"Chaplain, you're the only ministry coming to our facility that is coming to tell us anything about Jesus! Thank you for coming and helping us understand what it is to have a real relationship with God!" This was a statement I received from an inmate at the OFC facility. We have our newest work going on there at Vinita. Chaplain Rich and I are both holding meetings there and the Lord is moving in the hearts and lives of the inmates. Thank you for your prayers and involvement in this important work.
I want to share just a few of the results of our recent Prison Discipleship Board meeting. These yearly meetings allow us to share what the Lord has done over the past year and share the ongoing needs and oppertunities of the work. Our outreach and ministry results for 2025 was 9,603 inmates receiving ministry, with New Births in Christ totaling at least 651 inmates and a total of 37,570 miles covered. The Lord did all this with a drop of over $10,000 of yearly income to $70,579 for 2025. I thank the Lord for all He does through all of us together.
Pray the Lord will lead others to join us to grow the outreach and discipleship. Doors are open to us. We need His supply of people and funds. You are so important to us and the Lord has created a great ministry that is touching so many lives through us. Thank you!
In His limitless love for our prisoners,
Dr. Steve Bradshaw, President P.D.
