My name is Derrick. I am a client at CBCF in Cuyahoga County. I would like to thank The Way Out Prison Ministry for your commitment to do Bible study and Chapel services here. Through you faithfulness I was able to meet Minister Butch who has been a blessing to me. A relationship I will continue when I leave here.
Through Butch I have started helping the homeless at St. Malachi and St. Herman.
So, if no one else has said thank you, let me be the first to say thank God for your faithfulness, prayers and sacrifice.
God Bless you all!
Your Brother in Christ,
Derrick

Hi Terry!
I just wanted to thank you again for all your help, support, and time. I prayed for the Lord to give me some direction about what church I was to go to when I got out and the next day you showed up at the Oriana House and you told me. I love His Ways!! Thank you! I just hung up with Pastor Dale and we had a great conversation! He set aside some time to meet with me at 9:15 am on Sunday before services. I am really looking forward to it! Thanks again! I hope you are having a blessed day!
Love,
Kathryn
Hi Terry!
I can’t think you and Sue enough for getting me connected to Pastor Dale and to Cuyahoga Valley Church. I met with Pastor Dale this morning and he was so welcoming, compassionate, attentive, and helpful. I shared the titles of two books I read while incarcerated that might interest his son and he shared the names of those who may be able to help me in my job search, join a small group, and more importantly, with my 3 Jewish teenagers. The worship service really touched my heart and the Word today through Pastor Chad was very moving. I was very hungry and I was most definitely fed. I will be joining the church and I am so grateful to you both. I am going to go online now and complete the CVC spiritual gift assessment Pastor Chad mentioned today. I hope you are well. God bless you both! Thank you for being His good and faithful servant! You made a difference in my life!
Sincerely,
Kathryn

My name is Mike P and I am from Cleveland Ohio. I recently graduated from CBCF (Community Based Correctional Facility), in which I was deeply involved in your ministry.
I would like to thank your ministry for being there for me in CBCF. It is a great ministry, and it is evident that God runs the show in it! I pray that you continue to reach out to men that were in my shoes. With God, all things are possible!
Your brother in Christ,
