Prodigal Ministries, Inc

Thank you for helping us reach our goal to raise $12,000

Our clients come to us from prison with nothing but the clothes on their backs. They have generally suffered abuse, rejection, and are socially inexperienced. Unconditional love, forgiveness, mercy, and grace are new concepts to them and we offer acceptance and caring, and the means and motivation to rebuild their lives.  

Your giving dollars directly fund our program that provides our men and women a second chance.

Prodigal Ministries is a Christian Aftercare Program offering transitional housing for men and women straight out of prison.  Our mission is to help them become self-sufficient and avoid prison return with Christ as their primary support system, enabling them to rejoin their families and loved ones.

Physical Needs:
Our initial goal is to meet a client’s physical needs … from new clothing, personal care items and counseling assessments, to educational help for GED's and training for employment. Getting a job is one of the first big steps for clients, and we help each obtain the proper identification documents they will need for job applications and opening bank accounts. 

Emotional Needs:
Many of our residents have been physically and sexually abused, abandoned, and involved in substance abuse. Their emotional needs are great. Through Prodigal Counseling Services they receive counseling with drug and alcohol counselors as well as counselors specializing in Post-Traumatic Stress Syndrome, and drug and alcohol abuse.

Spiritual Needs:
To meet their spiritual needs, clients are encouraged to attend bible study, church and accept mentoring by volunteers. Much prayer and love has been bestowed on residents from board members, staff and volunteers. Those who choose to surrender to the loving power of Jesus Christ see their lives renewed and restored.

Social Needs: Opportunities for cookouts, sports outings, Bible study and church events. Client are encouraged to participate in volunteering opportunities and integrate into the community. 

Matthew 25:35-36 

'For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,  I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ 

Your support is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
