Larimer County Detention Center
Fort Collins, Colorado

It was a number of years ago when God orchestrated a divine appointment for me with a gentleman named Jeff Monson.  I was a guest speaker at a church in Fort Collins and Jeff was a guest visiting that day.  Little did we know what God had planned for our lives?  Jeff was very involved in prison ministry here in Colorado and the thought of me being involved in prison ministry never crossed my mind.  And then God moved!!!!!  During the service the Holy Spirit spoke to Jeff’s heart and said, “You and Bob need to get together.”  Jeff listened, we met for coffee and the rest is history.  We have been doing jail and prison ministry together ever since.

Today, in the Larimer County Jail, Empty Tomb Ministries has a very vibrant and active ministry touching many lives each week.  We have assembled a wonderful team of volunteers who have played a very important part of this dynamic ministry.  On Monday and Thursday afternoons each week, we enter the jail and present our Authentic Manhood program.  It is a video series on many different topics that affect men in today’s world.  We originally started with one day a week, but because of demand and growth we were asked to prayerfully consider coming in one more day each week.  In my wildest dreams I would never have believed what God was going to do.  The power of His Word and the sacrifice of our team has touched so many lives these past few years.  As we make ourselves available to the work of God, He is going to use us in ways we never thought or dreamed
