Marco's Testimony: "I did the time and the time did not do me"

We love to share the testimonies of some of the students in our classes whose lives are changed by God working through CPO. Marco was a graduate of the Life Learning program in 2014, and these are his words:

"Hi, my name is Marco. I must say, the life learning program has helped to change my life in many ways, and I have seen it do the same to others in the program.

From A CPO Volunteer: "Hope that someone cares"

We love hearing the stories of the wonderful volunteers from our partner churches. It is the greatest blessing that CPO can be involved in helping connect such wonderful men and women who are filled up with the love of God with those who are hurting. We're honored to share Jan's story with you:

New Welding Class!

A new welding class is starting up this month!

We've had over twelve classes of men and women go through our welding training. Through the help of great volunteers and staff, we're able to offer training to prepare people for competitive jobs in welding and other trades.

Our next class begins soon, so if you know someone who would be interested in participating, please call our office at (708) 331-3301 and ask Noreen about the next Welding Class Orientation. Participants need to pass a standardized test that CPO will administer.

Light Shining in Darkness

Sometimes we receive letters from the inmates who participate in our Bible studies and somehow, they are more capable of communicating truth through their stories than we ever could be!! We're honored to share part of this friend's testimony:

Fall Prayer Update

Here are some ways that you can pray and praise God with us this season!

2. There have been many new changes to the Life Learning Program at the Cook County Jail. Pray that the lives we touch will continue to grow in Christ.
