Prisoners For Christ Strategic Plan 2024-2030
Prison Ministry Training Advanced Training Part 6 How to Start an International Bible Institute in Foreign and Domestic Prisons Whether you are involved in local or international prison ministry, you are aware of the daunting task of applying Christ’s mandate to, “Go and make disciples,” to those behind bars. Discipleship is a lost practice. The churches around the world are failing miserably in this great calling. Finding innovative ways to disciple inmates in America is hard enough, let alone developing discipleship techniques for inmates overseas. When you are called to go into the prisons overseas, evangelism is the “easy” part, but how are you going to provide ongoing discipleship for inmates who have accepted Christ? Gregory E. Von Tobel, in his newest installment of Prison Ministry Training – How to Start an International Bible Institute in Foreign Prisons , outlines an innovative and contemporary step-by-step process. Once complete, you will have an understanding of: • The true meaning of transformational discipleship • The nine reasons to consider developing a Bible Institute for inmates • How to gain approval from the prison leadership • The sixteen steps to successfully starting your first Bible Institute • How to pick the right prison • How to choose the right teaching team • Understanding the financial costs, start-up, and monthly ongoing costs • How to screen for the right inmate students Prison Ministry Training Advanced Training Part 7 How to Church Plant Inside Foreign and Domestic Prisons There is not one church planting organization in the world that is focused on church planting inside the prisons of the world.
