Prison ministry Why a believer should become involved in prison ministry: * Prison ministry has a direct Scriptural mandate. Read Matthew: 25:31-40; Isaiah 42:7; Isaiah 61:1; 1 Peter 3:19. * Prison ministry is one of the largest spiritual harvest fields as there are millions of inmates, many of whom are genuinely seeking change and stability in their lives. Chaplains can only minister to a fraction of the inmates in their care. They cannot do all the work themselves and do not have the time and resources for that. * False religions and cults are rife in prisons and we must get to prisoners first with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. * Prison ministry breathes new life into church evangelism and outreach programs, because spiritually hungry inmates usually come to the Christian volunteer in prison and often in huge numbers. * Prison ministry enhances worship as many prison volunteers receive a renewed vision for worship while attending church services behind the walls.
