The team has throughout it's 44 years conducted monthly prison chapel services besides a variety of other various programs. The ratio was about 90% prison institutions and 10% for other programs.
When first founding the ministry in 1975, there were only a handful of prison ministries, we met a great need through the past 45 years. Not only with this organizations prison ministry but taking in other volunteer groups that branched out into their own prison ministry. At this point in time there is a crisis and great need for helping Florida's children. Helping them before they end up on a troubled road that could lead them to prison. We feel the need to commit 100% in working with youth, those under the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice, those in Residential Facilities, and to those that have been abandoned and have no family. The data for Florida is staggering as in all states, but in 2018 our state ranked 34 out of the 50 states. Let's repeat that, 34! Florida is our backyard and we have a problem that needs to be met. 4,217,864 Florida KIDS Florida Department of Children & Families, Child Welfare Investigations of abuse, neglect or abandonment. 2018-2019: 130,218 Federal Fiscal Year 2017 - Number children in foster care Florida: 24,641 United States: 442,995 Florida Department of Juvenile Justice 2018 Delinquency Profile Statewide Intake/Arrests: 59, 473 You are the helper of the weak and the fatherless.

We are in need of a new ministry vehicle for these travels to the various facilities statewide. A vehicle large enough to carry passengers, equipment, program supplies and items for the children and women. The below thermometer will show our progress in reaching this worthy need.
