Stepping Up As A Prison Ministry

Stepping Up as a prison ministry was created to help inmates understand the stages of manhood and help transform inmates’ lives. This Christian men’s video series helps those in prison recognize their call to courageous manhood, and step up to be the men, dads, and husbands they can and need to be. Stepping Up as a prison ministry is a life-changing Christian resource that can help transform lives. For more on Stepping Up as a prison ministry, visit MenSteppingUp.com/stepping-up-...

You see in their faces they are children of God! So inspirational. I pray I can in the future be part of a prison ministry. God bless all these men and those ministering to them.

[@ryandonahue285]

Im going into prison ministry for the first time next week, been all in for 2.5 yrs., have a rough past like many. Im so grateful to been given a new life through Christ, and im thankful for this video and everyone that had a hand in it, it gives me alot of encouragement.

[@Y3shua_Forever]

Hallelujah AMAZING! Pray for every prisoner around the world! (Hebrews 13:3) True freedom is found in Christ Jesus 🙌🏼

[@jasono.1629]

Seeing this video and the prisoners testimonies warms my heart. May God bless these incarcerated men who want to change their ways and become better men through God, and bless those who teach these men about God’s love.

I will be assisting in a Prison Ministry this weekend. I am looking for God to make great changes in them....and in me.

[@lambos124]

I’m late I know but please tell me how did it go?

[@risky1]

@@lambos124 John....Everytime I help facilitate - it is a new closeness to God. I dunno who benefits more .....the inmates or me. I had 7 MS13 Members at my table this time. The one Man to my right had such cold ....dead eyes. By the time the 3 days were over, he and I were hugging and in tears. He asked me to pray for his family and showed me a napkin that he had written all their names. I still have them in my head. I wrote them down as soon as I got home. I will see him again at the Retreats. God changed him.... God changed me.

[@lambos124]

Cuku Kenivel Thank you for sharing fellow brother in Christ. It certainly moved me and I am glad that you were able to preach about our wonderful God and our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ to those people who needed it the most. It shows that no matter who you are or what you have done that Jesus will still come and knock the door that opens into your heart. I feel moved as I did watching this video. God bless you and anyone else reading this and be ready for the rapture is sooner than ever.

[@liam9716]

@@risky1 thank you for sharing. I've been thinking about what God wants to do with me... I've been thinking about prison ministry. I've been thinking about rehab. I've been thinking about the streets. I don't know why, I feel so weak as a young woman and really innocent and kept thinking about how a homeless wich I sat and talk to him and even cried with lied to me... now I miss it (that being on the street seeking who may need food, and comfort in God, I only did it once or twice), and I pray for him to repent and go back to God... I know God wants me to wait... I know He does.

That’s awesome the job you are doing. I’m in my 13th year teaching and coaching high-school football in Mob, AL. So many of my kids I love have been killed or ended up in prison. They have nobody! Thank you guys for doing this ministry

[@emiliewilwer7979]

Woow! I was crying! God is sooo goood! 💪🏼🔥 thanks for your service there 🙏🏼

[@Jana-ln2wv]

Considering many of the leaders in the Bible, once were murderers, including Moses who killed an Egyptian. This sort of programme is the way forward, all humans although undeserving, has a second chance with God if they are remorseful. There is power in the name of Jesus. Great inspiration! ❤️

[@jassi5723]

Tears of joy. This is so beautiful. 😭

Psalm 10:14 says, “But you, God, see the trouble of the afflicted. You consider their grief and take it in hand. The victims commit themselves to you; you are the helper of the fatherless.”

[@jesusnaction]

Im wanting to do this as part of after care and inside prison ministry i am so loving to do even more. Redeeming the time for such a time as thid

[@freshstart3555]

In this season I draw near to God I too am ready to step into the deep water. Raised up around drugs and alcohol parents absent then to a prison life now I see God's goodness his Mercy his Grace. I found out that we don't have to earn it he gave it to us when Jesus died on the cross. It's not how we started it's how we finish. I now think what will our Legacy be to the ones who come after us the younger Generation. It's not how we start it's how we finish. So that each and everyone of us finish strong to make our father in Heaven proud

[@Bian1223]

I look at all these inmates and I just see them as my brother without even thinking of whatever they were in prison for..God always make things NEW..He forgets all our sins as long as we repent and ask for forgiveness. Prayers and love to you all my fellow brothers ❤

[@abbyfreiger637]

The 3 that disliked this vid are heartless, praise god that these prisoners found Christ, and prayers go out to prisoners and their families for staying strong through difficult times and hopefully one day emotional chains and bondage can be destroyed and all prisoners can be set free in the name of the father.

[@nowankersallowed2115]

This I love. This is what it was about. Looking at the realities that these men have faced, taking accountability for past actions, but realising they are better than their circumstances. This really matters to me. Not just on a personal level, but as a societal level too. The strength it takes to really look at self, yet also begin to understand how and why rather than just shrug and grunt.. it is the most worthy experience to see take place. This means more to me than any amount of money or earthly possession. That I am completely serious on. To see men complete or overcome further than what my Dad did.. that means something. He knew first hand what it meant to not have a father himself. His willingness to share and open up about his past was what strengthens my own love though it's not easy and I am the first to admit that.. but this is why. Anyone of these men could have been him because he too spent time in prison. He was wild in his day. But he loved us. He did his best regardless. I know that's true. Days I wanted to kick him, days I hated him, though that never lasted long. Thank you to these men who help restore belief and hope.

[@heatherland5466]

Thank you for what you do my husband is going to jail for 2 yrs for a crime he did 20 yrs ago. I pray he learns who he is. His dad was there but a workaholic and not there spiritually,emotionally. He did not go fishing or do the things he does with our kids. It is so hard being a mom wife while hes n there pray he grows and God uses Him.

[@heatherland5466]

Out here I we have 8 kids all boys and 1 girl. 20 18 13 9 8 5 3 girl and 1 special T21 little baby boy. Hes been gone from home since 4 days after youngest was born.

[@freshstart3555]

Gideon came to mind after watching this. He was the reluctant Warrior who failed many times in life and doubting God, even tested God three times. How many of us have been like Gideon??? We are the light bearers the light we are the ones who will break the chain of bondage of addiction and generational curses in our families and in our communities. So I release a fresh anointing so go forward in Jesus mighty name by his authority take back what the devil has stolen

And as My earthly reward because I lived my life for God including going for the Gospels sake I've been to California a few times but had a ball there for I Sat on the bench by the beach the Pacific ocean and Fed the Sea gull's as I threw breaded gold fish in the air and watched the sun 🌄🌞 rise and I was with God alone just you and me between the boardwalk and the wharf in California in the morning and I hope to see you there in the morning in heaven.

I wonder what would happen if Levi went into a prison and taught a bible believing group of them the truth about the Word. Not seminary graduates bringing Christmas gifts and Easter baskets, but a covenant follower teaching them statutes, ordinances, mandates, and commandments.

Hail the name of biblical Jesus christ!
