Prison ministry is a must….

Prison ministry is one of my favourite forms of evangelism. I might be biased from having done prison ministry for over two years, but it just seems like one of the most easy and effective ways to bring someone into relationship with Jesus. Think about it…first of all you have a captive audience (literally). Most of them are dying to be able to just talk to someone and many of them are reaching the end of their hope in life and are looking to cling to something that will bring any kind of joy into their lives. I experienced this first hand while doing ministry in Stony Mountain Penitentiary a few years back.

It's for these reasons that when someone calls and needs Bibles for prison ministry, we will do whatever we can to make sure we have the funds and the Bibles to make it happen.

We got a call yesterday from a guard at a women's medium/max correctional centre. She told us that she was a christian and that she had a heart to share her faith with inmates whenever they gave her a chance. She wanted to be able to give them a Bible as a gift to whoever would be willing to read it in their cells. She asked if we would be able to partner with her and the chaplain from this prison.
The answer is YES. The thing that's makes this more awesome is that this prison guard wants to help us fundraise for the Bibles they will need. How cool is that!!

Looking forward to bringing them their first few cases of Bibles next week.
