If you're looking for a way to answer Christ's call to visit those in prison, be sure to check out GraceInside, www.graceinside.org.
For nearly a century this
unique ministry has changed the lives of thousands of offenders
throughout Virginia.
By distributing Bibles, conducting worship services, providing counseling and coordinating volunteer programs, GraceInside's chaplains are like lighthouses beckoning toward a new port for the 30,000 currently incarcerated in Virginia's state prison system. Prisons can be treacherous seas, but they can also be transformative ones.
Virginia is unique in that chaplains are not state employees. Chaplains are privately funded by caring individuals, churches, denominations, foundations and businesses. GraceInside's mission is to provide full-time chaplains in all of Virginia's state adult and juvenile prison facilities.
