Prison Ministries
Greetings! My name is Lenox. I am blessed to work with Takoma Park SDA Church Prison Ministries. The Prison Ministry Program is led by the direction of the Holy Spirit through professionally trained volunteers. All instructors have completed at least two comprehensive seven-hour Prison Evangelism training courses. The Prison Ministry Evangelism Team conduct services in Cumberland, Maryland, Western Correctional Institution once monthly on Sabbath, and on Sunday at the Oakhill Youth Center in Laurel MD. We also visit the DC Jail periodically.
Prison is a vast mission field. Jesus gave us a commission in Mark 16:15 to go into the entire world, and preach the gospel. At the end of time, “[T]he King will say to those at his right hand, ‘Come, O blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’” Matthew 25:34 -36. Going out to the less fortunate, therefore, is important to God.
Prison ministry, like any other ministry, offers as many spiritual returns, as it offers opportunities. As you share the Word of God with those incarcerated, your heart will be filled to overflowing. But just like any other ministry, there is always a need for more workers in the vineyard. Whatever your talents or interests, I want to extend an invitation for you to come to the Takoma Park Church and join us in this important ministry!
