Service In Action

Front Cover of the Good & Evil Book

Over the past three years but especially the past two months, I have been heavily involved in prison ministry in California. I have even visited the North Kern State Prison in Delano, CA. I have made quite a few contacts with Chaplains across the state of California over the past three years. You may ask why I mention this and I would say that the reason is because I have seen the impact of the Good & Evil Book with those who are currently incarcerated. Chaplains also give very high accolades to the Good & Evil Book. Inmates love the book. L.A.M.B. Services receives an average of 30 letters per day from inmates requesting the Good & Evil Book. 

What Do/Did I Do With L.A.M.B. Services Prison Ministry?

I have spent my time pretty evenly divided between creating software programs for the project, reading letters from inmates, organizing monthly events for volunteers to send out the Good & Evil Books, ordering needed supplies, analyzing current operations for flaws and thinking of more effective methods, and finally contacting Chaplains for changes in the systems we have set up with special prisons & jails.

Here I am helping two other volunteers with the program we have built

What Is Meaningful About This Project?

What is really powerful and full of meaning to me in this project is reading the letters from inmates. Inside the letters the inmates will sometimes just write asking if we would send the Good & Evil Book. Other times the inmates write long letters (up to 16 page letters – our longest letter on file) giving lots of information about who they are, what they did to end up in prison, and how God is using prison to transform their life in spite of the circumstances.
