First Tennessee Wings Prison Party

The first Wings Party in a Tennessee prison was held at TPFW in Nashville. Well over 200 people attended the party which was held in the prison gym. Deputy Warden Debra Johnson, Chaplain Yolanda Walker, and the corrections department welcomed us and treated everyone very warmly. There were 52 inmates, at least 41 volunteers, 26 children, and about 90 family members in attendance at the party, not including staff.

2003 Grants, NM Women's Prison Party

On Saturday, February 8, 2003, Wings held a Wings party in the Grants Women's Prison in New Mexico. The Grants party was our first one inside a women's prison. It was a tremendous success. Guideposts donated 400 hand-made sweaters that we gave to children of inmates. It was so generous of them and it was needed. It snowed in Grants during the party! We are hoping to expand the in-prison Wings Ministry with more of these. It was wonderful to see families coming together to worship, have fun, and share a meal!

2002 Los Lunas, NM Prison Party

October 19, 2002 was the day Wings held a Wings party in the Los Lunas Prison in New Mexico. Some of our previous Wings parties had young people from the Youth Detention and Diagnostic Center attend with supervision. The Los Lunas party was the first Wings party held inside a prison. It was a tremendous success. We are hoping to expand the in-prison Wings Ministry with more families coming together to worship, have fun, and share a meal!
