Jail

The Jail Ministry at Trinity Friends, along with many of the ministries at the
church, is based on Matthew 25:35-40 that says; "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 sick
and you looked after 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 give 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.'"

Lay persons from within the Body visit area jails to share the love of the Lord and
the hope of the Gospel to those who are alone and hurting. There are jail
ministries to both men and women in the Van Wert and Paulding County Jails.
