- Our mission is to let inmates know that they are not alone and that God loved them so much that He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die for them in spite of “whatever” it is they did (Romans 5:6) and has already saved them (2 Corinthians 5:19).
‘For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, ‘

Prison is a Dark and Lonely Place
Inmates are extremely lonely whether serving a short jail sentence of under a year or a long term sentence in prison. All of their so-called friends are gone, as are most, if not all, of their family. Many of them pray for any type of mail even internal memos from the prison is enough to make an inmate feel that someone knows they exist!
Inmates know the outside world has forgotten about them but as believers, we know the Risen and Glorified Lord Jesus knows them, loves them and died for them.
Our chief mission is to let inmates know that they are not alone and that God loved them so much that He sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die for them in spite of “whatever” it is they did (Romans 5:6,8) and has already PAID THE PRICE FOR THEIR SIN(S) (2 Corinthians 5:19). But they must believe the gospel by faith alone (Romans 10:9,10) in that “Good News” then God will step into their lives and make them a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). A new life with God, the Spirit living inside of them comforting them (1 Corinthians 6:19), strengthening them no matter what they face. (Philippians 4:13) With the blessed hope that one day they will be with the Lord Jesus Christ forever!
There is no greater news for the men and women who live day and night in a dark and lonely place.
‘But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ‘
Romans 5:8
‘Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.’
II Corinthians 5:18-19
‘What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?’
Romans 8:31
‘Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? ‘
Romans 8:35
God has neither left them nor forsaken them, and neither should “the body of Christ”.
‘Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. ‘
II Corinthians 5:20
‘For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. ‘ Romans 1:16
