Childrens Bible Society - Operation Light

Operation Light is an outreach of Childrens Bible Society to the children of Inmates. Many wonderful ministries presently reach out to those in correctional facilities but few minister to the kids they leave behind. We will do this by supplying inmates with a simple form they fill-out and send to us. We will then include their personal letter along with a Bible story coloring book and mail it to their child, grandchild, niece, or nephew. Our books are beautifully illustrated by ex-Disney artist Norman McGary, and they tell stories of the Bible and have several scripture word searches that will engage older children and adults. Each book ends with a simple gospel message and an invitation to know Jesus personally. If you are a chaplain, or have access to inmates please contact us to discuss outreach opportunities.

Pure Life Ministries - Prison Outreach

Pure Life Ministries is here to serve incarcerated men and women attempting to live the Christian life and struggling with sexual sin. Resources for Chaplains and Volunteers It is the heart of Pure Life Ministries (PLM) that incarcerated men and women struggling with sexual sin receive the spiritual help they need. For this reason we provide chaplains and prison/jail ministry volunteers with FREE copies of our most pertinent books which minister to inmate needs. Please contact us (and indicate prison ministry inquiry) to make a request for materials and be sure to include a contact phone number. At present, we offer help in the following ways: We have learned that the best way to reach inmates in need is to supply materials to those work directly with them so they can also follow up with personal ministry. To date we have donated over 20,000 copies of At the Altar of Sexual Idolatry to prisons and jails free of charge. We do send materials directly to inmates that are purchased on their behalf from our website. It is important that buyers verify before ordering that the applicable institution allows book and materials orders shipped directly to inmates. Finally, materials can be purchased for a substantially reduced price directly by inmates. Chaplains and prison/jail ministry volunteers can obtain special order forms for this purpose via our contact form.

The Sheepfold Texas

The Sheepfold Texas provides a safe and loving environment where mothers receive daily, Christ-centered mentoring and care. Our three-phase program prepares mothers for independent living within six months. The program begins by establishing a normal daily routine for the family, next the mothers begin a plan to address their specific needs and those of their children, and finally our House Managers help each resident to establish a financial plan and explore housing and employment options. With our help, each mother establishes a means of support for herself and her children, develops and adheres to a budget, learns parenting skills, locates affordable housing and saves the equivalent of two month’s living expenses. After completing our program, she is ready for independent living.

Unlocking Adversities Association

Unlocking Adversities Association (UAA) supports the inmate and family upon the death of a loved one, regardless of religious affiliation. If an inmate is not allowed to attend the funeral: With the help of local churches, they will send a person to the service as a representative of the inmate and provide a single rose in honor of the loved one. UAA will write the inmate and family with information on the funeral, letting them know that the flower was delivered in the inmate's stead. If the inmate is allowed to the attend the funeral, but does not have the finances to attend: UAA will assist by helping them pay for the government required expenses to attend the service. They will continue to reach out to the inmate and family in the following months. UAA also provides additional support to strengthen and support marriage and family relationships during incarceration. Contact your Counselor or Chaplain to request their services. There is no charge to the inmate or families. WEBSITE IS COMING SOON!
