Presbyterian Women meets on Wednesday, November 1, 2023, 10:00 a.m. in Fellowship Hall. We are thrilled to have Phil Wagner, the founder of Set Free Prison Ministries, as our guest speaker. Phil founded Set Free Prison Ministries in 1971 .  After graduating from Bible school, the Lord led Phil into full-time prison ministry. He served as the official staff Protestant chaplain at Chicago’s infamous Cook County Jail from 1971 to 1978. In 1974, Set Free Prison Ministries was formed as a 501( c ) religious nonprofit organization. During his chaplaincy, the Lord began to enlarge his vision and impress upon his heart to establish prison ministries in other states modeled after the very successful and effective chaplaincy program being used at Cook County Jail. After training up three chaplains and with the new goal and vision in mind, he moved to Riverside, California in 1978. Over the past many years, the Lord has blessed his efforts and used him to help establish many independent jail and prison ministries throughout the United States and Canada. Internationally, Phil has planted prison ministries in Moscow, Russia in Eastern Europe, and Almaty, Kazakhstan in central Asia.

Please join us and as always, men are also welcome to attend this event. It’s one you won’t want to miss!
