Want to get involved in prison ministry?
Prison ministry is an important outreach. And as the stories of Rick Fleck, Timothy Booth (see story "She Kept Writing," on this Web site), and those whose lives they've touched show, the blessings from "prison ministry" to be enjoyed are far reaching—they go way beyond prison walls.

If you are interested in learning more (about the types of things prisoners need while incarcerated, types of literature they can receive, etc.), and where you could visit an inmate, the following Web sites should be helpful.

Correctional Chaplaincy represents the fastest growing group of professional chaplains. In prisons and other correctional facilities Adventist Chaplains can be found living the words of Christ "I was in prison, and you came unto me." These men and women are key members of the correctional care team as they bring the grace of God to inmates who need Christ and rehabilitation so they can return to a productive role in society. Chaplains go where most others cannot, including death row, to do the tasks as a ministers of the Gospel. Visit this Website to learn more about chaplains in your area.
