Our Field:
Prison and Jail
2 Corinthians 1:4
"Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God."
“A locked door can keep a man from a chapel, but it cannot keep him from seeking God"-Unknown
​
Even behind the steel wire, bars, and the doors of prison men and women are seeking God.
​
Inmates may not be able to come to your Sunday school, church service, or revival meeting so we must take Sunday School, church services and revival to them!
Why is there a need for providing ministry services in prisons and jails?
-
The United States of America has the highest inmate population in the world.
-
www.theglobalstatistics.com citing 1.9 million total inmates in the US in 2025.
-
Federal prison population at 155,000 in 2025.
-
2023 Annual Jail Admissions at 7.6 million!
-
Males comprising 93% of the prison population sentenced to more than one year.
-
However, the female population has grown at a faster rate, now representing 14% of jail populations.
Why Prison Ministry?
Matthew 25:36 "I was in prison, and ye came to me."
The inmate no longer has the freedom to come to church or receive a tract on the street.
The message of the gospel must go to them!
Why Prison Ministry?
Luke 14:23 "And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel [them] to come in, that my house may be filled."
We must go to them and bring them to the Father!
Why Prison Ministry?
Matthew 28:19 "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations..."
There are nations of men and women behind bars and we are called to go and make disciples of these multitudes!
