NORMALIZING PRISON MINISTRY AT CHURCH

[link removed]

Ricky Smith is the prison team director at Rock City Church in Hilliard, Ohio. He has been serving those impacted by incarceration since volunteering with his parents as a young adult.
When I [Ricky Smith] moved to Hilliard, Ohio, I got plugged into a local church, and they didn&rsquo;t have a prison team. I actually thought that was a little weird since every church I attended as a kid into my teen years had an active prison ministry.


People sometimes feel like they need to have some special calling. Jesus tells us in Matthew 25, &ldquo;I was in prison and you came to visit Me ... whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of Mine, you did for Me.&rdquo;


Normalizing prison ministry is something that I&rsquo;m constantly trying to figure out in my current role. I have found Prison Fellowship(R) Angel Tree to be a really good way to engage families or potential volunteers who don&rsquo;t actively serve on our prison team.

POV: Volunteering in Prison At a Prison Fellowship Hope Event in California, it was evident God was working. One volunteer said she felt like she was invited into the prisoners&rsquo; church to see what the Lord is doing on the inside.
