Synopsis

Every county in every state has two buildings in common: a church and a county jail. Inside every jail are individuals who will eventually be released. Some will want to make a successful re-entry back into society. Meanwhile, in churches are individuals who may be interested in reaching those in jail with the Good News of Jesus Christ and helping them succeed at re-entry and growth in the Christian life. How will an inmate's desire to change and the church's desire to help an inmate change become a reality? How does a church begin the process of discipleship? The Local Church in the Local Jail provides a simple and biblical model designed to equip any person with the "how-to" of jail discipleship. Writing from the perspective of a pastor and a jail chaplain, Dr. Mitchell has the pulse of what the church needs for a powerfully effective discipling ministry.

Biographie de l'auteur

Dr. Ray Mitchell, DMin, has been in the pastoral ministry since 1995 and active in jail ministry for more than ten years. He has served as the lead chaplain of the Chautauqua County Jail (New York) since 2005. One of the greatest concerns that Dr. Mitchell has is that more than 80 percent of men and women released from county jails will fail to have a successful re-entry into society and will return to jail. His desire was to write a book in simple laymen's terms in order that churches seeking to be involved in jail ministry might have a resource to use as an effective ministry tool. Dr. Mitchell is also the director of IN-STEP Ministries, a counseling and consulting ministry specializing in jail ministry, anger management, and biblical counseling centered upon cognitive renewal. He and his wife, Lisa, live and minister in western New York; they have been married for more than twenty-seven years and have three grown children and two grandchildren.
