Father God, I pray for these men and women, who have volunteered to take job preparation training inside the walls of Marion County Adult Detention Center, for their specific prayer requests, and most of all Lord I pray that you work in the lives of those who don't think they need prayer or, for some reason, think they don't deserve it. I lay these, their prayer requests at your feet:

Women
Essence...children and for personal strength
Felicia...family, self healing and complete restoration
Emily...mom and Lisa
Sheila...stay on track in recovery
Ricki...maintain sobriety
Honistee...6-year-old and three-week-old children, DCS involved. Also for her high blood pressure
Shekia...Self and daughter
Kamilah...to stop doing drugs (cocaine)
Melissa...her mother and father

Men
Patrick...himself, mother and grandmother
Michael...none
Justin...none
Andrian...none
Khylan...none
Jason...none
Demarco...to be forgiven
Deray...wisdom, discernment, protection from those who oppose God's will
Demetrius...to get home
Jenarris...none

Father, I also pray for Doug, who is teaching this course. Lord, he is your faithful servant, a man who, after retiring following a 40 year career in corrections, cares so much for incarcerated men and women that he continues to work to see that they get the second chance that they deserve. Please keep Doug safe and healthy.

In the name of Jesus I pray,
Amen

Please pray for money for 2025 van transportation for people who come out of jail in Indiana. It has meant so much to me and other men who leave jail with no way to get to work. With the vans we got a way to get to work every day. Now we hear we have to worry that we won't be able to have it. It takes time to save for a car. Some guys have done it, and they are doing good. Thankk you Jesus!

My friend, J.R. has lost his job., due to an altercation at the work site. He needs another job, with a company that understands the triggers people coming out of incarceration have to deal with. He is a good, caring, Christian man, with a big heart. Please pray for him to get the right job, working for the right people, where he can grow into a respected member of a team where he works.

Please pray for continuation of 2nd Chance Indiana's van transportation service that takes reentrants to and from jobs every day. Most reentrants don't have a vehicle to get back and forth to work. Without the vans, many will lose their jobs. Please pray that decision-makers in Indiana will see the benefit to keeping these folks employed, that their families will be reunited, that their children will have the benefit of a family income, and that the futures of those who have paid the price for their mistakes can be welcomed back into their communities.

Asking for Prayers for Martin Anthony Villalon, Jr. He was incarcerated at age 15 and still incarcerated. We are requesting prayers that the court system find it in their hearts to release Martin. He has served enough time for his crime. He was raised from a child to an adult man in prison. He has never been in trouble and he is a gentle and polite young man. The staff loves him and he is doing amazing things.

I am also asking you guys to contact Martin to have Bible studies with him. He is in the Miami, Indiana Correctional Facility.

God Bless
