Greetings Friends and Guests
We are very pleased to announce the introduction of the Grace Prison Ministy web page. Here you will find updates and information regarding this ministry for the Grace Apostolic Church of Clawson. The founder of the Grace Prison Ministry Rev. Nathan White passed away in (2007), but the legacy of his love and ministry live on. Sis. Yvonne White, Nathan’s precious wife continues to carry this torch of truth to those who have gone down misguided pathways, but are now searching for a closer walk with the Captain of our Salvation Jesus Christ.
The Grace Prison Ministry consists of Sis.Yvonne White, Sis. Lori Stubbings and Sis. Renee and Bro. Patrick Henderson. Bro. Ronnie Barksdale, Bro. John Blaszyk and Bro. Jeff Breza are all a part of this dynamic and unified ministry.

Matthew 25:34 – 46
34Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.
37Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
40And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
41Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
Praise the Lord church. Make sure you check out the Prison Ministry Webblog. We update it every two weeks with details about this great ministry.
Bro. Patrick, Sis Rene: my next door neighbor’s daughter is sometimes “incarcerated” there. Her first name is Pam, and she told her mom that she really enjoys “church” at the jail. She might possibly be incarcerated there again tomorrow. She is in her 40′s. I told her mom that you were with the jail ministry there.
I have told Pam many times in the past that I have been praying for her. If she is there, then I know that she is getting The Truth!!!
Praise the Lord!! My neighbor Pam, came over today for a visit. She just loves Sis Rene and Sis White!!! She said when she was “incarcerated”, that the Prison Ministry was just soooo wonderful!!!! She told me that she raised her hands when she heard the message, and she told me that she “felt something”, and she said that she just felt wonderful!!!
I told her that it was the Lord, and I told her that there is church tonight, and she said yes, that she knew that there was, so just pray that either she comes with me, or gets a ride there!
She said that if it wasn’t for Sis White (she was saddened when she had found out that Bro White had passed away), and Bro Patrick and Sis Rene and the Prison Ministry, she would not be asking for help for her problem!
I told her that it was the Lord, that she is now confessing that she has an alcoholic problem, and that she wants the help!!
So I am praising the Lord that she is asking for help for her problem!!
The Lord has really given us an opportunity at the Macomb County Jail. It has been wonderful to hold Church services with the male inmates on the 2nd floor every other Monday. Coming in to this I realized there would be many that had different views of the Bible and who Jesus is to them. It is my goal to teach basic Bible truths. Since I have started ministering there I have seen several men seem to be excited about the Word of God and the possibilities of a better life when they get out of jail. Most of all I am trying to tell them that the Lord Jesus loves them. Please continue to pray for this ministry at the jail…
Thanks, Bro Jeff
Pam Gorecki is neighbor of mine, and she intends coming to church tonite and with the intention of getting baptized! She had been incarcerated and she reallyloved the “church services” there.
Hello Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, These past 2 1/2 years have been the worst in my life. But God is faithful in keeping me. I haven’t even once made a comment on how proud I am of my Brothers and Sisters who have volunteered @ the Macomb County Jail Ministry. They have been the breath under my wings! Thank you Lori, Renee, Patrick, Jeff, Ronnie, and we welcome John!
To those of you who may not know of the harvest since 1995 when Nathan and I began, we have had the privelage to see over 30 lives being water baptised in the precious name of Jesus and filled will the Holy Ghost. Currently @ Grace we are ministering to about 8-10 people from the jail, they too have been baptised. God is gracious and we are blessed!!! Love In Christ, Yvonne
Sis Yvonne:
That is so awesome. The Lord is taking note of the Macomb County Jail. It is such an honor to be a part of the Lord’s harvest no matter how big or small it may be. Picking up a person or just helping a soul get acclamated to the outside environment is all part of the process of soul winning. One plants, one waters but God gives the increase. After that we must adopt these babes in Christ and love and nurture them so they can learn the ways of the Lord…..Praise God I am excited. God Bless you!
