Prison Ministry: Reaching Out to Others
00004000
God can reach those in prison too. Recent studies suggest that religion dramatically reduces the changes for inmates to engage in altercations while in prison, and increases the likelihood of reform after they have completed their sentence. Those in need can be anywhere in the world, included your local penitentiary.
What is Prison Ministry?
Organizations like The Bible League of Canada and Crossroad Bible Institute offers a correspondence prison ministry Bible study course, a personal, in-depth and long-term program that is uniquely designed to help incarcerated persons grow dramatically in a life-transforming relationship with Jesus Christ, repairing them for and assisting them in successful re-entry upon their release.
How does Prison Ministry Change Lives?
Prison ministry does not only reach the incarcerated, but supports the spiritual needs of prison staff and guards, who work in a demanding environment. Inmates' lives are changed and improved while they meet volunteers and other inmates, and obtaining ministry resources. Prison ministry often extends direction and meaning to their lives and promotes a personal behavioral change.
