"Helping inmates and ex-offenders Yoke themselves to Christ for salvation and changed lives."
Chairperson David Manos and Executive Director
Rev. John Rush
Welcome to our web site. Please look around and let
us know how you'd like to be a part of the Yokefellowship Prison
Ministry.
Purpose
Christian volunteers enter prisons weekly to facilitate
small discussion groups. Topical and Biblical studies, along
with prayer, are to complement felt needs surfacing in the
session.
Emphasis is on respectful listening and caring
relationship building, compared to “conducting a service” or
preaching and teaching per se..
The Gospel of Jesus Christ offers hope for the future.
It calls for repentance, offers forgiveness, renewal and
reconciliation.
Re-entry issues are of great priority. By discussing
topics about lifestyle and skills we can reduce the tendency
of a return to prison.
