Bible Question: Will someone please give me some scriptures that are appropriate for Jail Ministry? |
Bible Answer: Hello strickmar, I believe 2 Tim. 4:2 would provide a basis for your question: "preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction." Additionally, we could follow the prescription laid out in Rom. 10:14: "How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher?" I hope this helps, BradK |
