God commands us to visit the imprisoned
By Heather Rice-Minus, Voices
Through my work in prison ministry for more than 12 years, I have seen some of the brightest lights for Christ shining within prisons across America. I saw this firsthand while visiting a maximum-security women’s prison in Alabama in 2022. I spent time with women on death row and later worshipped alongside those sisters in chapel. The women’s robust faith, gratitude, and sincerity moved me. Though we have walked vastly different journeys in life, their need for a Savior was no greater than my own.
