NEW ORLEANS BAPTIST
THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY
LOUISIANA STATE PENITENTIARY EXTENSION CENTER
Graduate Inmate Ministers continue to make great
strides in our missionary ministries. From prisons
all over Louisiana we receive reports of their
evangelistic and discipling skills. After seventeen
years of maturing the Angola Seminary is more than
an experiment, it is an integral part of prison
reform, rehabilitation and education.
Most prisons in Louisiana have inmates who hope to
rehabilitate and gain parole. The majority of our
men are “lifers” who will go and teach and win
others. If a younger man who is incarcerated is
discipled and taught a job skill he will help change
the streets of Louisiana. To this end the seminary
is working. Not only are churchmen being enriched in
leadership but godly teachers are being placed in
strategic prison settings.
The North American Mission Board has a
twenty-seven minute documentary on the NOBTS “Bible
College”. Churches should be able to secure a DVD of
this program after it airs nationally.
Angola is no longer a scary place. Christ is
claiming many lives. The men of Baton Rouge Baptists
continue to aid and contribute to the entire
mission. Thanks to the Association for what you are
doing to bring the Kingdom of Christ to a dry and
thirsty land.
We receive
$10,000.00 from the Georgia Barnette State Missions
Offering and are dependent on the generosity of
churches and individuals for the other $30,000.00
needed annually under the designated offerings given
through BAGBR. |
