Services
1. Local Church and Other Prison Ministries
(2 Timothy 2:2)
To aid the local church and other prison ministries, we have developed
a prison ministry "Starter Kit" that contains all the
necessary materials to facilitate and start a new EE training ministry.
This Lit comes equipped with enough material to train 10 students.
It also contains our new implementation instruction booklet, which
provides guidelines and procedures for class operation. Video and
aids, which present the class lectures of the current training materials,
are also included in the kit.
EE Clinic Certification is not required to use the Kit, but it
is required to purchase it. However, if your church or ministry
does not have EE Clinic Certification, you may contact the us and
we will assist you in making arrangements to attend the next prison
ministry clinic

2. Family Services (Matthew 5:9) (II Cor.
5:18)
These Program Volunteers (PV) minister to the inmate’s family;
with intent of bringing reconciliation to broken family relationships
that involve the inmate. In addition, the PV's interaction with
the family focuses on building the family up spiritually with the
hope of providing a strong "spiritual" home-base"
to which the inmate can return. Contact with family is primarily
via letter; however, when family is local some in-home visits might
be necessary. PV is to minister to the needs of the family as God
so leads; keeping them informed of the spiritual growth of the inmate
as well as sharing the "spiritual food", (church sermons,
seminar tapes and literature, etc.) given them.
3. Lobbying and Advocacy (II Cor. 5:20)
These Program Volunteers (PV) minister on behalf of the inmate;
and shall conduct activities aimed at influencing prison officials
on policies and programs that will help reconcile inmates to past,
present and future community expectations and living environments.
This PV will be a liaison between the inmate and the prison officials;
with the intent of establishing and maintaining mutual understanding
in areas of discipline and prison policies. Contact with prison
officials will be provided at official gatherings set up by the
State Legislature as well as by letter, memo and/or petition. This
ministry acts as a support group to all of the other ministries
in that the ministers of the inmate’s subgroup will be contacted
for lobbying information.
4. Pen Pal/Prayer Partner (II Chronicles 7:14)
These PV's will minister by letter and prayer ONLY. The primary
focus in each letter will be to identify and discuss matters of
prayer. Here the inmate will learn how to draw near to the Lord
in prayer and supplication. The PV's in this group will direct,
build up, encourage, inspire and promote prayer in the inmate’s
prison and life. Prayer letters will be exchanged man to man and
woman to woman. Mixed gender correspondence is not permitted.
5. Prayer Letter (Philippians)
The prayer letter will be mailed to supporters on a monthly basis
and will provide current ministry news and information on special
activities.
6. Educational Services (Prov. 22:6) (Hosea 4:6)
This service offers the inmate instruction and development in various
fields of basic educational study such as
1. Reading and writing
2. Math
3. English
4. Basic computer skills
5. Moral standards and today's world issues
As resources become available we will add new fields of study.
