There are numerous Prison Ministries that need PEN-PALS for prisoners. We want the public to know the prisoners as God's fallen angels. Not criminals. Help them to heal with support, not vengeance. One never knows what the day may bring. It could happen to any of us, and we too, would want others to show compassion, understanding, forgiveness and mercy, as Jesus did for all of us.Support InPray for prisoners suffering throughout the world. Gifted individuals in prison/s want their work published/sold. Pray that they may receive the funds needed or find publishers to assist with publishing their book/s.
