Keith Sultzbaugh Resigns

Yesterday I accepted Keith Sultzbaugh’s resignation from Friends Over
Fences.

Keith donated countless hours working with returning citizens by being a
Pen Pal to many men, helping to place them in housing, picking up and
delivering furniture and giving them work at his own expense and much more
that we never saw.

Keith will be missed and I want to thank him for his tireless efforts on
the behalf of returning citizens.

I know he will continue working with the needs of returning citizens
through his leadership of the Housing Committee for Capital Region
Ex-offender Support Coalition and the inmates he has befriended over the
years.

Blessings to all,

Stephen Sands

Ron James’ CHOICES The Movie Screening

Friends, I met Ron James years ago when I was speaking at SCI Pittsburgh on
a Sunday morning for 2nd Chance Ministries. Afterward he asked if I would
write to him and we have been good friends ever since.

His story is one of God’s grace in a man’s life as well as a man who is
determined to make the right choices now.

Keith and I have watched this man grow in the Lord and truly blossom as a
man of faith.

He has asked that we help him find places that will show his completed film
CHOICES so we are reaching out to you.

Would you ask your pastor to consider showing this at your church?

Would you Sunday school class sponsor the showing during the Sunday school
class time?

Does your church have a movie night?

Can you help Ron share his message of redemption?

Take a few minutes and watch the trailers listed below and I believe you
will see why this film will change lives.

And the contact Tj listed below to schedule Ron at your church.

Blessings
Stephen
