On a recent broadcast of the Missions Radio program, Prison Fellowship President and CEO Jim Liske discusses the work of Prison Fellowship with host Ken Mitchell. During the hour-long program, Liske talks about the church within the prison walls, the importance of ministry to the families of prisoners, and churches creating “communities of restoration” for prisoners when they return to society.
“I think Matthew 25 is really a strategy for revival,” Liske says. “… Can you imagine having 700,000 people coming back to our communities every year who knew Jesus and were prepared to come home and bring restoration to their communities? What would happen to our country over 10 years? I think we would experience revival, and I think it would come right out of America’s prisons. I think for our churches to embrace this is not embracing doing ministry to a group of people, it’s embracing doing ministry with them, and it may very well be what transforms our country.”
