THE MANDATE FOR JAIL MINISTRY
The mandate for jail ministry is clear in God's Word, both by scripture and example.
Scripture: The greatest scriptural mandate for jail ministry is given in Matthew 25:31-40. Jesus said:
When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you? The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
Red Circle Auxiliary was organized under the pastorate of Rev. N.J. Matthews in 1952. The Young Women's Auxiliary (YWA) was organized in 1975. Both auxiliaries have combined and their motto and aim is to give of their best to the Master by serving Him daily, and to do their best to bring others to Him.
