Goals of Prison Ministry

To share unconditional love

To present the Gospel of Jesus Christ in such a way that prisoners will embrace it and receive Christ as Savior To disciple new believers in the Word and teach them how to study the Bible To demonstrate the power of prayer and teach them how to pray To lead prisoners to experience the life-changing power of God, freeing them from guilt, shame, condemnation, and addictions.

.....I was in prison, and ye came unto me. (Matthew 25:26) The prison system is the only “business” that succeeds by its failure. “

...To open blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.” (Isaiah 42:7)

As Jesus hung upon the cross He continued His ministry to the prisoner,

(Luke 23:32-43) The result, a convicted criminal experienced God’s love, grace and forgiveness.
