Cheering you on in this endeavor. Serving through jail ministry in my city has been one of the richest, most tender and fulfilling experiences of my life. Jesus’s presence is SO PALPABLE beyond those metal detectors. The spiritual realm is fiercely alive and active inside. You’ll make such an impact, and you will also be changed. The beautiful people you’ll encounter will stun you in the best ways.✨✨✨✨❤️ (P.S. If you’re looking for a framework, Jobs for Life is incredible to work with. We used their curriculum to teach job skills to our sisters inside.)
Love this for you. Two organizations you might be interested in checking out that are doing great work are The Ennegram Prison Project based in California. They combine a curriculum of the Enneagram, Addiction and Trauma Healing and go into prisons. They are not faith based but some of the people they have trained are. Also Thistle Farms in Nashville. They have a two year program for women many of them coming out of prison or off the streets. They have a sister community called Bloom in Bangor Pa that I’m especially a cheerleader for ( I was involved with starting program from the beginning until we moved away…still lots of FOMO) They are also a two year program and have started going in to the prisons and working with the women before they get out called Bloom on the Inside…I’m not sure where you are located
But they both have sister communities all over the country. Would be happy to help you contact or answer any questions.
