The Goal

How We Serve

We offer the following services to women in Texas prisons or jails:

Visitation ministry
Correspondence ministry (Christian pen pals)
Bibles and Christian reading materials

We offer the following services to women recently released from a Texas jail or prison:

Housing
Bible Study
Fellowship
Pastoral counseling
Life Skills Training including GED preparation, Basic Home Care and Maintenance, Money Management, Basic Nutrition and Cooking
Limited transportation to such things as church services, recovery meetings and ministry activities

We present the Gospel in the love of Christ in its fullest to women in prison and getting out of prison, to enable them to come out of their brokenness into a life of peace and productivity by personal pastoral contact when possible and by correspondence when ongoing personal contact is not possible.

We provide transitional housing with a structured, supportive environment in which residents will participate in biblically-based programs in areas such as addiction recovery, healthy relationships, personal development, life skills and parenting. Bible studies, life skills studies, and church attendance will be a part of life in our transitional housing. Residents with addiction problems will be required to attend an AA- or NA- based program.

We conduct discipleship and spiritual growth programs to enable women to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ. We will do prayer ministry and spiritual growth ministry with individuals and groups.

We provide Bibles and other Christian books and pamphlets to assist in spiritual and emotional growth.

We distribute Bibles and books to women in prison, and visit them, and, in other ways minister in the name of Jesus. We will engage in a correspondence ministry to women still incarcerated.

We do everything possible to enable those to whom we minister to rejoin society as spiritually, emotionally, and physically whole and productive women.

Our ministry serves those who have made a life-changing profession of faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior; and, in addition are consistently willing to do what is required to make the necessary changes for success.
