To whom it may concern,
Praise the Lord and holy greetings in the matchless name of Jesus!
As head clinical chaplain of this unit, I have the privilege of having Azalea City Prison Ministry as
a vital resource for spiritual and physical blessing in support of the mission of the office--to rescue
the perishing...to deliver the lost...to point the way to Glory through a personal encounter with
the Lord. The ministry's dedication to the cause of Christ, without exception, key to the success
of our program.
The ACPM staff conducts quarterly revivals which are highly effective in reaching the lost and
captive, in addition to conducting weekly worship service in the institution. ACPM is THE
source providing sorely needed personal hygiene items that are issued to indigent inmates.
Inmates here are from varied ethnicities and religious backgrounds, so these items offer a concrete
witness to all of them. Our God does answer by 'fire.' The ministry has also provided musical
instruments to enhance our praise and worship experience. We have a "Pentecostal 'good time'"
in our services.
Because of their heart for our charges and their desire to court the heart of God by blessing those
who are often neglected by society, I take the members of ACPM as my friends, my family, and
saints of the Most High in the truest sense. Anything that can be done to help them in this
ministry is an investment in the Kingdom of God.
I give them my highest recommendation to you in the Name of Jesus Christ.
Faithfully, I remain in the Master's service.
