Our God is in control! ....Those five words enable you and me to deal with the chaotic and tumultuous times in which we live. To those who know Christ, they give us assurance and great peace.
“Transforming lives behind bars here and around the world” is the vision of Good News Jail & Prison Ministry. Fifty years ago it was the vision of our Founder, Dr. Bill Simmer, and it’s our vision today. It drives everything we do as chaplains, and staff that support them. It’s what motivates people to get involved, as volunteers and financial supporters.
As we have stayed true to that vision, God has allowed Good News Jail & Prison Ministry to become the leading provider of Christian chaplains to jails and prisons worldwide -- chaplains who consistently deliver life changing ministry to inmates.
Is it working? Yes, because God is in control! From January through September this year, our chaplains have reported 105,458 individuals who have decided to place their faith in Christ, or recommit their lives to Him. That’s the power of God at work.
Does it last? As one who trusted Christ behind bars many years ago, I know for certain it does. But, let me tell you about a man named Dean. Like you, he prays for and supports Good News Jail & Prison Ministry. He knows first hand the value of our chaplains, for one led him to Christ while Dean was an inmate in a central Florida
Today Dean is a successful building contractor, owning his own company as a responsible employer and is a leader in the Christian community in central Florida
Does it last? For Dean and me and for thousands and thousands of others just like us over the years ... absolutely!
