THE PRISONER
I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’…“And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’” Matthew 25:36, 40
Did you know?
The United States has the largest prison population in the world and also the highest incarceration rate. The American criminal justice system holds almost 2.3 million people across the federal, state and local levels. Over 540,000 of these prisoners have not yet been convicted or sentenced. While the United States accounts for about 4 percent of the world’s population, it has more than a third of the estimated number of people serving life sentences.
Here’s how we are making an impact.
Many of the CityServe HUBs have strategic partnerships with national recognized prison ministries and chaplain training programs. Churches are also engaging families who have an incarcerated loved one. Contact your HUB to discover how you and your congregation can minister to the prisons near you.
