New Destiny News!

Greeting! Recently, I shared from Exodus 14 when preaching the Red Sea story.



Exodus 14:15



15 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on.



God is calling us to earnestly seek HIM, to spend time in His presence and believe! To believe in FAITH for far more than we could ever hope, believe or have seen. But while we have cried out to Jesus and spent time hearing HIS voice, He calls us to to action... to MOVE ON. God would challenge all of us to take action! To move on.... to be All In! We are believing for a true Move of God in our lives, families and Denver, NC (and surrounding area).



Blessings,

Pastor Mike Teeter has been involved in prison ministry off-and-on for more than 20 years and now he’s in the process of encouraging the congregation of his newly-established Denver church to follow suit.

Although New Destiny Community Church was formed in April 2010 and is currently about 30 members strong, Mike is confident that the work that he and his fellow church-goers are doing for local inmates within the Prison to Society ministry is straight from the hand of God.

“God put everything together,” he said.

NDCC is part of a church plant that Mike and his wife Melissa founded last year with help from its “parent church” Lake Wylie Christian Assembly in South Carolina.

Through LWCA, where the couple formerly attended church, Mike served as a volunteer chaplain with the PTS ministry at South Carolina’s Kershaw County Detention Center, which houses more than 1,500 inmates.

Joann Cook, head chaplain at Kershaw, helped launch the PTS program.

Prior to getting involved with the prison’s ministry, Mike noted that he had ample missions experience.

He served on a year-long missions trip to Central America where he taught a variety of subjects at a bi-lingual school, he said. More specific to the PTS program, he had been visiting a number of jail facilities, including women’s prisons, for decades.

“I had a heart for it already,” he noted.

However, it wasn’t until 2004 that he started to get more heavily involved in the spiritual needs of inmates.

NDCC is one of many churches that volunteers with the PTS program. Other congregations include Calvary Baptist Church and Woodlawn United Methodist Church, both in Rock Hill, S.C., among others.

With only eight total churches helping with the program in 2005, more than 40 churches currently assist Prison to Society and aid inmates in becoming both “more responsible citizens” and more “complete in Christ,” according to a PTS brochure.

“It’s easier to get things done if you do it together,” Mike said of the churches’ joint effort.

The program offers nearly 70 chapel services a year as well as an annual holiday dinner each December for all Kershaw prisoners.

However, only those inmates who are within six to 18 months of being released can enter the program.

PTS offers inmates more than just faith-centered instruction. A large portion of the program centers on educational teaching and socialization skills, such as how to handle money, and other proficiencies necessary for appropriately transitioning into life beyond “bars.”

Mike noted that, upon release, prisoners can even become involved in a special program to help them find jobs.

“They’ve really grown in helping men become a success,” he said. “They also have a support system when they get out.”

Of the more than 100 men who have entered the PTS program over the last couple of years, a majority have graduated including five former inmates who celebrated their completion of the program on Aug. 26. Each of the men spoke about their experience with the program and even shared their testimonies at the graduation celebration.

Mike noted that one graduate in particular brought him to tears after the jailed individual read aloud an original poem, entitled “God’s Plan Through Prison Time” — an autobiographical rhyme about his journey of spiritual change.

His heart’s transformation and attitude change is evident when comparing the poem’s opening line:

“Lord, at first this prison seemed like sinking sand,” and closing lines, “You placed me in a cell to bring me forth as ‘gold!’”

Because Mike has no doubt that God changes lives for the better through the PTS program, he hopes that all Christians will take an initiative to reach others for the faith, even if that doesn’t entail entering a prison facility.

“Everyone that’s a Christian should go outside the ‘four walls,’ ” he said, “whether that be a prison, nursing home or orphanage. In some way, get beyond yourselves.”

Although Mike personally believes that the PTS program has a “high success rate,” he understands that it’s still too soon and the program’s still too young to accurately determine that outlook.

“It hasn’t been enough time to get a good sampling,” he said.

New Destiny Community Church currently holds services at Westport Country Club in Denver until the church can find a more permanent location. Their main service is 6 p.m. on Sunday.

For more information on NDCC or the PTS ministry, contact 704-947-3829 or check them out on Facebook or on their Website at www.newdestinydenver.org.

The next PTS chapel service at Kershaw is set for Nov. 12. The holiday dinner is scheduled for Dec. 2.

Helping prisoners to the light, then to society

New Destiny volunteers at South Carolina prison

When Pastor Mike Teeter, of New Destiny Community Church, in Denver, decided to get his congregation involved in outreach programs, few of those volunteers could have imagined that they would see the inside of a prison.
“We are a small congregation of about 25 to 30 members,” Teeter said. “Yet, we wanted to not just minister to our own families, but to communities as well.”
New Destiny sent members to work with Chaplain Joann Cook at Kershaw Correctional Institution in Kershaw, S.C. They not only ministered to inmates, but helped prepare a celebratory feast for a large group of them that took part in a special program called Prison to Society.
“I have nothing but good things to say about Pastor Teeter and New Destiny Community Church,” Cook said. “They are very gracious and the volunteers bring light to this prison.”
In addition to his own congreation, Teeter also enlisted the aid of several other churches to help in the campaign, including New Destiny Community Church’s mother church, Lake Wylie Christian Assembly.
Prison to Society was set up at Kershaw Correctional Institution two years ago to help inmates get ready for a successful transition back into everyday life. About 100 inmates are involved in the program at Kershaw Correctional Institution, and most are due for release in a year or so.
The faith-based program connects inmates with positive role models, families and churches like New Destiny Community Church.
“It is interesting to see how the power of the Gospel can change lives,” Teeter said.
The program also hones the intellectual and life skills of the participants by offering General Education Development classes as well as courses in anger management, employability, managing finances, communication skills, and self-discipline.
After they’re released, former inmates can still find help from Prison to society with issues like clothing and job search.
The effort that inmates put into the program pays off in many ways, including the graduation dinner ceremony. Besides ministering to the spiritual side of things at Kershaw Correction Institution, Teeter and about 16 members of his congregation also contributed by preparing the dinner.
“We made fried chicken with all the trimmings,” Teeter said. “It was just to show them how much their hard work and good behavior was appreciated. They said it was a real blessing.”
An extra treat during the dinner was music by three women from the ministry team.
All the work that Teeter and his crew have done at Kershaw Correctional Institution has been well-received.
“Churches like New Destiny Community Church truly make a difference in the lives of our inmates,” said Warden Cecelia Reynolds. “We are blessed by having them come and volunteer in events such as the graduation dinner.”
Teeter said he sees New Destiny doing more prison outreach work at Kershaw Correctional Institution sometime soon.
“We plan to hold a holiday dinner on Dec. 2 for members of the general prison population that have shown good behavior,” Teeter said. “It will be a good meal with turkey and ham. We will also present a gospel Christmas message and music.”
New Destiny Community Church meets Sunday evenings at 6 p.m. at The Club at Westport, 2525 Shanklin Lane. Anyone interested in the church or volunteering in its programs can visit the church website at www.newdestinydenver.org.
