1. Prayer: We believe this is a foundational value to the success of our programs. We print a monthly prayer listing that is widely distributed by mail, email and also here on our website.
2. Giving: Our ministry is funded by the generosity of churches, business, and individuals. Our Finances page shows the budget and the amount needed from generous donors. You can make a donation through our website on the Donate page.
3. Distribute: We have quarterly newsletters, monthly prayer lists, and other informative literature about prison ministry happenings and opportunities. Currently, we have almost 100 churches and community agencies that distribute our newsletters.
4. Resource Source Speakers: Director Del Burkholder, staff chaplains, and ex-inmates are available to preach, teach classes, meet with mission committees, men’s prayer breakfasts, community organizations, etc. to help educate the public about opportunities for local mission with those behind bars, persons being released and their families.
5. Support for/volunteer with aftercare/transitional ministries: We network with a number of faith based agencies that help inmates (men and women) when released.
6. Clergy approval for LCP/YIC visitation: About 2,600 one-on-one clergy (or other representatives of congregations) visits happen each year. Prior approval for visiting is needed and schedules are cleared through LCP chaplain’s office # 295-2089. For full information click on “Lancaster Prison” tab.
