JUVIE JAIL MINISTRY
Meeting with an average of 8-10 girls for one hour each week, the Juvie Jail team persistently shares God’s message of love and hope. If you might be interested in learning more about this vital ministry at the juvenile detention center, please reach out to community outreach director, Rachel Frey, at rachel@newhopefortmyers.org. The team is praying for more women to join in taking a turn every few weeks to visit and teach a simple lesson based on Gospel truths. Many of the girls who attend the Juvie Jail sessions are eager to learn, having not experienced the example of sincere and healthy love from an earthly Father. This past week, the team was allowed to gather together with the girls in a Christmas celebration and to give them small gifts. Thanks to New Hope, who faithfully prays for life transformation to happen through the ongoing ministry at the Juvie Jail.
