Thank you to our supporters and volunteers. The inmates in all the facilities are so greatful for all you do to support
Shekinah Ministries. The church behind the walls are praying for each and everyone of you. May our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ continue to bless you all abundantly.
INSIGHTS FROM INMATES ATTENDING THE JANUARY 23RD AND 24TH ARROWHEAD CORRECTIONAL FACILITY
SEMINAR.
Volunteers: Roger and Ruby Johnson
*Thank you for tonight, it blessed my heart and made me realize that God is with me always. I need to ask Him in
prayer for wisdom and understanding reading His Word.
*Could Shekinah Ministries come every week? The way Roger talked about how much God loves us and how He
sees us, helped me with my walk with the Lord.
*I want to thank you all for coming to share the Lord with us. We so appreciate Shekinah Ministries.
*Knowing that I do not need to impress the Lord. I don’t have to live in my past. God wants us to walk with Him and
have a loving relationship with Him. I believe the Holy Spirit is working powerfully in this church and in Shekinah
ministers.
*I really enjoyed the teachings and guidance and comfirmation, that I am loved and worth something. I would like
to thank Roger and Ruby and most of all God, who has given you both the compassion to come and care for and
teach us.
*I would like to take more time to express my gratitude, but anyway I would say and encourage you to continue to
do God’s will.
*I was able to recognize that I have a very high value with the Lord and He needs me to surrender my whole will to
Him. Your message was full of love and I appreciate your message and the time the two of you take, to show us love
and to share God’s Word!
*Thank you guys so much for your ministry. I pray you guys will keep coming back. Thank you for being true to
Hebrew 13:3 NIV
“Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated
as if you yourselves were suffering”.
*The peace that Roger shows in His walk with the Lord. I love Roger’s spirit! I am the Chaplain’s Clerk, so I see first
hand all of the other ministries that come into our facility. The men respond more postively everytime Shekinah
Ministers to us than any other ministry.
*I thank Roger and Ruby for loving us and bringing us the Word of God. May God protect you as you travel home.

The church of Arrowhead Correctional Facility
By: Roger Johnson
It was such a beautiful winter day that coats were not required, but it felt like t-shirt weather.
You never know when you have been to a facility a number of times, just who is still there or who has been
released for home, community housing or transferred to another facility. This was the case of the numbers at
Arrowhead; we had 23 inmates the first session, 43 inmates in the second session and not enough room for all the
inmates in our last session.
So many times we all identify our selves by our past, not much different in this church! We focus on the problems
and how we can fix them or stay away from them. All this may be good, but is it the true answer? When you’re
wearing green or a number on your chest, this can be a real problem. Not that repentance is not required, but we
all need to pick from where we are and realize the truth of what the Almighty says about us, Become who He
created us to be! Men of worship, faith and perseverance. To do this we go through various trails and a humble
attitude will work with God. He who is faithful will exalt you in due time, in the mean time we need the wisdom
of God to be our guide. If we keep our eyes on Him we get the privilege of seeing the hand of the Almighty
working for us not against us.
What a glorious church at Arrowhead, for all wanted to grow up in the Lord! Don’t we all?
