prison ministry

A prominent atheist organization is demanding that an Indiana sheriff’s office cease the promotion of inmates’ baptisms on its social media pages and is threatening legal action if such actions continue.

The Decatur County Sheriff's Department in Indiana celebrated the baptisms of some 40 incarcerated men and women just before the New Year.

Hundreds of female inmates recently surrendered their lives to Jesus Christ and were immediately baptized at a correctional facility in Denver, Colorado.

As our culture becomes increasingly reliant on stereotypes to define large swaths of the population, it can be easy for Christians to follow suit. It’s just simpler, in many ways, to assume that what a person believes politically, where they live, or what they look like is a window into their soul and represents the whole of who they actually are. And there are times when those assumptions may be pretty close to accurate—after all, stereotypes usually exist for a reason. We are called to a higher standard, though.

God has a long history of working inside prisons. The very first book of the Bible describes how God granted Joseph favor with a prison warden, something that eventually led to the saving of his family, the saving of Egypt, and the preservation of God’s promises to establish the nation of Israel. The book of Acts gives several accounts of God working in prisons. And, Jesus Himself said that those who visit and care for prisoners are actually visiting and caring for Him.

Last week, 24 incarcerated men graduated with Bachelor of Arts diplomas in pastoral ministry from the College at Southeastern.
