Union of Prayer

“I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without me you can do nothing” (John 15:5).

 

We rely on prayer

 

There is much more to Dismas Ministry than its financial needs. We believe that without the prayers of others to support our work, this spiritual outreach to inmates cannot be successful, for nothing truly lasting is accomplished without prayer, which is our connection to God. 

 

For this reason we greatly value the spiritual support of others who pray for us and those we serve. We invite you to join our union of prayer. Joining this simple prayer association means that you agree to pray regularly with our other prayer union. It is a truly unique association with members on both sides of prison walls.

 

How to join

 

Simply write to Dismas Ministry at the address below and ask to be enrolled in our union of prayer. We will send you an enrollment card to fill out and return to us at Dismas Ministry (your address will be kept confidential). Returning this enrollment card represents your intention to remember this ministry in your prayers.

 

Once we receive your enrollment card, we will send you a welcome letter, a Dismas Prayer card, and a pamphlet with a brief reflection on the story of Dismas-the repentant criminal crucified with Jesus, and an occasional newsletter about our ministry. We also will remember you in prayer regularly, especially on March 25, the annual feast of St. Dismas.

 

Our gratitude

 

Thank you on behalf of the inmates we serve, as well as the chaplains and volunteer ministers who serve in prison outreach, fulfilling Christ’s call to visit him among the imprisoned.
