Pastor Tschetter Goes to Jail

By: Byron

Pastor Curtis Tschetter of the First Baptist Church in Ogallala goes to jail but not as a inmate.

He had a chance to help with a jail ministry in the local jail. Tschetter said that he began going into the jail four years ago when a the pastor of the Methodist church was gone and not able to do it once a month. Soon it became a once a week thing.

In a few words, the jail ministry is a Bible Study that anyone in the jail can go to and hear the gospel of Jesus Christ. Tschetter goes every week to the jail because he says that it is important for everyone to hear God's truth; Tschetter wants to give the inmates an opportunity to hear what Jesus says. The pastor loves seeing the people in the jail respond to God and want to individually meet with Tschetter. He wants them to know that they are significant even though they did something that got them in a place that they didn't want to be. Pastor Tschetter plans on continuing the prison ministry.
