Activities of the Congregation

Inmates participate in the annual CROP Walk at the North Central Correctional Facility.

 

CROP Walkers at the Fort Dodge Correctional Facility are enthusiastic about "walking because they walk.

"Nine times around the yard equals 3 miles. Many do more than 3 miles.

KJYL FM100.7 Radio Give-a-Way

 

In 2002, Jay Rudolph, of Radio Station KJYL in Eagle Grove, Iowa, called on listeners to donate small "boom boxes" to 28

inmates at the Fort Dodge Correctional Facility. This allowed inmates to tune in to KJYL and enjoy Christian programming.
