Evangelism 101: Home Based Prison Ministry

Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body.
Hebrews 13:3 ESV


Today's evangelism opportunity is a great one for those who may be homebound, or have limited time. Many of us are not always able to just go visit the prison and talk to people, but thanks to modern technology, you can send email to incarcerated people, through e-mail or physical mail. 

The Bible talks many times about serving those imprisoned, and this is the perfect opportunity to bring hope to people who have a lot of time to think and seek God. Prisoners get great joy just receiving a letter, giving you an open door to spread the gospel.
