Chapter 12

Steps to Take in Gaining Entrance to a Prison

Have a Florida Prison Ministries training program in your church.
Vote a leader from your church to be Lay-Chaplain Coordinator of the group.
Meet every two weeks for prayer, study and planning.
When everything is right, make an appointment to visit the Superintendent and ask for permission to minister in the prison. He will probably send you to the Chaplain.
Make an appointment to visit the Chaplain, explaining your plans and your connection to this State wide network of Florida Prison Ministries. Emphasis should be on that this is a Bible based program only.
If you get turned down, pray some more and return back to see the Chaplain again. Repeat this till the prison doors open by the Lord in His time. Amen!
