If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
Some
of
you
have
probably
heard
us
say
myself,
the
sheriff
or
any
one
of
us
who've
been
interviewed
on
the
news
since
july.
First,
we
talked
about
it's
going
to
take
everyone
working
together.
All
right
and
we're
gonna
explain
that
as
this
program
goes
on
all
right,
so
you
may
have
had
a
question:
okay!
Well,
if
it's
gonna
take
everybody,
what
are
you
guys
doing
right?
So
I'm
gonna
give
you
a
brief
overview
about
what
we've
been
doing
since
january.
First,
all
right.
A
So
on
the
technology
side,
if
any
of
you
saw
the
news
last
night
you
saw
a
article,
I'm
sorry
a
news
coverage
of
us
talking
about
stemming
the
flow
of
contraband
into
the
jail
we
came
up.
We've
had
some
issues
where
people
they're
very
crafty
and
when
they
want
to
do
what
they
want
to
do
so
we
have
to
be
just
as
innovative
all
right.
So
we
we're
in
the
process
of
purchasing
purchasing
some
tablets
where
they
will
have
downloaded
on
those
tablets,
bibles
qurans,
etc,
etc.
A
We
also
have
kiosks
that
at
the
at
the
jail
and
those
will
also
be
installed
with
those
same
type
of
materials,
we've
improved
our
records
management
system
that
helps
us
as
far
as
efficiency
and
getting
our
work
done
as
fast
as
possible.
We
can
and
get
the
most
work
done,
and
it
also
helps
with
customer
service
towards
the
community.
A
A
So
we
have
a
new
training
application
that
basically
tells
us
who
read
the
policy
who
acknowledged
that
they
understand
the
policy
and
they
sign
for
that.
They
understand
the
policy
and
they
will
follow
the
policy.
That's
how
we
hold
our
people
accountable.
A
So
we
reinstituted
programs
such
as
the
fatherhood
dawn,
the
veterans,
dorm
and
our
ged
program
we've
hired
recently,
and
he
will
be
starting
shortly.
We've
hired
the
first
licensed
clinical
social
worker
to
work
in
our
jail
to
administrate.
Our
mental
health
services
within
the
jail
960,
something
prisoners
and
probably
over
50
percent
of
those
prisoners
are
receiving
mental
health
care.
In
addition
to
that,
he
will
also
oversee
the
mental
health
services
contract
by
a
mental
health
services
provider.
A
And
last
on
that
jail,
we've
also
increased
camera
coverage
in
the
jail.
We
had
a
lot
of
blind
spots
and
that
had
that
added
issues
to
safety,
as
it
relates
to
not
only
our
inmates,
but
our
staff,
we've
added
cameras
in
the
jail.
And
finally,
even
though
we've
had
covert
and
we've
got
some
serious
anti-spread
and
anti-contamination
issues
and
quarantine
measures
in
place,
we
haven't
lost
one
prisoner
to
covet.
A
Our
sex
offender,
all
right,
we,
we
monitor
almost
700
sex
offenders
right
now.
When
the
sheriff
came
here,
there
was
only
one
person
doing
that
we
are
now
up
to
five
and
we
conduct
thousands
over
four
thousand
or
more
sex
offender
checks
a
year
and
it's
not
easy,
but
we
do
what
we
do
on
the
streets.
A
We
can
make
things
happen
here
as
a
as
an
organized
body
all
right.
So
I
want
you
to
keep
an
open
mind
and
I
want
you
to
receive
them
and
what
they
have
to
say.
So
our
first
presenter
is
going
to
be
miss
lindsay
reese.
She
is
from
hope,
harbor
and
they
deal
a
lot
with
domestic
violence.
And
no
one
in
here,
if
you
follow
the
news,
a
lot
of
domestic
violence
in
this
area,
especially
during
covey,
so
miss
reece,
is
going
to
talk
to
you
about
hope,
harbor
and
what
it
is
they
do.
B
Good
morning
I
don't
know
if
y'all
can
hear
me,
I'm
short,
so
the
microphone.
I
should
move
it
thank
y'all
for
having
me,
I
am
the
director
of
hope,
harbor
for
those
of
you
that
don't
know
who
we
are.
We
are
the
domestic
violence
program
and
shelter
in
our
area.
We
have
43
beds
and
we
are
one
of
the
largest
shelters
in
the
state
of
georgia.
B
They
even
turn
to
us.
So
what
we
do
is
we
have
multiple
programs.
We
have
our
shelter
program.
We
have
an
outreach
program
that
we
will
provide
all
the
same
services
for
every
victim,
but
they
have
a
safe
place
to
stay,
and
then
we
also
provide
education
and
training
and
protective
orders
throughout.
I
guess
2020
cove.
It
was
a
crazy
year.
There
was
not
a
single
day
that
any
of
us
worked
from
home,
so
we've
been
there
in
the
trenches
all
day
long
and
it's
caused
all
of
our
numbers
to
go
up.
B
B
Law
enforcement
supports
us
every
day.
We
could
not
do
one
single
thing
without
law
enforcement
and
I
think
the
partnership
between
hope,
harbor
and
the
other
agencies
that
are
sitting
over
there.
Law
enforcement
and
the
churches
is
so
so
so
important,
because
that
way,
we're
able
to
wrap
these
victims
and
services
and
wrap
them
and
protect
them
and
help
them
to
move
forward
to
a
life
free
from
violence.
So
we
have
very
limited
time.
I
could
hand
stand
up
here
and
talk,
lots
and
lots
about
domestic
violence
and
answer
any
questions
you
have.
B
I
have
lots
of
information
over
there.
I
have
crisis
line
cards,
I'd
love
to
give
you
all
some
and
I
have
lots
and
I
can
bring
them
to
your
individual
organizations,
they're,
just
a
simple
card
that
has
a
crisis
line
number
on
it.
That
is
answered
24
hours
a
day,
so
that,
if
you
need
them,
you
can
slip
them
to
a
victim
and
their
abuser
will
not
ever
even
know
what
that
phone
number
is.
B
B
A
Okay,
our
next
presenter
we're
going
throughout
the
different
issues
that
face
columbus
today
and
we
started
with
domestic
violence.
Now
we're
going
to
go
to
substance
abuse,
I'm
going
to
ask
miss
sheryl
cole,
from
the
georgia
department
of
public
health
to
come
up
and
she's
going
to
talk
to
you
about
some
substance,
abuse
initiatives
that
are
taking
place
through
her
agency.
C
Thank
you
all
so
much
for
inviting
me
here
today.
I
really
appreciate
this.
We
just
have
to
be
so
aware
right
now
that
you
know
covet,
has
caused
other
issues
in
our
community
30
36
increase
in
overdoses
in
this
past
year.
So
you
know
we
were
a
health
department.
We
were
very
focused
on
covet.
I
spent
I
started
this
job
in
february
2020
last
year
and
and
was
immediately
drug
into
coven
and
lost
about
six
months
of
my
program
to
this.
As
soon
as
I
got
out,
though
I
started
working
on
it.
C
So
part
of
my
program
is
to
do
a
lot
of
things.
So
one
thing
I
I'd
like
to
talk
about
is
expanding
distribution
of
narcan,
so
one
of
my
first
steps
was
actually
training
a
lot
of
the
non-profits
in
the
area
and
supplying
them
with
narcan
because
they
serve
the
at-risk
community.
Like
hope,
harbor,
and
I
recognize
also
that
churches
have
this
issue
too.
So
your
non-profits,
you
know
I
gave
you.
I
gave
everybody
some
of
these
flyers
on
the
back.
C
C
So
second
steps
were
partnering
with
new
horizons
and
a
methadone
clinic
to
try
to
provide
treatment
to
those
who
couldn't
afford
it.
If
you
don't
have
insurance
here
in
georgia,
unfortunately,
you
can't
get
into
treatment
unless
you've
got
five
or
six
hundred
dollars
a
month
to
spend
so,
and
then
we
partner
with
law
enforcement
and
first
responders
to
to
make
sure
that
they
understand
that
we're
working
to
improve
detection
of
overdose
outbreaks.
So
we
can
facilitate
and
have
an
effective
response.
C
So
that's
part
of
the
odmap
program
that
I
work
with
with
law
enforcement
first
responders,
so
we
want
to
have
early
intervention,
a
high
risk
for
overdose.
So
I
do
outreach
on
the
streets,
especially
with
the
with
the
homeless,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
teach
everybody
improve
awareness
and
availability
to
treatments.
So
there's
a
long
list
of
things
I
do
so.
I
am
an
opioid
expert.
C
I
have
worked
in
a
methadone
clinic.
I've
struggled
with
opiate
use
disorder
myself,
I've
recovered
from
opiate
use
disorder
and
I
understand
what
people
are
going
through
and
that's
what
I
do
in
my
trainings.
I
talk
to
people
and
I
bring
to
you
information
that
maybe
you
wouldn't
receive
in
a
formal
training
from
someone
else.
I
I
bring
to
you
my
story.
C
C
If
you
have
three
people
that
want
to
learn,
three
people
is
great,
so
just
want
to
also
let
you
know
that
we're
working
on
a
lot
of
other
things,
and
we
also
have
a
community
organization
called
copa
and
we're
going
to
have
a
meeting
next
week,
so
you're
invited
if
you'd
like
to
attend,
just
let
me
know
but
and
we're
also
working
on
a
opioid
outbreak
and
like
a
response
plan
for
overdoses.
C
So
I
I
receive
notifications
through
odmack
daily
about
overdoses
daily
in
muskogee
county,
and
if
we
have
more
than
three
in
a
day,
that's
considered
a
spike.
So
just
in
the
past
month
we
had
two
spikes
and
it's
just.
This
is
a
serious
situation.
Y'all.
I
just
want
you
to
know.
People
are
dying
every
day.
Lastly,
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
fentanyl
pills,
so
they
look
very
similar
to
a
regular
percocet
and
we
in
fact
cdc
or
dea
just
put
out
a
a
notification.
C
You
know
across
across
the
united
states,
letting
people
know
that
these
pills
are
being
of
course
made
and
then
distributed
across
our
our
great
country.
Unfortunately,
a
lot
of
people
are
taking
them.
I've
had
three
people
overdosed
in
the
past
week
on
these
and,
of
course,
they've
been
in
my
office
because
they
want
to
get
in
treatment.
They
don't
want
to
overdose
anymore,
so
I
make
sure
they
get
narcan.
I
make
sure
they
get
treatment.
I
make
sure
they
they
have
a
voice
in
in
that.
C
So
any
questions
like
I
said
anything
opioid,
that's
that's
where
I'm
at
so
that's
why
they
put
me
in
this
position.
C
Really,
even
a
personal
question
I'll
take
it,
I'm
scared
all
right.
So
again,
I'm
with
georgia
department
of
public
health,
I'm
at
2100
comer.
Yes,
sir.
D
C
I
understand-
and
yes
that
is
when
I
do
an
intake
with
someone,
because
we're
still
partnered
with
new
horizons
to
provide
access
to
suboxone
and-
and
I
also
want
to
talk
just
real
briefly,
if
you're,
a
diabetic,
you're
not
addicted
to
your
metformin
and
your
insulin,
you're
dependent
on
it
same
with
suboxone,
if
somebody
is
treating
themselves
with
suboxone
they're,
not
addicted
to
suboxone
they're
they're
treating
themselves
with
the
medications.
C
So
yes,
and
one
of
the
things
I
do
is
I
ask
I
say:
do
you
have
any
mental
health
issues
in
that
immediate?
When
I
do
the
facts
that
goes
to
new
horizons?
So
they
know.
This
is
not
just
somebody
who
has
an
addiction,
but
a
mental
health
issue.
So
and
sometimes
addiction
causes
mental
health
issues.
C
So
it's
a
real
it's
it's
a
it's,
a
balancing
act
so
like
if
you're
working
and
I
work
with
other
drugs
too,
like
if,
if
you're
taking
methamphetamine,
you
know
a
lot
of
times,
you'll
have
psychosis
from
that
and
then
once
you
discontinue
use,
you
won't
that
that'll
go
away.
So
it's
really
important
to
figure
out.
If
that
schizophrenia
type
thing.
That's
going
on
is
related
to
the
drug
use
are
actually
related
to
mental
health
issues,
because
a
lot
of
people
do
self-diagnose,
absolutely
okay.
Thank
you
all.
So
much.
A
Just
to
add
on
what
cheryl
said
in
the
jail,
we
also
have
a
program
that
deals
with
mental
health
and
that's
where
the
new
licensed
clinical
social
worker
comes
in
and
again,
that's
all
part
of
it.
Mental
health
evaluation,
substance,
abuse
evaluation,
and
we
have
a
program
that
if
we
can
get
them
out,
if
this,
if
their
offense
is
minor
and
they'd,
be
better
served
out
living
in
their
own
place,
getting
a
job
and
they're
not
a
danger
to
the
public.
A
We
move
to
get
them
out
of
the
jail
and
get
them
the
services
they
need.
So
they
can
live
in
the
community.
Like
everyone
else.
The
next
person
united
way
house
of
hope,
pat
frey,.
F
I'm
not
gonna
tell
y'all
I'm
home
for
good,
that's,
okay,
I'm
pat
fry
with
united
way.
I
run
the
home
for
good
department
home
for
good.
Is
the
collaborative
agent
for
service
providers
to
link
up
with
each
other
and
serve
the
clients
who
are
experiencing
homelessness
in
our
community
and
and
when
greg
was
was
up
here?
I'm
sorry
sheriff
we
went
to
high
school
together.
That's
greg!
I'm
sorry!
F
When
we
was
talking
about
collaboration,
I
sort
of
sat
and
giggled,
because
it
was
probably
about
mid-january
of
this
year,
where
I
said
you
know
what
the
collaboration
and
coordination
among
service
providers
and
law
enforcement
flip.
The
switch
january
1st,
I'm
here
to
say
way
to
go.
F
We
have
often
experienced
siloing
in
our
community
this
agency.
Does
this
this
agency?
Does
this
this
agency?
Does
this
and
never
do
we
cross
over,
and
then
you
have
some
of
us
who
never
knew
that
there
was
a
boundary
or
a
box
or
a
wall,
and
so
we
started
pushing
for
that
as
home
for
good
serves
the
homeless
population.
F
We
also
try
to
meet
the
needs
of
those
who
may
be
at
risk
of
homelessness
by
by
collaborating
and
referring
them
to
agencies
who
can
help
them
prevent
their
homelessness.
Talking
about
collaboration
with
the
faith-based
organizations,
we've
had
a
long-standing
relationship
with
mount
tabor
baptist
church.
Last
june,
we
moved
into
first
presbyterian
church.
We
moved
our
offices
four
blocks
from
the
united
way
building
into
into
the
church,
and
it
just
seemed
like
a
natural
fit.
F
F
It
may
not
be
us
who
can
help,
but
we're
also
connected
with
two
one
one.
Those
calls
are
answered
in
atlanta,
but
all
the
online
intakes
and
all
can
come
directly
to
our
office,
so
we
can
quickly
turn
around
referrals
to
agencies,
to
organizations
to
some
of
your
churches
who
may
be
able
to
help
in
the
community.
F
This
is
a
perfect
example
today
of
when
we
were
growing
up
in
the
60s
and
70s,
and
you
didn't
go
home
from
someone's
house
after
misbehaving
before
mama
knew
it
because
the
whole
community
well,
this
is
the
community
we're
that
collective
community.
Thank
you
so
much
for
having
us.
I
have
information
about
how
to
contact
us
some
information
about
a
recent
trip
from
our
constituents
in
augusta,
who
believe
it
or
not
wanted
to
see
how
we
do
it
here
so
kudos
to
all
of
you
for
making
that
happen
and
we're
we're.
G
Yes,
ma'am.
Thank
you
pat
for
sharing
a
scenario
in
this
question.
As
a
pastor,
someone
shows
up
on
our
doorstep.
H
G
F
I
don't
stand
still
very
well,
I'm
sorry!
First
of
all,
I
have
flyers
if
someone's
experiencing
homelessness,
whether
they
show
up
at
your
place.
They
call
you
on
the
phone.
They
can
always
call
the
the
2-1-1
number,
but
the
quickest
and
easiest
way
is
to
go
to
our
web
and
everybody's
got
a
smartphone
or
access
to
one
and,
if
not
hand
them
yours,
please
they
can
go
to
our
website
and
again
it's
all
on
the
flyers.
I'll,
be
glad
to
give
you
all
you
want.
I
will
email
you
everything
you
need
go
to
our
online.
F
It
takes
about
45
seconds
to
do
an
intake.
You
can
follow
that
up
by
a
phone
call
to
our
office
and
our
person
will
take
care
of
making
sure
that
assessment
and
that
referral
gets
done
immediately.
Number
one
number
two:
the
resource
guide
that
you're
talking
about
is
published
every
quarter
by
the
homeless
resource
network
and
the
most
late.
The
latest
addition
to
that
is
always
on
their
website.
F
It's
homeless,
resource
network
dot
com
is,
is
their
website,
but
if
you're
looking
for
resources
that
are
updated
on
a
daily
basis,
whether
it
be
to
do
with
homelessness
or
hunger
or
treatment
or
anything
else,
that's
done
in
a
non-profit
setting
and
faith-based
community,
you
can
always
go
to
uwcv211.org,
and
all
of
the
resources
are
right
there
and
again,
I
will.
I
have
collateral
material,
be
glad
to
give
it
to
you
and
always
can
can
give
us
a
call,
and
I
have
my
cards
as
well.
F
A
H
Good
morning,
so
yes,
I'm
jennifer
dunlap,
I'm
I'm
with
second
chance.
H
I
mean
the
full
name
is
a
second
chance
criminal
record
relief
community
outreach,
which
is
a
long
name,
but
we
assist
those
those
who've
had
georgia
arrests,
but
who
are
ready
to
move
on
with
their
lives,
who
are
have
paid
their
restitution
have
completed
all
of
their
terms
and
now
are
ready
to
move,
emerge
back
into
society
and
be
productive,
tax-paying
people
when
people
are
underemployed
when
people
just
you
know,
take
whatever
job,
they
can
get
they're
working
at
a
lower
wage
than
what
they
could
be
earning
by
their
education
or
by
what
their
dreams
or
hopes
their
aspirations.
H
Are.
We
there's
just
a
lot
of
despair,
and
so
our
tagline
is
for
hope,
mercy
and
prosperity,
and
so
a
little
bit
about
what
we
do.
Is
we
well?
Let
me
just
say
so.
Our
lawmakers
make
the
laws,
of
course,
and
this
year
in
2021,
there
is
now
a
path
for
every
offender
out
of
their
out
of
the
system.
H
H
H
But
this
year
our
lawmakers
have
done
additional
work
and-
and
really,
in
my
opinion-
it's
all
been
done
at
this
moment.
It's
just
a
matter
of
access.
It's.
How
do
we
get
that
from
on
paper
in
a
book
to
the
people
and
that's
what
we
are
here
to
do.
So
we
want
to
thank
the
sheriff
because
he's
partnered
with
us
and
thank
goodwill
for
partnering
with
us,
also
in
our
clean
slate
initiative,
which
that's
the
goal
is
to
bring
that
to
the
people.
H
I've
created
a
do-it-yourself
system
and
forms
so
that
individuals
can
have
that
access.
They
can
come
into
my
right
now,
they're
coming
into
my
office,
we're
helping
them
complete
the
forms,
we're
running
those
through
the
system
with
them
and
then
we're
watching
them
go,
get
those
jobs
and
qualify
for
things
that
they've
never
been
able
to
qualify
for.
So
that's
that's
what
we
do
in
addition
to
removing
felony
convictions
from
people's
history
this
year.
H
The
major
thing
is
for
people
that
have
more
than
one
felony
conviction,
they're
able
actually
the
first
thing
they
would
do
is
apply
for
a
pardon,
and
so
the
the
pardon
board
is
able
to
pardon
more
than
one
felony
offense
and
once
they
have
that
pardoned
obtained,
then
we
can
go
back
through
superior
court
and
have
multiple
felony
convictions
sealed.
So
that's
what's
really
really
awesome,
because
before
if
a
person
had
you
know
misdemeanors
on
the
record,
we
could
do
something
about
that.
H
Georgia
has
one
in
17.
Adults
are
on
some
form
of
supervision.
In
georgia,
we
have
the
highest
rates
of
people
under
supervision
in
the
entire
country,
and
if
you
ever
look
that
up
you'll
see
a
chart-
and
our
number
is
like
this-
and
the
next
state
over
is
like
half
you
know
of
where
we
are
so
it's
it's
something
where
georgia
is
giving
out
longer.
Sentences
than
other
states
and,
of
course,
people
that
are
on
probation,
aren't
able
to
vote
and
they're
deprived
from.
H
Of
course,
you
know
they
get
in
a
traffic,
stop
they
end
up
going
to
jail
for
driving
while
license
suspended
or
something
like
that,
and
then
they
lose
their
job
and
it
just
becomes
a
cycle.
So
a
lot
of
what
we
also
do
is
petitions
to
terminate
their
probation
early
and
that's
something
that
the
system
does
allow.
H
H
And
so
again
thank
you
for
everybody.
For
your
time
for
listening,
I
have
literature
here
we
do
have
a
longer
standing
partnership
with
goodwill
we'll
be
announcing
soon
and
we're
directing
everybody
at
this
time
down
to
the
goodwill
office
to
apply
for
our
clean
slate
program,
which
is
a
no-cost
program
to
anybody
thanks
to
goodwill,
and
thank
you
to
the
sheriff,
as
well
for
being
a
part
of
that
and
to
director
of
community
affairs,
john
wade,
who
met
with
me
about
that
and
took
that
initiative
to
the
sheriff.
H
So
the
applications
for
the
clean
slate
program
are
open
until
october
14th
we're
accepting
criminal
records,
they're,
actually,
individuals
come
there
apply
with
goodwill.
We
obtain
the
criminal
history
at
no
cost,
thanks
to
the
sheriff
and
our
police
chief
and
then
my
office
processes.
Those
documents
we're
meeting
with
everybody
on
one
day
november
4th
and
offering
them
the
opportunity
to
fill
out
their
forms,
get
that
submitted
and
get
their
clean
slate.
Thank
you.
H
Yeah,
so
no
we
deal
with
people
that
are
post
conviction
or
once
they're
they
have
a
disposition
on
their
case
or
if
their
case
is
so
old
that
you
know
some
people
actually
never
go
to
court.
I
deal
with
people
from
the
70s
and
they
still
have
an
open
case,
but
nobody's
ever
closed
it
out
so,
but
this
person
has
an
active
case,
so
they
would
have
to
their
case
would
have
to
come
to
a
final
end
but
you're
correct
in
georgia.
H
Nothing
comes
off
of
the
employment
record
if
a
person's
acquitted,
whatever
happens
with
it,
if
they're
acquitted
found
not
guilty
cases
dismissed,
it
always
remains
visible
to
employers
and
visible
to
the
general
public
unless
they
affirmatively
do
something.
A
motion
has
to
be
filed
or
expungement
paperwork
would
need
to
be
filled
out
at
law
enforcement
in
order
to
get
that
arrest
off.
Even
if
the
case
were
dismissed,
it'd
still
be
showing
up,
and
so
that's
also.
What
we
do
is
is
seal
those
matters,
especially
that
are
dismissed,
but
also
now
for
convictions.
H
They
can
be
sealed
without
the
use
of
first
defender,
if
they're
a
misdemeanor.
So
for
him
he's
going
to
have
to
come
to
a
conclusion
first
and
that
matter
will
continue
to
show
up
actually
after
two
years,
if
it
has
not
been
closed
and
it
still
remains
open.
If
he
has
not
been
charged,
it
will
automatically
seal.
But
if
he
has
already
been
charged
with
this,
it
sounds
like
if
it's
in
muskogee,
then
he
if
it's
in
muskogee
those
cases,
get
charged
like
immediately
when
they
come
in.
J
H
Yeah
his
case
is
open.
He
has
an
open
case,
so
he
just
needs
an
attorney,
so
either
public
defenders
office,
if
he
can
afford
an
attorney
to,
can
afford
to
hire
an
attorney,
but
definitely
an
attorney
would
need
to
move.
K
Good
morning,
you
said
that
you
have
working
with
the
sheriff
office
as
well
as
with
victory.
Are
you
willing
to
actually
come
to
some
other
visit
to
our
churches
and
be
able
to
do
some
types
of
seminars,
because
sometimes
people,
when
we
put
it
out
there
to
them
out
to
our
community,
they
feel
like
a
safe
haven.
So
to
speak,
that
I
have
several
people
that
I'm
dealing
with
that
in
my
church
now
they've
had
felonies,
they
try
to
get
themselves
back
together.
K
They
can't
get
good
jobs,
but
they
have
the
necessary
work
efforts
that
they
have
to
go
forth.
So
are
you
willing
to
come
to
our
churches?
Yes,.
L
L
How
many
of
you
shopped
in
our
stores,
how
many
of
you
have
donated
to
our
stores?
Thank
you.
So
many
of
you
are
familiar
with
our
stores,
but
may
not
be
familiar
with
the
importance
of
our
stores
to
what
we
do
and
why
we
have
them.
So
back
in
1902,
minister
egner
helms
in
boston
started
goodwill,
understanding
that
the
poor
will
always
be
among
us,
but
we
have
the
opportunity
to
help
them
with
a
hand
up
and
not
a
hand
out,
and
that's
what
started.
L
We
perform
the
majority
of
our
services
here,
although
our
service
area
is
50
counties
in
the
state
of
georgia
and
alabama,
my
responsibilities
are
for
our
mission
services,
which
means
I
get
the
pleasure
of
taking
the
proceeds
from
those
gently
used,
goods
that
are
sold
and
pour
back
into
our
communities
to
change
their
lives
by
preparing
individuals
to
go
to
work,
and
that
is
anything
and
everything
associated
with
going
to
work,
many
of
which
includes
partnerships
with
those
nonprofits.
Many
of
which
are
in
the
rooms,
but
also
with
clergy
and
congregations.
L
Like
yourselves,
I
have
flyers
at
your
tables
that
talk
briefly
about
some
of
the
services,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
you
are
aware
that
here
in
columbus,
we
and
in
phoenix
city,
we
have
two
career
centers
and
if
you
haven't
had
the
opportunity
to
come
out
to
our
midtown
career
center
or
phoenix
city
career
center,
I
invite
you
to
come
out.
I'm
happy
to
provide
a
tour,
so
you
can
see
the
resources
that
are
available
here
on
hand.
L
I
want
to
let
you
know
that
we're
very
interested
with
partnering
with
you
at
your
sites
and
investing
with
you
in
your
ministries
and
your
missions
that
you
have
we've
got
conversations
going
with
first
baptists,
for
example,
and
their
victory
drive
missions,
pastor,
florence
and
his
restoration
outreach.
We've
got
we're
already
in
the
community
working
with
other
congregations.
So
if
there's
something
specific
that
you're
interested
in
serving
your
congregation
or
partnering
with
you,
please
let
us
know
specifically.
L
I
have
with
me
today
my
colleague
glenn
challenger,
our
veteran
services
managers
that
work
directly
with
our
veterans
either
those
transitioning
out
of
active
duties
or
those
that
have
already
transitioned
out
of
active
duties.
He
will
work
directly
with
our
service
members
in
navigating
their
benefits
and
navigating
their
not
only
educational
benefits,
health
benefits,
their
career
choice
and
options.
It's
often
challenging
for
our
military
members
service
members
to
make
that
civilian
transition.
So
I
want
you
if
you've
got
members
of
your
congregation
who
need
that
support
that
he
is
available.
L
I
also
want
to
extend
an
invitation
to
a
program
that
we
we
have
in
partnership
with
many
of
our
community
agencies
throughout
our
territory,
which
is
our
voucher
program,
so
feel
free
to
come
and
contact
me.
If
you
have
a
specific
ministry
within
your
congregation,
I
invite
you
to
apply
for
a
voucher
program
where
we
will
issue
vouchers
to
you
that
you
can
distribute
in
alignment
with
your
own
programming
that
will
allow
you
to
have
your
recipients
to
shop
in
our
store.
L
So,
for
example,
if
you
have
a
ministry
that
deals
with
the
homeless
deals
with
families
in
crisis
emergencies,
that
individuals
may
need
clothing
or
wares,
they
can
shop
in
our
stores.
So
at
the
holiday
time
we
partner
with
law
enforcement
issue
those
too,
but
that's
also
available
to
you
as
a
congregation.
So
many
services
available,
please
feel
free
to
ask
any
questions.
I
do
have
my
card
and
contact
information.
Pastor,
chester.
I
see
you
in
the
back.
L
Thank
you
for
asking
about
the
bridge.
The
bridge
is
one
of
our
ged
preparation
programs.
This
particular
program
is
designed
to
be
a
an
intensive
12-week
program
where
we
not
only
prepare
young
adults
ages,
18
to
30
who
are
functioning
at
an
eight
grade,
academic
level
to
graduate
with
their
ged
in
that
12
week
period,
but
also
combining
it
with
life
skills
classes
as
well
as
wrap
around
case
management.
I
You
mentioned
veterans
who
may
be
incarcerated
at
the
muscular
county
jail
or
where
they
are.
Do
those
programs
work
directly
with
them
in
the
jail
or
do
those
individuals
get
to
come
out?
Because
there
are
many
inmates
who
are
veterans
who
have
issues
way
beyond
our
expand?
You
know
they
have
mental
health
and
other
issues
and
homeless
when
they
go
back
out
and
they
feel
more
safe
in
the
jail
than
they
do
in
the
streets.
A
To
answer
that
part
of
your
question,
we
again
we
do
have
the
veterans
dorm
and
there
are
services
that
are
given
to
those
inmates,
while
they're
in
the
jail
and
in
addition
to
that
within
the
next
month,
we've
at
the
at
the
muscular
county,
sheriff's
office,
we've
developed,
what's
called
a
community
resource,
re-entry
folder
and
everything
that
you're
hearing
here
today
and
then
some
will
be
included
in
that
folder
and
it
will
have
tons
of
resources
handed
to
them
as
they
leave
the
muscular
county
jail
and
they'll,
be
able
to
take
advantage
of
all
of
those
different
services
and
right
now,
because
of
kobe
we've
had
to
slow
some
things
down
at
the
jail
who
comes
in
and
who
goes
out
et
cetera,
et
cetera,
to
prevent
the
spread
of
covert
into
jail.
A
But,
yes,
veterans
do
receive
those
type
of
services.
The
next
person
we
have
two
more
people,
kristen
barker,
she's
from
better
columbus
and
she's,
going
to
just
talk
briefly
about
recidivism.
M
Thank
you,
john,
so
I
feel
like
I'm
in
a
room
full
of
great
leaders.
I
am
honored
to
be
here,
john.
Would
it
be
okay
if
everybody
stands
up
for
five
seconds
and
just
has
a
big
stretch,
because,
like
we're
talking
about
a
lot
of
stuff
right,
just
maybe
I
feel
like
I
need
to
make
you
do
the
hokey
pokey
or
something
yeah
and
turn
yourself
around
there.
You
go
all
right
that
should
feel
a
little
bit
better.
Maybe
help
digest
some
of
this
information.
M
All
right,
so,
as
you
take
your
seat,
I
am
kristen
barker.
I
am
the
program
manager
for
better
work,
columbus
and
I
work
for
the
georgia
center
for
opportunity,
which
is
an
organization
headquartered
in
atlanta,
but
we
care
about
communities
all
across
georgia,
and
you
know,
one
thing
that
we've
talked
about
a
lot
today
is
how
important
community
is
right.
We
can't
do
this
just
one
of
us
alone,
not
one
nonprofit.
M
M
John
house
is
very
instrumental
part
of
the
commission
and
a
wonderful
partner
in
that,
as
is
pat
frey,
who
leads
the
the
housing
subcommittee
that
resource
subcommittee
largely
is
focused
on
building
relationships
and
connecting
collaborating
with
the
faith-based
community
to
provide
resources.
So
that's
an
important
thing
for
you
all
to
know
about
better
work.
Columbus
plays
an
important
role
in
the
employment
subcommittee.
M
We
also
have
a
task
force.
That's
recently
been
put
together
focused
on
data,
and
the
sheriff's
department
is
a
very
instrumental
part
of
that
task.
Force
we're
looking
at
the
data
that
we're
collecting
in
the
community
when
it
comes
to
re-entry
and
how
we
connect
people
better
with
resources
as
they
come
out,
and
how
we
might
share
that
data
so
that
we
all
can
get
a
complete
picture
of
what
is
happening
in
all
of
these
organizations.
M
So,
whether
it's
the
georgia
department
of
corrections-
or
you
know
here
locally,
and
so
those
are
all
things
that
are
important
and
important
work,
that's
being
done,
I
mentioned
better
work.
Columbus
is
plays
a
key
role
in
that
employment
subcommittee
and
we
also
partner
with
the
faith-based
community
through
the
better
work
network
which
is
brand
new.
It
is
just
rolling
out
right
now.
The
better
work
network
is
a
program
that
provides
tools
and
resources
to
ministries
specifically
and
other
organizations,
as
well
as
job
seekers.
M
I
mentioned
how
important
community
is
in
partnerships,
so
I
will
say,
with
better
work,
columbus,
it's
very
important
that
we
set
ourselves
up
not
to
duplicate
effort.
So,
for
example,
goodwill
is
so
fantastic.
How
many
of
you
have
ever
been
to
a
job
fair
that
goodwill
puts
on?
They
do
a
phenomenal
job
with
those
job
fairs,
so
we
constantly
want
to
refer
people.
So
if
they
come
to
us
for
help
with
employment,
we
can
connect
them
into
an
entry-level
position,
but
we
care
more
about
giving
them
resources
to
help
them
move
toward
better
work
opportunities.
M
M
This
better
work
network
is
being
developed
to
help
people
who
live
in
communities
that
are
entrenched
in
poverty,
be
able
to
have
support
to
move
out
of
that
in
that
way,
and
so
you
know
ultimately,
we
believe
that
god
created
man
to
work
and
we
believe
there's
a
dignity
that
comes
from
that
and
that's
very
important,
and
it's
something
that
you
know
our
culture
has
kind
of
lost
sight
of,
not
just
people
living
in
poverty,
but
we
we
all
at
some
level
I
feel
like
have
lost
sight
of
that.
I
had.
M
I
was
talking
to
somebody
on
the
phone
yesterday
and
she
has
a
disability
and
she
wants
to
be
very
careful
to
be
able
to
maintain
the
money
that
she
gets
because
of
her
disability.
But
she
told
me
she's,
like
kristin,
I
just
I
need
to
work.
I
need
to
feel
value
in
that
and
that's
what
that's
what
this
is
about
at
its
core,
so
we
partner
with
jobs
for
life,
which
is
a
national
organization
through
that
better
work
network,
to
provide
that
type
of
training
that
is
really
focused
on
dignity.
M
So
it's
designed
to
break
that
cycle
of
poverty
by
focusing
on
dignity
and
value
in
community
and
to
build
people
up
to
serve
our
communities
in
a
better
way.
M
We
also
want
to
provide
on-the-job,
training
opportunities
for
people
as
they
they
complete
that
training.
We
want
them
to
be
able
to
practice
what
they're
learning
so
we'll
be
partnering
with
businesses
in
those
neighborhoods
to
be
able
to
provide
those
opportunities,
and
if,
if
you're
interested
in
knowing
about
jobs
for
life,
there
is
a
wonderful
video.
It's
called
flip
the
list
and
you
can
just
google
flip
the
list.
It'll
usually
come
right
up.
M
It
does
a
wonderful
job
of
explaining
why
this
is
important,
how
it
is
so
well
aligned
with
ministries
and
how
it
can
make
such
a
difference
in
our
community.
So
I
encourage
you.
Take
a
look
at
that
look
for
flip
the
list.
I
think
of
that
chinese
philosopher.
That
said,
you
know,
give
a
man
a
fish
right
and
you'll
feed
him
for
a
day.
But
if
you
teach
a
man
to
fish,
you'll
feed
him
for
a
lifetime
and
and
that's
what
this
is
about.
How
do
we
do
that?
M
And
how
do
we
come
together
as
a
community
to
do
that?
So
one
critical
component,
I
want
to
mention-
and
I
know
I'm
probably
talking
too
long-
that
that
really
you
can
play
a
part
of
is
being
able
to
build
value
through
trust
and
relationships,
so
better
work,
columbus,
we
train,
we,
we
recruit
and
train
volunteers,
to
mentor
people
because,
like
I
said
it's
not
just
about
the
job
that
they
get
now,
but
it's
about
helping
them
work
toward
a
better
opportunity
in
the
future.
M
So
we
are
recruiting
and
training
volunteers
who
can
mentor
people
help
them
with
what
they
need
to
get
the
job
now,
but
also
setting
goals,
thinking
about
what
they
need,
helping
them
dream
in
some
cases,
and
so
people
who
can
kind
of
coach
and
mentor
and
be
there
to
cheer
them
on
throughout
the
process.
That's
also
a
critical
component
of
these
jobs
for
life
sites
that
will
be
developing
in
our
communities.
M
So
I
wanted
to
mention
that
and
there's
just
so
much
going
on
john.
You
know
it's
hard
to
think
of
what
are
the
important
things,
but
what
I
would
say
is
today
we're
connecting
people
with
those
mentors
but
and
in
the
future,
we'll
be
helping
to
connect
those
mentors
into
these
jobs
for
life
sites
as
they
develop.
So
I
wanted
to
let
you
know
these
things
if
you're
interested-
and
you
want
to
know
more-
please
come
and
talk
to
me.
M
M
If
that
sounds
like
something
you're
interested
in
knowing
more
about
come
and
see
me,
I
can
share
that
with
you,
but
ways
that
you
can
connect.
You
can
encourage
people
who
are
business
owners
in
your
congregation
to
hire
and
to
offer
on-the-job
training
opportunities
for
people
as
they
need
those
you
can
help
us
share
this
information
on
the
volunteer
mentor
opportunity
you
you
can
partner
with
us
through
the
better
work
network.
If
you're
interested
in
having
a
site,
I
see
you
know,
I
see
howie
back
there.
M
He
is
already
working
with
us
to
help
us
develop
this
and
I
think
eventually,
we'll
probably
look
at
having
a
site
at
victory
mission,
and
you
can
connect
with
us
through
the
re-entry
commission
as
well
so
through
that
faith-based
subcommittee
through
our
commission
work.
There's
a
facebook
page
for
the
re-entry
commission.
If
you
search
for
facebook,
columbus,
re-entry
commission
that
usually
pops
up
pretty
quickly,
so
you
can
connect
with
us
there
to
see
what
we're
sharing
and
what's
going
on
and
to
communicate
with
us
as
well,
so
I'll
leave
it
at
that.
A
D
Yes,
sir,
once
again
my
name
is
ralph
and
you
know
here.
Therefore,
it
appears
that
the
criminal
justice
system
was
more
concerned
about
incapacitation,
deterrent
and
retribution,
but
I
wouldn't
convene
to
share
his
vision
and
all
of
his
collaborative.
N
D
A
Okay,
moving
right
along
last
speaker
will
be
reggie
lewis
from
cure
violence.
O
O
O
We
look
at
violence
as
a
health
epidemic
today.
What
we
see
in
our
marginalized
communities
is
that
people
in
these
communities
are
dealt
two
aces
and
that's
called
adverse
childhood
experiences
and
adverse
community
exposure
and
those
two
things
deal
with
poverty.
They
deal
with
lack
of
mobility,
they
deal
with
abuse,
they
will
deal
with
generational
trauma
and
these
are
the
things
that
are
impacting
the
people's
in
these
marginalized
communities.
O
O
O
O
O
We
use
them
as
interrupters.
We
actually
employ
them.
They
become
the
voice
of
those
communities.
We
train
them
to
help
them
understand
how
to
go
out
and
interrupt
retaliations
we're
up
to
almost
54
murders
in
our
community
and
a
lot
of
people
believe
that
it's
just
started.
I
can
tell
you
it
just
didn't
start.
O
O
The
second
part
of
our
component
is
we
look
for
those
who
had
high
risk
and,
as
you
heard
today,
so
many
of
our
services
are
working
together
to
reduce
those
out
of
that
high
risk
category,
and
the
third
piece
is:
we
have
to
change
the
community
norms.
So
often
we
look
at
law
enforcement.
We
look
at
the
mayor.
We
look
at
our
council
to
make
a
change
in
our
community.
O
If
the
community
doesn't
want
to
change,
it
will
not
change,
no
matter
who's
in
it.
If
you
want
law
enforcement
to
take
hold
of
the
situation,
we're
just
creating
the
same
cycle
over
and
over
again,
it
is
now
time
to
stop
taking
that
same
cycle
of
treating
people
as
convinced
they're,
human
they're
people.
O
You
ask:
why
don't
they
know
better?
Their
environment
doesn't
teach
them
to
know
better.
That's
the
difference.
Many
of
you
know
to
go,
get
your
tag.
Many
you
know
to
make
sure
your
windshields
are
not
cracked.
Many.
You
know
to
make
sure
your
tag
is
up
to
date,
a
lot
of
times
in
these
communities.
They're
not
taught
that
I
remember,
being
a
police
officer
riding
a
motorcycle
one
time.
One
officer
came
in,
he
had
written
seven
tickets
to
one
guy
and
I
just
happened
to
look
down
at
the
tick
and
realize
they
were.
O
O
O
And
while
sitting
in
windhill
baptist
church,
listen
to
an
event
that
sheriff
countryman
put
on,
I
went
home
turned
on
my
tv
and
cured
violence
popped
up
on
my
screen,
and
I
tell
you
this
because
it
was
on
pbs
and
unfortunately
I
don't
watch
pbs,
but
for
whatever
reason,
which
I
called
godly
divine
that
that
popped
up
and
myself
and
five
other
citizens
out
of
this
community
got
together.
Did
the
research
to
understand
what
cheer
violence
was
about.
O
We
have
the
opportunity
to
make
a
change
in
this
community.
Yes,
the
city
council
has
set
aside
500
thousand
dollars
for
thecube
violence
assessment.
If
we
come
back
with
the
right
assessment
that
doesn't
go
to
me
that
doesn't
go
to
our
team,
it
doesn't
go
to
some
outside
organization,
it
stays
here.
It
pays
to
people
who
will
be
working
and
be
the
interrupters
the
outreach
workers.
O
O
O
O
O
O
So
we
can
keep
fighting
each
other
and
trying
to
outdo
each
other.
This
cure
violence
team
is
here
to
bring
us
together
as
a
community.
That's
all
we
want
to
do.
I'm
tired
of
seeing
young
black
men
die.
I'm
sorry,
I'm
tired
of
seeing
it
so
how
the
faith-based
community
can
step
in
is
y'all
are
sitting
in
the
nucleus
of
most
communities.
O
P
Wow
this
has
been
an
awesome
morning
with
a
lot
of
good
information,
and
I
appreciate
all
of
the
presenters.
But
this
is
what
we
do
within
the
sheriff's
office,
because
we
realize
that,
in
order
to
deal
with
crime
that
it
takes
the
whole
village.
And
what
you
see
here
is
part
of
the
part
of
the
village
that
everyone
has
a
very,
very
critical
role.
P
The
clergy
community
has
such
a
critical
role,
because
not
only
because
of
your
outreach,
but
your
inreach
that
you're
able
to
reach
people
in
the
community
that
the
things
that
we
do,
that
you've
seen
some
things
that
have
happened
over
the
course
of
the
past
two
years
that,
where
there's
a
distrust
amongst
our
field
and
what
we
do.
But
yet
when
we
get
calls
that
we're
running
towards
what
people
are
running
from,
and
so
in
order
for
us
to
come
together.
As
a
group,
we
don't
want
to
forget
the
human
aspect
of
what
we
do.
P
The
humanity
and
as
I
listen
to
brother
lewis,
reggie
speak
that
when
we
think
about
those
that
are
incarcerated,
that
those
that
have
the
mental
health
issues,
that
these
are
human
issues,
that
these
are
issues
of
humanity,
and
what
I'm
asking
that
the
clergy
that
you
will
join
us
today
and
that
you
will
cover
us
that
you
will
walk
with
us
that
we
can
partner
along
with
you,
that
we
can
walk
lockstep
step
together.
P
The
bible
says
that
we're
living
in
critical
times
hard
to
deal
with
when
I
look
at
things
like
covet
things
like
losing
deputies
to
so
many
diseases.
But
one
thing
that
I
know
about
the
god
that
I
serve
is
that
he
gives
us
warnings
in
that
side
of
his
love
when
we
think
about
even
noah
that
noah
had
never
seen
it
rain
before,
where
god
told
him
and
gave
him
instructions
what
to
do.
P
Noah
had
120
years
to
build
an
ark.
The
size
of
three
football
fields
didn't
have
craftsman
tools.
I
know
that
his
wife
said
you
want
me
to
do
what,
but
he
had
the
courage,
and
in
today's
time
we
must
have
the
spiritual
courage
and
outside
of
the
church.
We
must
have
the
testicular
fortitude
to
stand
up
for
what's
right
and
stop
being
politically
correct
and
just
be
correct.
P
P
P
He
has
earned
his
work
because
we-
I
got
a
call
this
morning
early
this
morning,
that
we
had
that
we
lost
another
deputy
not
to
covet,
but
we
did
lose
one
that
had
a
heart
attack
this
morning,
and
so
I
thank
god
for
the
clergy
community
that
he's
partnered
with
that
that
those
that
will
continue
to
pray
for
us
and
what
we
deal
with.
Thank
you,
director
of
community
affairs,
john
wade.
P
We've
never
had
that,
but
in
the
spirit
of
what
we're
dealing
with
that,
we
know
that
people
don't
always
want
to
hear
from
the
sheriff.
They
don't
always
trust
the
uniform,
but
we
have
an
advocate
that
advocates
in
plain
clothes,
but
he
commands
the
respect
of
a
bureau
major,
but
he
speaks
with
the
authority
of
the
sheriff
that
he
can
help
to
bring
that
whatever
the
concerns
of
the
community
together,
we
have
our
partners
over
here.
P
Everyone
at
this
table
plays
a
very
vital
role
in
what
we
do
and
why
we
do
it
as
we
move
forward
in
these
critical
times.
We
ask
that
you
walk
with
us.
We
ask
that
you
cover
us.
We
ask
that
you
pray
with
us
and
not
only
pray
for
us
but
pray
for
those
that
we
protect
the
citizens
even
the
inmates,
because
a
lot
of
them
are
in
jail,
but
that
doesn't
mean
that
they're
all
guilty.
P
You
know
that
we
have
people,
that's
been
sitting
in
jail
since
2017
and
and
I'm
advocating
for
them
to
go
to
trial
because
they're
humans,
I'm
tasked
as
sheriff
to
have
the
responsibility
to
care
for
their
needs.
But
with
that
being
said,
I
want
to
thank
everyone
for
coming
out
here
today.
This
has
been
truly
the
day
that
the
lord
has
made
and
as
we
move
forward,
we
must
rejoice
in
today,
even
the
good
and
the
bad.
P
But
we
must
rejoice
because
this
is
the
day
that
the
lord
has
made
not
yesterday
not
last
week,
not
last
month,
but
he
wants
us
to
rejoice
in
him
and
he
wants
us
to
put
him
in
the
center
of
what
we
do,
because
when
we
put
god
first
in
what
we
do,
that
he
will
bring
everything
else
to
us
that
we
need
not
the
things
that
we
want,
but
the
things
that
we
need-
and
we
must
be-
that
god-fearing
community.
We
must
come
back
to
what
we've
abandoned.
P
P
P
P
Thank
you,
mayor
pro
tem
councillor,
gary
allen,
councillor
john
house
and
councilor
mimi
woodson,
although
that
the
the
mayor
and
the
city
manager
is
not
here,
but
collectively
we
work
as
one
great
team
together,
and
so
I
thank
god
for
our
relationship
that
we
have
and
the
things
that
you
see
it's,
because
that
the
vision
may
be
the
sheriff
but
they're
the
ones
that
give
me
the
financial
tools
to
make
it
happen.
Thank
you,
and
god
bless
you.
A
I
forgot
one
of
my
partners
can
I
can
I
have
from
georgia
strong
family
step
up.
She's
gonna
talk
to
you
about
some
of
the
things
they
do
as
it
relates
to
family
matters,
fatherhood,
programs,
etc.
She's
just
gonna,
take
a
couple
of
minutes
we're
a
little
ahead
of
behind
on
the
program,
but
we're
gonna
move
things
forward
and
get
you
out
of
here.
Q
I
promise
to
be
quick,
y'all,
I'm
kind
of
used
to
being
overlooked
because
we're
the
new
kids
on
the
block,
but
that
won't
last
for
long,
so
my
name
is
dorkus
woody.
I
am
the
program
coordinator
for
the
georgia
strong
families
program
with
me.
I
have
jerome
dingle,
he
is
our
fatherhood
specialist
and
our
program
is
located
within
the
columbus
health
department.
Q
We
are
a
federal,
healthy
start
program,
and
so
our
aim
is
to
work
with
pregnant
women,
families
and
their
and
their
children
to
work
on
health
and
development
before
during
and
after
pregnancy,
and
so
our
program
says
that
we
work
with
pregnant
women,
but
really
we
work
with
the
entire
family.
We
also
work
with
individuals
who
have
never
had
children
before
we
discuss
preconception
health.
Q
We
do
home
visitation
services,
we
do
case
management,
we
do
resource
connections,
so
we
do
partner
with
a
lot
of
the
individuals
at
the
table
when
we
have
families
that
need
something
we
help
direct,
that
referral
make
the
direct
contact
ensure
that
they
have
all
the
services
that
they
need.
We
are
a
completely
free
program,
we're
completely
free
program,
there's
no
income
requirements.
Q
Q
So
we
start
serving
individuals,
14
and
up
our
program
requirements
is
that
they
live
in
muskogee
county,
that
they
are
pregnant
or
have
a
child
under
the
age
of
18
months,
and
that's
it
like
that's
literally,
all
that
we
ask
of
them.
Jerome
runs
our
fatherhood
program,
and
so
me
and
my
ladies
on
my
team
work
on
getting
the
mom
and
the
baby
in
and
then
jerome
works
on
getting
the
dad
and
we
serve
them
as
a
whole.
Entire
family
jerome
makes
sure
he
focuses
on
any
needs
that
that
man
may
have.
Q
While
we
work
on
any
needs
that
the
mom
may
have,
and
then
we
have
things
together
with
dad
and
mom.
So
they
understand
they
don't
have
to
be
together
to
co-parent
if
they
are
together,
that's
great
but
the
baby,
and
that
child's
development
is.
What's
most
important
and
we
like
to
set
that
family
up
so
that
by
the
time
that
baby
is
18
months,
they
have
completely
understand
development
they're
able
to
continue
on.
Q
We
put
them
in
connection
with
like
head
start
and
preschool
so
that
they
can
continue
to
get
what
we
were
giving
them
during
the
time
they
were
in
our
program
and
then
we
really
push
health.
A
lot
of
our
men
do
not
have
health
insurance,
so
we
make
sure
to
connect
them
with
programs
where
they
can
get
health
screenings
on
a
sliding
fee.
Q
Q
I
think
that's
pretty
much
it.
I
don't
think
I
missed
anything
tried
to
be
quick.
Jerome
did
put
brochures
and
everything
on
you
all's
table.
If
you
need
anything
or
have
any
questions
about
anything,
feel
free
to
give
me
a
call.
If
you
know
a
family
who
could
use
these
services,
but
they're
without
outside
of
our
age
range,
still
give
us
a
call.
We
do
have
connections
with
other
home,
visiting
programs
that
serve
other
counties
or
even
a
child.
They
may
have
some
type
of
disability.
Q
We
can
always
refer
them
to
babies,
can't
wait
or
programs
of
that
nature
to
make
sure
that
that
intervention
is
happening.
So
thank
you
for
your
time.
A
All
right,
so,
in
the
interest
of
time
we
went
beyond
I'm
going
to
turn
the
remainder
of
the
program
over
to
pastor
michael
sherman.
N
Thank
you.
We
came
to
get
information.
I
want
to
thank
those
who
presented
for
their
information.
The
idea
is
that
we
are
spiritual
community.
Most
of
you
are
pastors
or
connected
to
pastors,
and
the
idea
again
is
for
us
to
take
what
we've
gathered,
and
I
thank
you
for
your
patience
and
to
take
it
back
to
our
people
that
we
might
empower
our
people
to
take
back
our
communities.
N
N
But
god
says:
when
you
pray,
you
ought
to
pray.
The
prayer
of
faith.
Faith
without
works
is
dead.
That's
why
we
ask
these
these
gentlemen,
these,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
to
come
to
give
us
something
to
work
with
now.
It's
our
job
to
do
that,
so
we're
going
to
do.
I
want
to
just
note
one
thing.
Three
things
happen
when
god's
people
pray
first,
there
is
incomprehensible
peace.
N
N
I
thought
I
was
talking
church
folk.
Our
god
said
he
has
all
power,
I'm
not
trying
to
preach,
but
our
god
says
all
power,
and
so
we
have
no
power,
except
for
the
power
we
get
through
the
power
of
prayer
and
then
the
last
thing
that
happens
when,
when
god's
people
pray,
the
impossible
becomes
possible
for
with
god
things
I
did
it
like
my
daddy
did.
He
say
for
with
god
some
things.
N
N
Addictions
will
be
eradicated
with
god.
Domestic
violence
can
be
eradicated
with
god.
Recidivism
can
can
can
be
eradicated
with
god,
god
can
change
things.
You
are
in
this
room
because
you
are
identified,
agents
of
prayer
and
change,
and
we've
got
to
make
that
change.
It
is
not
our
sheriff's
job
to
make
the
change
for
us.
It
is
our
job
to
make
the
change
to
our
children,
black
or
white
brown
or
red.
N
N
N
I've
asked
my
wife
to
come
say
just
a
little
bit
because
I
believe
in
setting
the
atmosphere
for
prayer
so
as
we're
preparing
to
pray
bret.
If
you
don't
mind,
we
we're
going
to
reduce
it
too,
because
a
lot
of
persons
say
they
don't
want
to
say
they
just
want
to
pray
that
all
right,
brett
and
so
I'm
going
to
ask
jimbo
if
he
get
ready,
then
followed
by
jimbo,
reverend
gibson
would
close
us
out
in
prayer.
N
N
E
E
R
R
I
wondered
what
part
did
I
play
in
this,
and
this
is
what
I
want
to
let
you
all
know
this
morning,
every
subject
that
was
discussed
here
in
my
upbringing
I
was
affected
by
it
was
the
love
of
god
and
the
love
of
others
that
drew
me
back
into
the
fold
and
revealed
to
me
the
presence
of
god
himself
through
his
son
jesus
christ.
That
brought
me
to
this
moment.
So
I
come
this
morning
to
let
you
know
at
the
center
of
everything
that
happened
in
my
life.
R
There
was
one
word
present
that
will
affect
each
of
us
today
and
that
word
is
love.
What's
love
got
to
do
with
it
everything
it's?
What
brought
you
here
this
morning
and
it's?
What
not
only
pastor
do
we
need
to
take
this
message
back
to
our
congregation?
It's
a
greater
responsibility
than
that
see.
The
bible
tells
us
not
to
lead
by
compulsion,
but
to
serve
as
an
example
to
our
flocks,
and
not
only
do
we
take
this
message
back,
we've
got
to
get
in
the
trenches
with
everybody
else.
We've
got
to
unlock
our
deadbolts.
R
We've
got
to
get
back
out
into
the
community,
and
we've
got
to
come
together
to
press
forward
and
to
share
all
these
wonderful
resources
that
we
heard
this
morning
amen
and
I'd
just
like
to
go
ahead
and
go
to
the
lord
in
prayer.
If
I
could
at
this
time,
if
you'd
bow
your
heads
and
listen,
it's
all
right.
If
you
make
noise
during
the
prayer
too,
because
sometimes
you
just
can't
contain
it-
amen
heavenly
gracious,
father,
father
god,
I
just
come
to
you
this
morning.
R
Dear
lord,
I
thank
you
for
every
voice
that
was
heard
this
morning.
Every
person
that
labors
dear
lord,
in
your
service,
to
provide
things
for
others
that
need
them.
Dear
lord,
I
ask
that
you
would
bless
their
ministries,
that
you
would
touch
them
from
the
top
of
their
head
to
the
bottom
of
their
feet.
Dear
lord,
that
when
they
come
into
the
presence
of
others,
they
would
know
dear
lord,
that
they're
surrounded
by
you
and
I
lift
every
man
and
woman
of
god
up
to
you
this
morning.
That
is
present
here
in
this
place.
R
Dear
lord,
I
ask
that
you
would
just
fill
them
with
your
presence
and
with
your
power
in
such
a
way
that,
dear
lord,
when
they
leave
here
today,
it
wouldn't
be
just
another
meeting,
dear
god,
but
it
would
be
a
call
to
action,
because
we
are
your
people
called
by
your
name
that
when
we
call
to
you
and
turn
from
our
wicked
way,
you
do
hear
us
dear
lord,
and
that
is
great
power
and
it's
a
great
privilege.
Lord.
R
I
thank
you
for
sheriff
countryman,
dear
god,
I
can
remember
the
prayers
that
we
prayed,
that
there
would
be
a
godly
man
in
this
position,
dear
lord,
to
promote,
what's
taking
place
today.
Dear
lord,
I
thank
you
that
you
have
touched
him
and
you
have
appointed
him
for
this
moment
in
time.
Dear
lord,
and
I
thank
you
for
his
representatives
that
you've
placed
around
him.
R
Dear
god,
may
we
be
faithful
to
pray
for
him
and
may
we
be
faithful
to
be
your
children,
not
just
pastors
and
ministers
of
the
gospel,
but
children
are
the
most
high
god
that
will
go
out
into
the
world
and
represent
you
in
such
a
way
that
those
that
are
in
need
would
know
we're
the
ones
that
they
need
to
come
to
because
we
love
them.
Lord.
