| WHAT WE DO
- OUR MISSION
To help men in prison reach their fullest in the Lord.Ministering to the spirit, soul and body, through one on one mentoring weekly, as their spiritual advisor.Jeremiah Prison Ministry began on November 30, 1999, and was birth out of a bond for a young man that made a wrong choice in life.Our
vision is not only be spiritual one on one advisors to inmates but to
preach in
the Chapels without the inmates having to remove us off their visiting
list! Pray that this will come to fruition. God can
move a mountain! (We will be reporting soon on the changes.)
We are believing God for as many as He will give us to be their spiritual advisor. The ministry has grown to 80 inmates ministering by visitation and or correspondence covering MI, MT, NV, OH, TX, WV and PA; we go into the PA state prisons visiting the inmates as their spiritual advisors (one on one mentoring) and in WV, MD & DE prisons when needed.
We minister to many lifers in prison. We ask that you would pray for them and pray for reform in the prison system across our nation.

| In this column you will be able to read our testimony of our ministry. * We were at SCI Mahanoy in PA on January 9, 2005. Oh what an awesome day! There was approximately 300 inmates in attendance. We each were able to minister in song, Tom preached a powerful message "First things First", one inmate gave his heart to Jesus, about 15 inmates rededicated their life to Christ and 25 to 30 men came forward for deliverance. God's mercy and grace was awesome in the chapel. Pray for these men to walk with the Lord.
"GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!"
* March, 28, 2004. We are praising our Lord and Savior for the wonderful service we had at Mahanoy Prison Chapel. It was an honor and a privilege to be able to minister in song and the word.
* I stand amazed at how our God is everywhere at one time. Our Lord inhabits the praises of his people in prison, in church, on the streets, in a car..... There was truly a Spirit of Worship there at Mahanoy Prison Chapel and the anointing of the Holy Spirit moved mightily.
* We are believing with the lifers for a miracle from God - I declare a new decree in the land written by Almighty God and place it on the Governor's desk! Speaking those things that are not as though they were for we are imitators of Jesus Christ, so we speak it into existence.
* I want to share what our Lord spoke to me. Tom & I were greeting the inmates as they were coming into the chapel and I began to weep... weeping at the number of men in prison (which in this service represents about 12% of the inmate population at Mahanoy SCI). Read column to the right.
* In 2003 SCI Camp Hill changed its policy for spiritual advisors to be able to minister in the chapel. We can only do one but not both and we do feel its important that men have one on one as some men have no visitors. So please pray with us for this policy to be reversed. (Update: Much prayer is changing this policy, more to follow).
* September 29, 2002, we had another opportunity to minister at the Prison Chapel at SCI Camp Hill in Camp Hill, PA. There was 724 inmates in attendance in the four combined services, we had 75 new converts and over 150 men rededicated their lives to Jesus Christ. We stand in awe of our savior.
* May 19, 2002, we ministered at the Prison Chapel in SCI Camp Hill, PA with around 1000 men in attendance. The Lord gave us 30 new converts, with over 500 rededications, and 99% of the men in attendance said the sinners prayer with us to make a new commitment to the Lord.
* In the year 2001, we ministered twice at the Prison Chapel in SCI Camp Hill, PA and over 180 men came to Christ.

* We pray for their families also, having a family member separated from you is not an easy thing. God is all merciful and full of compassion. These men have made a mistake but I am so glad that when God forgives the slate is wiped clean.
Let me take you back to the first time I entered a prison chapel service... it was at Camp Hill SCI. When I entered the chapel I begin to weep at the multitude of men and the Lord spoke to me in question form, "Do you know why all these men are here?" I answered, yes Lord they messed up - that's why they are here. The Lord replied, "No!" and again he asked, "Do you know why all these men are here?" And I answered, "No Lord - why are they here?" The Lord replied, "It was Satan plans to destroy man because he is the head of his home... physically, emotionally and spiritually.. If Satan has man imprisoned than the family unit is headless." I shared this with the inmates at Camp Hill and with inmates at Mahanoy because that same weeping spirit came over me and I knew they all needed to hear this. I told them as Christians its your responsibility to break this curse and cycle as Satan wants to destroy the family. God's first creation after Adam was the family. The family is the first church. Can you grasp a hold of this concept of what the Lord is showing me. God wants the family unit whole - not broken. So I curse this foul spirit in Jesus name that comes against every man, boy, women and girl to destroy the head, the seed. Warn them that are on the outside so they don't fall into the trap of Satan and then we won't need any prisons. Satan makes sin look good but only for a season.
