Our communion offering this week is for Epiphany Ministries. David Ricks introduced us to Epiphany Ministries through his work with them several times a year. The following is a little more about this prison ministry.
Epiphany Ministry is a short three-day course in Christianity that brings to incarcerated juveniles the message of God’s love, grace and forgiveness. It is an ecumenical Christian ministry modeled after similar weekend ministries such as Cursillo, Walk to Emmaus, Tres Dias, Chrysalis, and Kiaros.
The mission of Epiphany Prison Ministry is to offer incarcerated youth an opportunity to change their lives and value systems by introducing them to Jesus Christ. Epiphany seeks to meet the basic need of the “Stars” to feel loved. Epiphany teaches that their lives are worthwhile because of God’s endless love for them.
The purpose of Epiphany strives to manifest God’s love to these young people known as ‘Stars”. Epiphany is currently ministering at eight facilities throughout the state of Texas. Their goal is to expand the program to minister in all facilities for incarcerated youth within the state.
