is to minister to lost souls incarcerated at the Limestone Correctional
Facility. We work there to assist in the spiritual needs of those
prisoners and their families. We provide bible classes, personal
study, and lessons from the pulpit. We also strive to provide
some of the personal needs of the prisoners by providing hygiene
and other equipment for the health and well being of those individuals
that have no family. We work closely with the Chaplain's office
at LCF in order to gain greater access to the prison. Our overall
mission is to do the will of the FATHER and that is to visit
those in prison.
