Assisting Prisoners and Ex-Prisoners is Rewarding
Over a period of nearly 30 years, our Prison Ministry, for us, has produced more than 130 ex-inmates who have gone into the ministry. A dozen and a half are pastors of churches now, and serving in various capacities in their denominations and in the community. Every day there are ex-inmates on the streets who express their appreciation and inspiration from years of our work in the prisons. There are thousands of ex-prisoners in our records, who, when they meet us in the free world, take time to converse and reminisce. It is nothing to have a group huddle for prayer in busy areas of the city, even though they may not be doing too well in keeping out of trouble. When one fellow returned in a very short time to prison, I asked him: "doesn't the Bible say, 'Let him that stole, steal no more'"? He responded: "Ï didn't steal any more than I stole last time!" So we try to be patient while ex-inmates are still learning. Why don't you try it too?
Helping Men and Women as They Come Out of Prison
As soon as a person comes out of prison he needs special attention. He needs help to get documents together, to apply to sources of food and clothing, help and references in getting jobs. This means that people must take time to help them initially. Then, after about two weeks, they get discouraged if they have not found a job and are having other difficulties. Again, they need encouragement and assistance. Of course, spiritual development and church-going pull compassionate concern from individuals trying to help those who are still struggling to get on their feet after the prison experience.
