This Blog's Mission

To create a place to follow an inter-faith volunteer prison chaplain's story in a way that engages participation through prayer, thought, inspiration, dialogue and financial support.

To open hearts and minds to the spiritual conditions of our prisons and the spiritual journeys of myself and the men that are served by God's work through me.

To inspire others to step forward and ride the rollercoaster of prison ministry, especially in the inter-faith context.
