This article was published in Saturday's paper at home while we were in Texas. What a welcome home for CRI, it even lists the small group guidelines, great article. Laura attends the Out4Life Coalition Monthly Meetings, the next one is the Tuesday at 11:30am at 1st West Baptist Church, the church home of volunteer and Ministry Leader at Richwood Correctional, Bee Meadows. We have gained many contacts and as a result access to services for our clients by participating in the Northeast Louisiana Regional Re-entry Task Force. Building relationships like this in our community has been so important and beneficial to this ministry.

Tuesday's meeting will partner CRI and many other coalition members with Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Northeast Louisiana, our special guests on Tuesday, in an effort to promote the mentoring program at BBBS for children of incarcerated parents. Actually, Laura's kids have participated in the program since 2008, she was the guest speaker at the annual meeting of the Wellspring Alliance which includes BBBS just last month. She shared her story and the positive impact the program has had on her kids. It is an awesome program.

We were so pleased to see this follow up article to the February 4 article on the graduation of 78 inmates at Richwood Correctional Center. God continues to do amazing things in Louisiana with CRI and we are so blessed that we get to be a part of it.
