Softball, Steak, & So Much Fun

The weather was perfect. The players were ready for True Freedom’s third annual Yard Day. Once Executive Director Mike Swiger opened in prayer and shared the gospel, the games began! Five teams competed in this highly anticipated softball tournament at Grafton Correctional Institution. Along with two prison teams, we hosted three outside teams, two comprised of Amish men--truly a culturally diverse event. Though Grafton Correctional Institution took the prize last year, an Amish team secured this year’s victory. This special day ended with a generous cookout that beautifully expressed the love of Jesus. The feast included steaks, mac and cheese, and Amish cookies for the entire 2,100-prisoner population. Please pray that seeds planted at this event will bring forth forever fruit. Thank you for your contributions to our ministry, allowing us to serve the broken in creative ways as God touches hearts and calls them to Himself.
