HARBOR LIGHT MINISTRIES

Jail and Prison Ministry
Shining the Light on the Word of GOD, by means of discipleship through correspondence and to the hands that reach out at Harris County Jails, Houston, Texas

     "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound." (Isa.61:1) The county jail is different than prison. We have less time to be with those we minister to, but we are able to hold church services, Bible studies, and one on one counseling for those in Isolation (Lockdown) and General Population. The Jail Chaplaincy Ministries vision is to be a vital part in sharing the Good News of the Gospel with the entire incarcerated population of the Harris County Jail System and to offer assistance to Sheriff's personnel in times of crisis.

HARBOR LIGHT MINISTRIES

Bible Studies

Shining the Light on the Word of GOD, as they look outwardly, for what is needed, inwardly (correspondence)

     Harbor Light Ministries' Bible Studies reach over 80 prison units across Texas with an average of 50 students participating at any one time. For some, they wait, and stare patiently for the return of their correspondence. "For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son..." (Rom. 8:29) The Holy Spirit's task is to acquaint us with what is in view in our spiritual education; namely that he is to reveal Christ in us and then afterward to get to work to conform us to Christ. To learn Christ we must first see Christ.      
     The mark of a life governed by the Holy Spirit is that such a life is continually and ever more and more occupied with Christ, that Christ is becoming greater and greater as time goes on. The effect of the Holy Spirit's work in us is to bring us to the shore of a mighty ocean which reaches far, far beyond our range. Concerning which we feel-"Oh, the depths, the fullness, of Christ!" If we live as long as ever a man lived, we shall still be only on the fringe of this vast fullness that Christ is.
