Direction from the Director
Please take a look at the special map I’ve enclosed for you.
This map truly is confirmation of God’s continued blessing on Leading Inmates in Faith & Education – and the impact of your prayers and financial support on the lives and destiny of Pennsylvania inmates.




It identifies key cities where state prisons are established and where LIFE's  presence can go to enable concentrated, ongoing ministry to populations of incarcerated men and women.
Currently, we are in 20 cities of Pennsylvania.  Whether it is teaching or preaching or holding book clubs, we are meeting men and women where they live, engaging them with the good news of Jesus and equipping them to follow Him.

Karthaus is our newest city where the Quehanna Boot Camp is located.  It is the direct result of the Lord’s  blessing on an unprecedented campaign of recruiting and training this past spring.  The work of our staff resulted in seven new and eager volunteers seeking a way to serve God in a unique way.

That’s not to say that our veteran staff of 65 volunteer missionaries has not been doing its job of faithfully ministering in the prisons already!  For the past five years, L.I.F.E. volunteer missionaries have received God’s supernatural blessings while facilitating LIFE classes in 20 prisons.    Our missionaries are reaching out, ministering one-to-one and often to the very people who are not of the Christian persuasion – yet they are drawn by the love of God and the witness of their godly peers to enter the LIFE classes – some out of desperation, some out of curiosity and some responding to the love of God!

This prison-by-prison ministry is not mass evangelism.  It’s a personalized, one-to-one harvest of handpicked fruit.  We do not host large-scale classes, but more intimate group settings.   We are focused on what we have found to work: face-to-face ministry with individuals – a variety of life-skill classes where the incarcerated person feels comfortable conversing with us. 
We establish rapport, build trust and share our faith in the context of personal settings.  Isaiah 61: 1-2 foretells of Jesus’s coming mission:
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord has anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound: To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn.”


Recently, one of our teams was ministering at a local prison when one of the residents pointed to our volunteer and exclaimed: “I know you! We were in prison together many years ago and you were the meanest guy there.  What happened to you?”  Our dear volunteer missionary was able to share about the life-transforming power of Jesus with him; as a result, the resident prayed to receive the Lord that day.  Hallelujah!

This life-transforming work is being replicated in 20 Pennsylvania cities, where your generous support is stretched for maximum impact.  Our goal is to relentlessly pursue God’s plan for the salvation of all inmates.  And our pledge is to use every financial gift as if it were the widow’s mite. 
Is God prompting you? I pray He’s speaking to you now about how your gift will support our highlycommitted missionary teams and send even more workers into the harvest field.  And I hope the map, which shows the breadth of this ministry, will motivate you to consider a special, above-and-beyond gift for LIFE today! 

Psalm 69:33 (CEV) tugs at my heartstrings: “The LORD will listen when the homeless cry out, and he will never forget his people in prison."
Thank you and God bless you.
 Your sister in the Lord,
