Our caring volunteers train, console, and mentor into wholeness people both in and out of long-term incarceration. Choose what you can do:
We provide the names of people who need to be lifted up in prayer as they are preparing to reenter the outside world as well as some who are facing multiple years of incarceration and others who don't expext to set foot outside the walls of a correctional facility ever again. This is a “no contact” position.
We’ll connect you with people who have asked for somebody to write to them. We’ll give you the guidelines that will help you to be comfortable corresponding with an inmate. No personal contact is necessary unless you decide to call or visit.
Go inside the corrections facility to walk along side your mentee as he or she completes a job preparation training course, develops an understanding of his or her true value as a human being, and learns how to successfully transition into the workplace culture. Then, continue to provide encouragement and guidance for a minimum of 90 days
following their release from incarceration. Be there for friendship, advice, emotional (not financial) support, encouragement, and contacts as your mentee reconnects with his or her family or finds housing elsewhere, gets a job, and begins the process of rebuilding his or her life.
Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms.
1 Peter 4:10
For even The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.
Mark 10:45
