Let’s not let a whole group of people go to hell! "Do you not say, 'There are still four months and [then] comes the harvest?’ Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!” John 4:35 VISION - To give the Gospel, disciple, and teach God’s Word in jails, prisons, ultra maximum security prisons. -To refer men to solid churches and reentry programs to equip them for life on the outside. - To raise up and train others to go into their own local jails and prisons to give the Gospel, disciple, and teach God’s Word. - To get into the prisons where there are not many Christian volunteers, to the places that need the gospel the most, places like death row and to the violent offenders that are on lockdown. These men are the ones who need to hear the Gospel the most! Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body.
