___ Trailer sought for ministry. Tri-Rivers Baptist Area, based in Gatesville, seeks a concession trailer or camping trailer with awning for use in a new ministry to personnel in the six prison units in the Gatesville area. Area Baptists are using the trailers as a means to distribute free coffee and donuts to prison workers at the time of shift changes. This is the first step in a new emphasis on ministry to prison workers, who often are overlooked by other prison-related ministry programs.
