The Word Among Us

PRISON MINISTRIES

Bringing God’s Light to the Darkest Places by spreading the message of God’s love, mercy, forgiveness, and promises.


Visiting the imprisoned can be difficult to participate in without special clearance or permission. If you find yourself unable to physically visit the imprisoned, try getting involved in a ministry that writes letters to the imprisoned or organizes retreats for them. Those incarcerated, and their families, can always use prayers.
