October 9th Speaker & Luncheon
Jordan & Sheila Skiff
Living Out the 5 Love Languages with Love and Laughter
Sheila and Jordan are not professional speakers. We don't have books or CD's to sell, and we aren't planning on an international speaking tour anytime soon. We're just a couple who have faced a great number of hills and valleys in our marriage, and who have seen God remain faithful throughout them. We also know the joy and gratitude that come from staying faithful within a marriage, even when we may not feel like it, and even when it seems like tough situations will never get better.
We look forward to sharing some of these stories and these lessons with individuals or other couples, using "The Five Love Languages" as a framework for our talk. It is our hope that we can be an encouragement to others--and to be encouraged by them--as we all strive to discern and follow God's plan for our lives.
Purposeful Partner
La Crosse Jail Ministry
The La Crosse Jail Ministry offers residents and former residents of the jail spiritual direction, rehabilitative support, and connections to faith communities. We have a full-time chaplain who serves in the jail. The chaplain provides supplies, games, puzzles, and access to a library. The chaplain meets with residents one-on-one to encourage and pray for them. The chaplain will give any emergency notifications to residents and phone calls for specific needs. The chaplain also works with residents to connect them to a faith of their choice.
Currently, there are over 80 volunteers that come into the jail to provide services. When the resident leaves the jail, the ministry supports them with bus tokens and any needed clothing items. The ministry has an additional 20 volunteers providing mentoring and encouragement to people transitioning out of the jail through our Circles of Support program.
