A vital part of recovery is becoming less self-centered. That’s what Step 14 is all about.
If you’d be willing to write a fellow-struggler, please let us know, giving your permission to send your name and address to those requesting a pen pal. We’ll let those who ask know of your willingness. We’ll tell them nothing about you and you nothing about them—that’s up to you both. We’ll just put people looking for a pen pal in touch with those willing to be a pen pal. Are you ready to do some Step 14 work?

Prison Fellowship partners with local churches across the country to minister to a group that society often scorns and neglects: prisoners, ex-prisoners, and their families. God, unlike the world, has always chosen to identify closest with those who are isolated and broken. “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison, and you came to visit me . . . I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me” (Matthew 25:35-36, 40).
Prison Fellowship reaches out to prisoners, ex-prisoners, and their families both as an act of service to Jesus Christ and as a contribution to restoring peace to our cities and communities endangered by crime. For the best way to transform our communities is to transform the people within those communities—and truly restorative change comes only through a relationship with Jesus Christ.Links:

True happiness comes from hoping in God, despite adversity
Examples of what a prison ministry can do - taken from Madison Ministries:
1. Bible classes aimed at behavior modification, conversion and spiritual growth.
2. Correspondence courses aimed at conversion and spiritual growth.
3. Courses to prepare inmates for release such as “Scriptural-Based Money Management.”
4. Letter writing to inmates. Special guidelines are provided.
5. Church sponsorship of a Faith Based Honor Dorm. An Honor Dorm is a place to live for those men who want to change their lives. It has an intense structure where responsibility and accountability are taught. Each resident is required to be enrolled in a religious class at all times.
6. Family Night. Two special nights are set aside each year for Honor Dorm residents who meet certain strict standards. Friends and family can visit at these times. The church provides food and visits for those inmates who will be alone those nights.
7. Worship services are conducted Sunday afternoons in the chapel of Honor Dorm 16, which the Madison church sponsors.
8. Gospel meetings are held at the prison each year.
9. Personal hygiene items for indigent inmates that are provided through voluntary contributions by members.
10. Appreciation meals for the prison staff are provided periodically. Members of the Madison church serve these.
