Open Arms Ministry, Post Prison Ministries

 

Each year, in America, approximately 700,000 inmates are released from jails or prisons. More than 10% of those men and women have made decisions to follow Jesus. Unfortunately approximately 70% percent of these men and women will return to jail or prison within three years, statisticlly. Thus comes the phrase "jail house religion".

(defininition of jailhouse religion) Someone who uses God to get them out of the jailhouse.

May I present to you the truth? The truth is, a majority of these men and women truly make a decision to follow Jesus. Unfortunately, many do not make it because they have no support system. This is the mission of Open arms ministry. We are showing these men and women that they are not castaways, but are just as important to God as you and I.
