The Criminal Justice Ministry is still the
largest mission effort of Discipleship
Training. BAGBR continues to led
three, thirteen-week semesters at La. State
Penitentiary at Angola, Elayn Hunt
Correctional Facility (St. Gabriel) and La.
Correctional Institute for Women (St.
Gabriel). We maintained a semester average
of 255 to 300 this year.
The three ministries are greatly
strengthening the Body-of-Christ, which is
empowering the inmates to more effectively
share the gospel with lost men and women in
the various camps.
Please pray over the incredible expansion of
this ministry in all the area prisons. The
open doors call for at least 40 new people
to be a part of this ministry this year.
God is opening doors faster than we have
spiritual soldiers to invest. The
advancement will need new vision, soldiers
and financing. God is at work in
Criminal Justice Reform. We must join
Him there.

Strategy:
Prayer:
Bring light into a dark place.
Grow the Body-of-Christ in prisons around
LA:
Lost people see Jesus when the Body-of-Christ lives out of
His love and truth.
Do Sequential Discipleship:
We still need men to facilitate these courses in the
prison. We place one free person with
ten prisoners for each semester, so you can
see how great our manpower needs are.
Do three, thirteen-week semesters per year.
After Care:
To recruit churches and mentors for continued discipleship
and training for the men and women who have
been released.

units.
ENLIST

Please pray! No servant-of-God can have
much of an impact without strong prayer
support. Only Jesus can change the prison
system and only Jesus can change the
individual offender. |
