Let all be received as Christ

"So if you consider me your partner, receive him as you would receive me." - Philemon 1:17

​

In this verse, Paul is asking his friend Philemon to welcome back Onesimus (a former slave who had run away after stealing from Philemon). Paul had met Onesimus in prison, where Onesimus became a Christian.​

• People who have been in jail need Christian community when they get out

• Isolation makes recovery difficult

• We should welcome former inmates as we would welcome Christ Himself

Are you willing to welcome former inmates and their families into your church community with the same openness you would show to Christ?  We can help with volunteering training, referrals, resources, and prayer.  Contact us today to see how your church can partner with Jail Chaplains.
