I (along with various members of Summit) have lead Chapel Service 6 times. Over 150 women have either received salvation or rededicated their lives to the Lord at these services. I am scheduled to lead Chapel again on February 27. Every woman who comes to Chapel is allowed the opportunity to get on the Winning Track.

I have participated in the quarterly Water Baptism 4 times. Twice I have been priviledged to lead the women in ther confirmation of Salvation and assist in their actual baptism. Over 200 women have been baptised in my presence.

I lead a weekly women's bible study on the Q Block every Wedensday evening. Each week we have no less than 10 women who participate. They get really involved in the discussions, asking questions and fellowshipping with me and eachother. We take prayer requests each week and take turns praying for each other. Each woman in attendance gains a deeper understanding of the things of God which leads to a more intimate relationship with Him. All women who attend are on the Winning Track

Each week I assist Ms. Deborah Schell with the Substance Abuse and Recovery Class. I am there every Wednesday afternoon and every other Monday afternoon. I am responsible for grading and reveiwing all assignments the women turn in. I also counsel the women one-on-one. We spend alot of time getting to know eachother and praying together. Attendance ranges between 30-40 women each week. All women are encouraged to get on the Winning Track, by me and the other women already on Track.

I am still in contact with dozens of women who have left the Allen County Jail. Some are in local half-way houses others are in prison. Many have visited Summit. Many others look forward to visiting when their movements are no longer restricted. All who have visited loved their experience at Summit. They all said they felt welcomed and genuinely loved. Many look forward to making it their Church home. Many others encourage their family members to start attending until they are able to come.

Tomi,
Thank you can not even begin to let you, and every woman who has assisted you, how much you are doing and have done to make a difference in the lives of so many women. I never realized how much time effort, and love is put into what you do. To you and to every member that has assisted you, thank you. Thank you for giving back. You are changing generations.
Deborah
