Testimonies of changed lives because of Christ’s love demonstrated during the Prison Crusades.
Inmate’s daughter…
I’m enclosing a gift of appreciation to hopefully help you continue carrying your message and music to prisons where it is so much needed. The Gospel Express has been a great blessing to my father and fellow inmates at Lee Correctional in Bishopville, SC. The February 8-12 teams were sent by God “on time” and were especially helpful to my Daddy through some trying weeks. Thank you for going behind the walls to show Christ to those who need Him so much! – Sherry
Inmate…
Some of these inmates don’t have any families and this is the only family that they have, the volunteers that come in and minister to them. My sister was hit and killed by a vehicle in East Africa, where we grew up as missionary kids. She was 6 years old and I was 9. Later I contracted HIV there. For many, many years I was bitter towards God. When I came back to the United States to go to college I made some bad choices and they ended up bringing me here. The Mullett Family came and they shared the loss of their son. It really spoke to me…that God heals us. I shared my experience with them and we found mutual strength from one another through that experience of loss.
Warden…
When inmates have contact with the outside world, it shows people have not forgotten about them. They are being given a chance and an opportunity to better themselves. Without volunteer assistance and support, it would be very difficult to manage these inmates.

Chaplain…
People ask me why I do what I do; does prison ministry matter…why care about these men at all? To that I say, God takes broken things and makes them whole. He turns disorder into Godly order. Men who used to curse now bless. It happens because of who Jesus is and what He has done in the lives of these men. Nobody can pastor a thousand men by themselves, which is why volunteers are so incredibly important to come alongside what God is already doing here at Perry.
