Training library
Everything we send inside, free for you too.
Every follower of Jesus can learn to hear, obey and share: to follow Him, share Him, and help another person do the same. This is the training the men and women inside are using. Work through it first with a coach or with others, then teach others to do it.

Start here: making disciples, level one

It covers the gospel, repentance, baptism, walking by the Spirit, how to tell your own story and God's story, and how to lead someone to Jesus and start reading the Bible with them. This is the heart of what we're asking every believer, inside and out, to learn.

Using it with someone inside
A few things we've learned.
Listen first
Build the bridge of trust
Start with “tell me your story.” One of us spent most of two years mostly listening to one woman inside before she was ready for more. Trust is what everything else crosses over.
One step at a time
Teach one thing, then wait
Send one passage or one tool. Wait for them to use it. When they've obeyed it, send the next. That's how Jesus trained the Twelve.
Mail rules
Check before you send
Many county jails scan mail to tablets. Many prisons accept no greeting cards or padded envelopes. Books usually must come from a publisher or bookstore. Hole-punch, don't staple.
They lead
Equip, don't control
The goal is not that they need you more. It's that they make disciples where they are, and keep going after they're transferred or released.
Same gender
Men with men, women with women
Our general practice, with healthy accountability. When the Holy Spirit leads otherwise, we keep it in the open and talk about it together.
Privacy
Their story is theirs
Never post names, cases or charges on social media or in group texts. Use a ministry or PO box return address, not your home.
Don't do this alone. Join the monthly training call.
