Inmates’ time within the confines of jail can be healing, and provide the insight and the strength they need to change their lives. The opportunities come when the Chaplain staff can meet with them, to share scripture and prayer, and in conversation where we can mentor men and women whose situations can be lonely, desperate, or uncertain.
Inmates’ time within the confines of jail can be healing, and provide the insight and the strength they need to change their lives. The opportunities come when the Chaplain staff can meet with them, to share scripture and prayer, and in conversation where we can mentor men and women whose situations can be lonely, desperate, or uncertain. Not only are these inmates dealing with challenges of the hardened culture within the confines of jail, but also their lives outside of the jail, and how their lack of involvement in their families can cause such inner (and outer) turmoil. Much of what they deal with is unspoken – and many turn to unhealthy thoughts. It can be easy to sink into the darkness of desperation. The Gospel, and the sharing of Christ's love is so greatly needed in the lives of the incarcerated. They need His transformative Light!

While teaching in the jail, I have noticed that there is rarely a need to convince a man imprisoned that he is a sinner. Many acknowledge there is a God, but that has no impact in how they live. We can help them to become men and women of faith, who know and accept Jesus Christ as Lord, and guide them on how to grow in their relationship
While teaching in the jail, I have noticed that there is rarely a need to convince a man imprisoned that he is a sinner. Many acknowledge there is a God, but that has no impact in how they live. We can help them to become men and women of faith, who know and accept Jesus Christ as Lord, and guide them on how to grow in their relationship with Him, and all that His love provides. My commitment has and will continue to focus on sharing the Gospel and helping these men and women learn how to change their attitudes and behaviors to coincide with a new Hope and new Life in Christ.

What You Can Do
The answer to crime recurrence and prisoner return is really more about a change of heart. In Matthew 25:36-40, Jesus singled out those in prison as one of “the least of these” whom we are called to visit and help. Jail is as much a mission field as any, yet the idea of going in to prison can be scary or daunting. It is my privilege to go
The answer to crime recurrence and prisoner return is really more about a change of heart. In Matthew 25:36-40, Jesus singled out those in prison as one of “the least of these” whom we are called to visit and help. Jail is as much a mission field as any, yet the idea of going in to prison can be scary or daunting. It is my privilege to go to jail, and do-so on behalf of many who are unable, or even uninterested. Christ admonishes in Matthew 25, “Whatever you did for the least of these, you did for me.” Together we can impact and forever change the lives of these families by sharing the love and grace of Jesus.
