Discipling Operational Christians aka DOC Outreach

Message from Director/C.E.O.: This has been a wonderful 20+ year journey that has come to an end. Through months of prayer, the decision was made to dissolve the ministry and discontinue the services that D.O.C. offers.
My stroke in March has disabled me in ways that make it impossible to continue to do all that is required in the office and is legally required by the State of California.
I have treasured the opportunity I’ve been given with so many of His children. He most assuredly has blessed me in ALL of this.

Member Allan Courtney was released and paroled to Victorville and because of prayer and his obedience to Jesus' Word, a miracle took place and he was given a 30 day pass to Sacramento (his support base is there) on his first report day at parole!
That pass was extended and is now a transfer to Sacramento County.

Access to information creates wisdom - consider this funding request. This LSA organization does an amazing job keeping information flowing to those incarcerated.

You can make a difference in the life of a California prisoner--maybe even save a life. Due to the CoVid crisis all activities in California state prisons, all activities, self-help groups, work assignemnts and even educational programs are shut down. Men and women, many of ...

Some of our members write some moving poetry. Here is one from Rocky Froemel/CCI/CA

Brand New Me
When in heaven
you will see
that I have changed dramatically
Now up there I’m told
my body will not
be so old
You will find
when I get there
all my skin will be quite fair
Not a wrinkle will be there
when you see
the brand new me
You will know me by my name
but my shape won’t be the same
For when I’m there on
heaven’s stage
I won’t change from age to age
For in heaven God will erase
all the tears off from my face
No more fingers wracked with pain
but my smile will remain
When you see
the brand new me!

We aren't good at posting here - and I apologize for that. We are good at maintaining mail relationships with hundreds of incarcerated men and women but that doesn't show up here very well. :-)
How about a testimony from a member who was incarcerated before he was 17, and has finally been given a 'way home' in about a year!
Kevin Lattanaphom/CA I thank God every day that I’ve been given a chance to become a better man. To be able to come into a relationship with my Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. I remember when I first started out trying to learn about fellowship & church. It was really difficult for me because of I was a very judgmental person. When I see those that would attend service's and afterward go back to living in flesh or the world as it is put today. By my attitude and mentality in walking was in contrary to the teaching. I myself were walking in the flesh when I was judging others. I repented and ask God to help me to understand that I may be able to comprehend His merciful & great 10ve. In this, I was given humility. I was humble by how prejudice I was toward others that I may have driven any and all of those wanting to come to know their Lord & Savior.
And of course, DeAnn gave me the answer I needed to confirm also that my behavior were wrong. And I admit, that it was hard to say "I am wrong", a lot of us are like that. But if we are lead by the Spirit and we walk in tune with the scriptures, and living the words each day, it is a substance to our spiritual self. Food for the soul, in other terms. Today as I attend service and bible studies, I try to listen to that voice (Holy Spirit) guiding me understand and minister those teaching in my everyday walk. To be humble in all circumstance & situation. No matter what position in life I'm in and always let God words do my talking. I am being release in about 11-months after doing almost 25 years. With love in Christ Jesus, God Bless!!!

LSA does and has done an excellent job of working with CDCR for Lifers. They keep us informed, work Looooong hours, and say it like it is. Applause, applause. You are all amazing over there at LSA.

A few days ago I sort of went ballistic on FB and in email, after posting figures about the CoVid response from CDCR and being castigated by several individuals for being anything from naive for believing CDCR to being a 'stooge' for CDCR. And again, today, after posting the latest reports, I'm floo...
