit and run driver. When he found out it was one of his best friends, he was overwhelmed with compassion and went to the man to see how he was doing. What follows is one of the greatest miracles you have ever heard or will see n the movie. zit unified a community in Texas and the churches, black, white, you name it, the people were in awe of what God did in the midst of a terrible tragedy in the Norwood's family was beyond human capability. You can see a "trailer" about the movie on Grover's website above. Also Grovers ministry is at www.heartoftexasfoundation.org He has an incredible prison ministry. Come hear what God has him doing so every inmate n prison can study the word of God.
Grover is not coming to be another great speaker in an already powerful lineup. Grover has been touched by this ministry to men and feels every man in prison needs to be studying the word through the Majoring in Men Curriculum. He wants to be a part of what God has been doing in so many men's lives around the word. He acknowledges, "it's what works for men and it's the Word that does the work.
I know this email letter is long but thank you for persevering and please pray about coming and being a part of something that is already bigger than all of us put together.
