Why is prison ministry important?
People incarcerated and caught up in the prison system are vulnerable and may form fertile ground to be exposed to Christianity. It is therefore used by most protestant denominations as an area to create hope for desperate people to experience atonement and the love of Christ. Recently Ted Wilson asked for clemency for a man in America who killed his wife and who was baptized in prison as a Protestant member. God never gives upon us and we need to illustrate this to a man in need after receiving what they deserve for transgressions the system by actively exposing them to Christianity.
