title: CRITIC: Pastor Eddie J. Woods has a word for you...

My name is Eddie J. Woods. I am a member of one of the local Southern
Baptist Churches in the Blythewood area. I must say that this affiliation
has been a challenge for me because of the color of my skin. I am a black
man and the only black in this congregation of which I have been a member
for about two and a half years.
After becoming a member of this church the Lord lead me to establish the Kingdom of God Worship Center which is a ministry that ministers to those who are hurting, frustrated and depressed. I was once incarcerated at the age of eighteen. That was when I became a Christian. After six years I was released. Since my release I have been involved in prison ministry continually for over twenty years trying to help those who are still incarcerated. I can relate to what these inmates are dealing with and I understand why many of them once they get out end back up in the system.
The Lord has placed in my heart a vision to reach out even more to help with the over-crowding of prisons and the rehabilitation of those who are being released. Sad to say, however, my resources are very limited. Therefore, I am appealing to you to help me with this vision that the Lord has placed on my spirit.
We have started a Breakthrough Crusade Ministry in which I share my personal experiences with the im-nates. We also share the inmate's personal letters and read each of them out loud for open discussion. We sometimes make copies of the letters and give them to others to discourage them from going to prison. Our plan is to open a boarding home with specially trained counselors to work with inmates who are released. These released inmates will also be a part of the Breakthrough Ministry sharing their personal experiences as well.
Again due to my limited resources, I am asking for your help. I believe with your help we can make a difference. There are several ways you as fellow Southern Baptists can help. We ask:
1 . That you pray a special prayer concerning these goals and visions.
2. That you, as Southern Baptist churches would open your doors and allow me to come in and share my experiences.
3. That you would make a monetary donation of some type to help with the Breakthrough Ministry.
4. That you would make available guest speakers to help minister in these Breakthrough Services and in return allow us the opportunity to come in and share our experience with you the Southern Baptist Churches.
Please consider and pass this information on to other pastors and churches who may be interested. I hope to hear from you soon.
