CHURCHES
For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.” – Matthew 25: 34 - 36
As the summer season slips away, let's reflect on the faith-based values that bind us together. Justice & Mercy invites the Church to play a vital role in the support of inmate mentoring, restoration, re-entry, and prison reform. Individuals and small church groups can extend their ministry outreach in ways never thought possible.
Through the power of prayer The Matthew 25:36 Project has been able to sustain the challenging and rewarding mission of helping inmates realize there is a spiritual plan for everyone's life, “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.” – Psalm 139:14. At the same time The Matthew 25:36 Project has made a lasting impact within the communities of Pennsylvania.
The generosity and shared commitment to those genuine inmate stories and struggles that connect us have been instrumental in sustaining our mission to shape the future of prison reform, share perspectives, and amplify incarcerated voices. It is through the unwavering support of the local Church and faithful friends that Justice & Mercy is able to continue to address the challenges that matter most to incarcerated people, their families and our communities.
In partnership, our joint action brings us one step closer to creating a more accountable, informed and revived criminal justice system that best serves the citizens of Pennsylvania.
