International Forgiveness Week
Wisconsin Dells. WI

MPM was happy to participate in International Forgiveness Week.
 
During the week, hundreds of visitors viewed the booth and helped themselves to plenty of videos and literature to take back home with them. Small workshops and discussions were offered to anyone wishing to discuss prison issues or needing help with a loved one who was incarcerated.

 
MPM also hosted guest speakers, whose pictures are posted below, with a small
introduction accompanying each photo. We are all "prisoners" in one form or another,
and each speaker gave every guest a special gift of love and freedom! Our heartfelt thanks to all those who gave so totally of themselves
to make Forgiveness Week a success. 



Tom Lagana: Well -known Motivational Speaker Tom Lagana offered a dynamic workshop and lecture to guests; he was available during the week to autograph copies of his latest book: "Chicken Soup for the Prisoner's Soul." Tom also makes guest appearances in prisons and jails around the country offering wisdom and humor to inmates.

Aba Gayle

 
 
Aba Gayle presented a story of tragedy overcome by Forgiveness and Charity, as she shared the story of her daughter's murder and the convict she forgave. This act of love began her prison ministry around the US, and especially on death row in San Quentin. There was not a "dry eye" in the house, as guests heard of her personal recovery from anger and grief through her faith in God. 

Robert Peck 


Robert conducted insightful workshops and discussions on prison related issues- teaching inmates and helping them lower their defenses and become more trusting in order to learn and heal. Robert has been a teacher in the prison system in California for 11 yrs.
