Opening Day!

The Carolina Branch of the Saints Prison Ministry held its first game on Saturday, May 17. The game was played with the Shock Unit at Stevenson Correctional in Columbia S.C.

The Saints were represented by Phillip Little, Shane Rimmer, Jim Korth, Barney Megargee, Josh Korth, Steve Ponath, Nathan Stewart, Todd Smith, and Samuel Donahue.

After three quick innings the game was tied at one, then The Saints broke out and went on to about an 18-5 victory.

Following the game, the Saints had the opportunity to share with about 120 young men from the unit. Barney Megargee shared is personal faith story, and Jim Korth presented the gospel. Twenty-two men indicated a decision to follow Christ, and five more indicated they weren't ready now, but wanted more information about the Christian faith.

Another 70 men indicated they were believers and wanted to recommit their lives to Christ. Dozens shared personal prayer requests.

It was a great start for The Saints in the Carolinas and we look forward to sharing more great results in the future for the glory of God!
