KPM Needs Volunteers
Jesus told them this parable: “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.” [Lk 15:3-7]

When he [Jesus] saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” [Mt 9:36-38]
Do you feel called to be a good shepherd who helps the ‘lost sheep’? Kolbe Prison Ministries needs a lot of volunteers willing to be shepherds to minister to those incarcerated brothers and sisters who need help nudging them onto the path toward a right relationship with God. This is more than a temporal, earthly work of mercy, but also has lasting and eternal benefits for the inmates and for volunteers. Help to create JOY in Heaven!
