WORKSHOP INFORMATION
Christian Mission Ministry
We are beginning to get setteled into our new Emporia office. Our hope is to have an open house in December sometime.
Our Emporia office houses our Street Evangelism outreach, Music outreach equipped with a new recording studio, Prison outreach, Strong Tower 10 step recovery group, Youth outreach, Discipleship outreach and Wellness outreach which runs our Women of Value group. Remodeling is still being done but progress is being made. CMM Assistant Director, Tony Smith, was ordained this last month as CMM pastor. Tony and his wife Jan have served CMM for the past 2 years.
Directors Corner
As always I thank you for your prayers and financial support. All donations are tax deductible. For the past three years a team of CMM staff has been working hard developing a 10 step work book for our Strong Tower program. Praise be to God it is done. This 200 page work book addresses the sins of addiction while revealing the truth about recovery. We will introduce two new outreaches this year. The Directors have been hired and we will release outreach updates in our next news letter.

Behind The walls
Written by men and women serving prison time
We Are Working Together
By John (Angola)
Each day I have a need to see
If you would like to follow me
To a place where we are one
With our Father and His son.
I'd like to see you make a choice
to some day soon that uses your voice
For something other than telling a lie
the reason you do I know not why.
You see I once did the same thing
but now I know what our Lord brings
If I follow and you come too,
we will be one all brand new
Are you ready to make a change,
than you must make it very plain.
Don't act as though you are ashamed,
that is not why the Lord Jesus came.
He came to save us one and all,
If you don't know about the light,
if you don't think you can do anything right,
then ask for wisdom, power and might,
from our Lord Jesus Christ
AMEN

Outreach Updates
Prison outreach
Prison outreach
Our Prison teams have completed another successful year of ministry work. The Pelican Bay supermax trip was a great success. Many seeds were planted . Janna Hancock and Rochelle Fields returned safely from the Alaska mission field the end of September with Great! success. Our Strong Tower recovery program was planted in the prison system. Our teams already look forward to gearing back up for next year. We have trips planned for Florida and Louisiana the first of next year.
Janna Hancock completed her in-service training for the Kansas prison system and will be praying for doors to continue to open for Strong Tower implementation in the Kansas system.

Discipleship outreach
The Discipleship outreach remains very active in our prison system and in our community. Tony Smith continues a weekly study on Christian growth in the Lyon county jail, and has correspondence classes set up in Pelican Bay supermax (California), Marion Maximum correctional (Florida) and Angola Maximum (Louisiana).
Tony spent most of his young life in and out of trouble with the law. Having fought and won, through Christ, the war with alcohol and drug addiction, Tony uses this experience to disciple others. If you are interested in being part of a Discipleship study class please give us a call.
For more information regarding our Discipleship outreach go to our Discipleship page.
Strong Tower outreach
Strong Tower now has five active groups. Besides the Emporia and Independence groups 3 new groups have started. The new groups are located at the Emporia Rescue Mission, Strong city Main Street, and Eagle River Alaska. We are very excited about the direction God is taking Strong Tower. For more information on Strong Tower go to our Strong Tower page.
