Prison Ministry
I was in prison and you came unto me...
The Prison Ministry Team is made up of volunteers from various churches across Oklahoma who are committed to reaching out to those who are incarcerated in jails and prisons.
Goals and Purposes:
The Word of God says: "My people perish because of lack of knowledge."
It is the aim of this ministry to-
-Share truths from the Word of God that are life-changing and present these lessons in a manner so that the inmates will see these truths for themselves. Thus inspiring them to the learn the meaning and purpose and apply them to their lives.
-Cause the inmates to be so affected that they pass these truths on to others as they become witnesses to the change that God can make in someone's life.
-Remember that it is all about Jesus and not about us. God has put us here for a purpose and for His pleasure and we should put aside ours for His. There is nothing greater than being where God wants you to be, doing what God wants you to do and receiving His blessings in your life.
-Be a family for the inmates while incarcerated, help them to discover their talents and giftings, and to assist them when they are released in finding a Bible believing church.
-To help the inmates and their families, once they're released, become assimilated back into society.
Ultimately:
To reach out to one another.
