Ellen is a woman of prayer. She believed God leading her to reach out to prisoners. She involves others at Emmanuel to pray for “her guys” also. And she writes them letters and encouragement notes. The prisoners write back. Some are Christians, Some are Muslims. Some are not.

Recently, she reported she only has one prisoner left. Why? Because they all got out! This was an enormous answer to prayer!

Would you like to pray for a prisoner and write to a prisoner like Ellen?

Or, maybe know a prisoner who could use some prayer and a note of compassion now and then?

Connections between Pray-ers and Prison-ers can be made through word of mouth from other prisoners or through the Compassion Prison Project’s Letter Writing Campaign. If you do connect with a prisoner, we’d love to hear about it.
