Volunteers in Holy Redeemer's prison ministry reach out to the incarcerated, extending the love and lessons of Christ to help change hearts, actions, and futures. 
 
 Our prison ministry participates in Kairos, an ecumenical prison ministry, which serves those incarcerated at the Texas Department of Criminal Justice’s Coffield and Allred units.  Our ministers visit these prisons to extend the love and lessons of Christ to help change hearts, actions, and futures.  All can support by helping with meal tickets, prayer and donations. Volunteers make cookies for the “men in white”, provide prayer cards, and visit with inmates during weekend retreats.

Have you ever wondered how you made a difference? 

Let me tell you how.

   God has touched the hearts of many men, women, and children in visiting Jesus in the dark places in prison. Many have asked how this is possible; and it is due to your prayers, your donations, your children's place mats, the meal tickets you purchased, and your prayers on the prayer chain. All have had a huge impact on the inmates because they knew they were forgotten, and instead they were forgiven and once again loved. 

   When we took hot meals into the prison, all the inmates could do was cry because they felt God’s love. When they saw a child's name on the place mat, it made them cry and they took it to their cell to keep. When they saw your prayer on the prayer chain, they knew they were loved once again. 

   You see my brothers and sisters, you went into the prison with me as I took your emotion, your prayers, your forgiveness and your love inside. Those three days inside I saw God's hand touch the hearts of stone and turn them into a tender heart of love. I can only say many, many, many men cried not just a little cry but a hard cry that made us all weep with Jesus in our hearts. 

   Remember God gets all the Glory and Praise we are only God’s tools. We, in Kairos, love the inmates, we love the officers, and we love each and every one of you.
