At this time, 40-50 inmates send in their studies to be processed each month.
 
We have a weekly prayer group that meets every Wednesday morning.
We have a small group of dedicated prayer warriors who meet each week.

We have over one hundred email prayer warriors
We send prayer and praise reports to each month.

We have a yearly summer writing contest  (See our summer writing contest winners for 2010)
Each year ladies are given a chance to share their testimonies.  Inmates submit their writings and a team of judges decide which writings are the winners. The winning writings get published in our monthly mailing for June, July, August and September.  Certificates and a book that relates to the topic are given to the ladies that win as well as special certificates for those who had the courage to participate.



Many of the materials used by the Faith-Based
dorm were donated by our ministry.
Our ministry pays an annual movie licensing fee for both chapels in order for anyone to be able to show movies to the inmates.
