00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:47.520
Thursday. Excited to visit right now
with and with and we're going to talk

11
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:51.880
to her about the Sioux Falls area
right to life having an event come up

12
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:56.560
here called Life Chain twenty twenty three. And this is going to be here

13
00:00:56.560 --> 00:01:00.000
before you know it. We're sneaking
right up on October first. If somebody

14
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:02.399
listening is going, hey, I
would like to learn more about this.

15
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:03.879
I'd like to be a part of
this. Where do they go to find

16
00:01:03.879 --> 00:01:07.840
the information about the event? Oh? You bet? Thanks for having me

17
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:12.799
so you can go to our website
which is Supfalls area right to life dot

18
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:18.959
org and on there there is a
sign up link that you can register to

19
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:22.959
participate ahead of time, but you
don't have to. You can just show

20
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:27.319
up at two to three o'clock on
October one. The website also has a

21
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:30.640
two minute video that shows what it
looks like, so if you're a little

22
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:37.079
intimidated by I don't exactly know what
you do during that time, it kind

23
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:41.280
of helps show you what that looks
like and what you What you do is

24
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:44.159
pretty simple. You just kind of
stand there with a group of people and

25
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:49.040
and do good things. Right.
Yes, Yes, you can pick up

26
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:53.480
a sign at either the parking lot
of Soup Balls, First Church or a

27
00:01:53.560 --> 00:02:00.400
Gorman And the signs are helpful because
on the back they have different prayer points

28
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:04.480
of what you should be focusing your
mind on during that hour, because it

29
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:07.919
is an hour of silent, quiet
prayer and it's not a walk. But

30
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:12.599
you can't sit. If you don't
feel like you can stand for an hour,

31
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.800
you can grab a bottle of water
and sit in a lawn chair or

32
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:20.479
folding chair whatever. Yes, and
of course things that we want to pray

33
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:25.599
for would be for because you know, young moms are being referred across state

34
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:30.879
lines for abortions, so we pray
that they would find a pregnancy resource center

35
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:35.680
here in the state to go to. First we also pray to make abortion

36
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:40.680
unthinkable and that the alternatives would be
more available. It's just very important for

37
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:46.599
that. And of course we also
want to pray for healing for mothers and

38
00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:53.719
fathers who have abortion regret that they
may not suffer silently anymore because they've probably

39
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:59.599
had some physical, emotional and spiritual
problems related to the memory of that.

40
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:04.599
So we want to pray for those
those people. Again. Life Chain is

41
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:08.719
coming up Sunday, October one from
two pm till three pm, and again,

42
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:12.000
if people would like to pick up
a sign, they can do that

43
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:15.080
at a Sioux Falls First Church or
at O'Gorman High School. And life Chain

44
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:19.319
kind of goes from that one end
all the way to that other end,

45
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:23.759
and it's it's a it's a bunch
of people. How many people have you

46
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:29.039
had do this in the past,
Oh, usually around seven hundred or so.

47
00:03:30.039 --> 00:03:32.599
There used to be a lot bigger, So they have declined over the

48
00:03:32.680 --> 00:03:37.560
years just because I think it's the
novelty's horn up. I don't know why

49
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:40.719
exactly, but we still need it
more than ever. And like you said,

50
00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:47.159
it does go from Western to Sirtoma
and it's just on the north sidewalk

51
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:52.719
of that thoroughfare up West forty first
Street, avoid the constructions. If somebody

52
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:54.120
would like to be a part of
this, if they would like to assist

53
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:58.240
and help with this, do they
sign up right through the website or do

54
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:00.080
they just show up that day?
What's the best way for somebody who's listening

55
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:01.759
right now to go, Hey,
I want to be a part of that.

56
00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:06.120
How do they do that? So
both both ways work. So if

57
00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:11.919
you go to the website, suet
Balls areas right to life that or there

58
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:15.800
is a sign up genius that you
can sign up there, but you can

59
00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:20.079
just show up. I recommend you
allowing plenty of time because of the one

60
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:28.720
lane construction in parts, so going
fifteen minutes early to be at either suop

61
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:33.439
Balls First Church or Gorman to get
your sign and then then we can show

62
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:39.319
you where to go some churches,
many churches have already an assigned block.

63
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.639
So if your church has not signed
up, please let us know and we

64
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:47.959
can add your whole church somewhere.
But otherwise just show up that day is

65
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:53.399
perfectly fine to come and pray.
The other thing we want to pray for

66
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:59.600
is because of the pro abortion advocates
that are circulating a petition that would place

67
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:03.959
on the ballot and amendment to the
South Dakota Constitution that would allow abortion all

68
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:10.639
the way up till birth. It
also overrules the bipartisan common sense laws like

69
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:15.639
parental rights that are already in place. So please, if you see a

70
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:19.360
petitioner, don't sign the abortion petition, as you're asked. And again,

71
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:23.879
the event is coming up on Sunday, October one, from two pm till

72
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:28.319
three pm. It's called Life Chain. And you were just mentioning some churches

73
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:31.120
sign up where like the whole church
goes and does this together. But maybe

74
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:33.399
somebody listening if they're not a part
of a church that does that, or

75
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:35.399
maybe they're not even part of a
church, but they're going. Boy,

76
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:39.959
I really do think this would be
a good thing. They can show up

77
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:41.639
on their own. You don't have
to be a part of a group.

78
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:44.600
It could literally be a group of
one. And the cool thing is you'll

79
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:46.879
meet a bunch of cool people that
day, right, yes, you bet,

80
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:51.160
you know. It really gives the
pro life community a boost when they

81
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:58.360
see fellow pro lifers out there.
So every single one of you count and

82
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:01.560
it really how we reck a man
you stand at least ten feet apart because

83
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:05.879
people can read the signs a lot
better that way. You know, are

84
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:12.720
signs that say adoption, the loving
option, other things that affirm life are

85
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:16.839
on those signs. So we really, really every person helps so much you

86
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:21.079
don't even realize. And while you
pray, you can also pray how can

87
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:28.480
God use your best with your gifts
in the ministry of life? What else

88
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:31.079
can you do? For many people, this is their their first step and

89
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:33.839
then they think, oh, that
was really not that hard. Maybe I'll

90
00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:39.160
do something else now for pro life. I'll volunteer at the Alsis Center or

91
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:42.759
you know some other things where you
could be used. So yes, so

92
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:46.759
your prayers really helped change your hearts. It also really, you know,

93
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:49.879
gives us a boost, gives all
of us a boost. So thank you

94
00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:53.439
so much for that. Yeah,
and thank you for your time. I

95
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:57.759
appreciate it so much. Thank you

Excited to visit with a guest today
who is going to give you an

107
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:46.600
opportunity to make an amazing difference in
many, many, many lives. There's

108
00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:50.319
an organization called Prison Fellowship, And
on the phone right now I have Stephanie

109
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:55.079
Taylor Thompson. And this is a
program that's kind of near and dear to

110
00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:59.680
you, isn't it, Stephanie?
It is so. I'm too thankful to

111
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:03.360
be here today. It's wonderful to
share with you all. I hope you've

112
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.120
all had a wonderful Monday, great
weekend. I am the Prison Ministry manager

113
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:13.600
for both the Dakotas, Montana and
Idaho. I have been with Prison Fellowships

114
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:18.399
for a little over a year,
but my start with Prison Fellowship team quite

115
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:24.199
some time ago. I am actually
a formerly incarcerated person. I was in

116
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:31.120
prison in two thousand and ten and
have a very lengthy background at that time

117
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:37.000
with drug addiction and trauma, being
a victim of human trafficking, lots of

118
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:43.240
adverse childhood experiences in my life,
and just really had no direction and no

119
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:50.799
relationship with Christ. I really struggled
when I first came to prison, and

120
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:56.000
it wasn't until I met a Prison
Fellowship volunteer that not only was I able

121
00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:01.039
to accept Christ in my life,
but it was really able to get set

122
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:07.759
on a path towards recovery and restoration
in my life. So Prison Fellowship is

123
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:11.960
very near and dear to me.
I have seen first hand, you know,

124
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:16.720
not only the transformation that's made in
my life, but to trans transformation

125
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:20.840
that it's made in so many men
and women's lives across our country. And

126
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:24.000
I think that's absolutely wonderful. You
had a chance to see firsthand what an

127
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:28.039
impact it made in your life and
other lives. And there are probably some

128
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:31.200
people listening right now that maybe never
in a million years thought that that's something

129
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:35.519
that they would do, but maybe
their heart would be open to this.

130
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:39.559
And let's talk about some reasons why
this might be a good thing for somebody

131
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:41.240
who if they're right now trying to
figure out what can I do, how

132
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:46.120
can I help? You know,
why would Prison Fellowship be a good fit

133
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:48.559
for you know, maybe not for
everybody, but for some people. Yeah,

134
00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:52.759
Well, Prison Fellowship we are the
nation's largest prison ministry. We've been

135
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:58.320
around for forty years, and our
academy is really a support for the clients,

136
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:05.919
the support for people to really develop
a strong solution for three entry,

137
00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:11.600
recovery and transformation. We all know
that transformation requires personal commitment, and in

138
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:16.840
the Academy we create the environment and
supply the tools to make that journey possible.

139
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:24.759
Participants come together and the former community
conduces to change. Every member in

140
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:28.960
the academy does the hard work of
learning to think and act in a new

141
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:33.480
way. So this is a spaith
based academy, and not only is it

142
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:37.759
faith based, but we also take
an evident based approach to it. That's

143
00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:43.080
very unique and we've just seen monumental
change across men and women in the country.

144
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:48.480
It is. It's a beautiful opportunity
to volunteer. You can really volunteer

145
00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:52.840
as little or as much as you
want. In the academy. We have

146
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:58.679
two academies running. One is at
the self at the Mic Durfy Unit in

147
00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:03.440
Springfield and then also at the Soup
Falls men Men's Penitentiary in soup Falls.

148
00:11:05.159 --> 00:11:09.639
And the soup Falls location is closer
to us. But if there's somebody listening

149
00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:13.879
that maybe the Springfield location is closer
to them, they could kind of choose

150
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:18.080
to serve wherever is most convenient for
them, right, yes, uh huh.

151
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:22.039
And if somebody would like to do
this, they don't just like show

152
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:24.039
up one day and start doing it. There's some training that's involved. Let's

153
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:28.159
talk about what that process is like. Yeah, so there is a prison

154
00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:33.679
Fellowship training that you that you go
through and you are able to take that

155
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:37.960
at your own time. Of course, the sooner that you get got done

156
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:41.559
the sooner that you're able to go
into the prison and volunteer. And then

157
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:46.960
there's some training that is required through
the South Dakota Department of corrections and that

158
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:52.159
just goes over you know, policy
and procedure, It goes it goes through

159
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:58.759
some security security needs so that you
can enter the prison. But yeah,

160
00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:03.919
there's an application process. You just
go through an application process and then you

161
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:09.919
go through our volunteer training and you're
ready to go. Now, most of

162
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:13.240
the people who sign up to volunteer, do they have a background like yours

163
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:18.919
where they maybe were involved in the
other side of this or is that kind

164
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:22.720
of a unique situation to have people
who've been on both sides. Actually a

165
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:28.159
lot of formally incarcerated people choose to
come and volunteer with Prison Fellowships. And

166
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:33.759
some of them have been, you
know, participants in either our academy or

167
00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:37.960
Hope event. They've been served by
Prison Fellowship in one way or another.

168
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:41.879
Maybe it's suit Angel Tree, but
you know a lot of them haven't,

169
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:46.919
and this is their opportunity. Maybe
prison Fellowship wasn't offered in the prison that

170
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:50.279
they were at, and so this
is really their opportunity to get involved and

171
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:56.799
give back. I'm on the website
right now, prison Fellowship dot org.

172

best first step for somebody? Listen,
