As both the Programs Director here at Stone County Regional Correctional Facility and the Pastor of The Church of Turning Points in Wiggins, my heart is full today.
Jyra Cooper, who recently graduated from the New Orleans Mission and is now part of our Turning Points Men's Discipleship Program , stopped by to thank several of our officers who once played a key role in his journey of change.
Now, a year and six months sober and on fire for the Lord, Jyra’s life is a living testimony of what happens when correction meets compassion, and accountability meets grace.
I couldn’t be more proud — of our staff here at Stone County Regional, who continue to serve with integrity and heart, of our church family, who faithfully pour into these men, and of the men themselves, who are allowing God to rewrite their stories.
What a blessing to witness transformation — not just inside these walls, but beyond them. God is truly at work in Stone County. 🙏🔥
