Live Oak Friends Meeting supports the Soledad Worship Group at the Correctional Training Facility in Soledad. On the first, third, and fifth Mondays of every month, LOFM members meet with incarcerated men for worship, spiritual study, and singing. Occasionally, day retreats take place in the prison chapel, featuring Quaker history, Bible study, music, and worship.
From the article: What the Bible Says About Prison Ministry
“I was in prison and you came to visit me … I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.”
Matthew 25:36, 40
If Jesus were on earth today, would we find Him in the prisons, talking and dining with the most loathed criminals and outcasts? Of course we would. He’d be there “to seek and save the lost!”
The Scripture passages in this article give us insight into God’s heart for prison ministry. We hope you will be encouraged to follow Jesus into the prisons as well as into your community to minister to prisoners, ex-prisoners, and their families.
