Extreme Rescue

“Extreme Rescue” Four years ago this summer I had the opportunity to teach a group of twenty inmates at the Newton Correctional Facility in Newton, Iowa. During those three months the Lord lit a fire in my heart for prison ministry. Two weeks ago I accepted a position as Assistant Director of “Grace without Borders” Prison Ministries. At this time, it is a volunteer position. I will be ministering in several of the prisons around Arkansas preaching, discipling, counseling, teaching and being a pastor to inmates. It is with a great sense of anticipation and excitement that I enter into this next phase of my life and ministry ….. “Extreme Rescue”.

1999 - God moves in the heart of Rod and Jeanne Brouwer, and they both accept Him as Lord and Savior. Rod leaves Maytag Corporation. - Rod becomes involved with Prison Fellowship with IFI. 2007 -The Brouwers moved to Arkansas and continue IFI ministry. 2008 - Rod began a new ministry called Grace without Borders prison ministry. Since the first of this year 195 inmates have prayed to receive Christ as their personal Savior. Of those men, 59 have been baptized and many of them are in discipleship studies conducted by “Grace without Borders” volunteers from a variety of churches in the central Arkansas area.
