Missionaries:

Myers:

      A and C Myers and their two children are currently serving in the Middle East with Mission to Unreached Peoples (www.mup.org).  They began their service in January of 2008 and will spend the first one to two years concentrating on learning the language before getting an English teaching job.  They are also a part of a church planting team that includes two other families who will be working together to see a fellowship started in a city where no fellowship exists.  Please pray for their continued learning of the language, for their protection, for team unity and for the people of the country they serve.

Ms. Linderman:

     Ms. Linderman was recently appointed as a missionary by both the ABC of the Dakotas and ABC International Ministries. She asks for our support through our prayer. She would especially appreciate us to pray that she will be able to establish solid, trusting relationships with the Roma (Gypsy) people of Bulgaria, and in partnership with them will be able to provide alternatives to women who feel they have no options other than to prostitute themselves to feed their families.

Prison Ministry

     South Dakota Prison Chaplains Association was formed in 1995 after the Governor eliminated state funding for the chaplains position at the South Dakota State Penitentiary in Sioux Falls, SD. Our ministry is totally funded by churches and individuals who see the need for prison chaplains. In 2003 we started a church within the maximum security unit of the South Dakota State Penitentiary. The inmates named the church - Prison Lighthouse Fellowship. Chaplain Regan Beauchamp and his wife Becky lead the church along with an inmate council elected by the inmates and an outside board. We worship on Thursday evenings at 6:30 p.m. We invite churches or individuals to come in and worship with us. We try to have 6 - 10 outside visitors every week. If you would like to schedule a group to visit our services, contact Regan & Becky at 605-363-3784 or e-mail us at prisonchurch@siouxvalley.net.
