For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited Me: I was in prison, and ye came unto Me.
Then shall the righteous answer Him, saying, Lord, when saw we Thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we Thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed Thee?
​
Or when saw we Thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done it unto Me.
(Matthew 25:35-40)
Our Ministry: JCSM serves as a teaching, training, equipping, and discipling ministry that supports individuals seeking to deepen their transformational journey with Jesus Christ. We encourage authenticity and vulnerability as participants navigate their own experiences of brokenness. Through the presentation and study of God’s Word, our ministry aims to identify and address misconceptions about God that can lead to distorted perceptions of oneself and others, thereby obstructing spiritual growth. By confronting personal and spiritual brokenness, we can cultivate a more fulfilling and intimate relationship with Christ. From a place of wholeness, our impact within the Kingdom becomes more genuine and effective. A significant focus of our ministry is dedicated to serving the marginalized members of our society.
In the Prison: A fundamental aspect of our mission is the formulation and dissemination of sound doctrine rooted in the Word of God. We frequently visit numerous correctional facilities throughout Florida and, on occasion, extend our outreach to other states, with the Word of God serving as a source of hope and direction. Through interactive sessions, we explore various dimensions of personal growth, spirituality, and resilience in a program we refer to as "Christ in you". Acknowledging the distinct needs of each individual, we prioritize our one-on-one engagements with inmates. Whether providing a compassionate ear, offering guidance on personal issues, or delivering spiritual support, we consistently meet and speak with inmates to help them grow in the Word of God.
The Challenge: Research indicates that access to educational and spiritual resources can play a significant role in decreasing recidivism rates. By supplying Christian content through tablets, we aid in the rehabilitation of inmates, equipping them with tools for personal development and transformation that may favorably influence their conduct both during their time in prison and after their reintegration into society. In a time characterized by rapid technological progress, Jesus Christ street ministry is pleased to announce a strategic alliance with God Behind Bars and the Pando App. This partnership marks a pioneering effort to deliver Christian content and hope to incarcerated individuals across the United States.

Creative Methodology: This partnership adopts a novel strategy that harnesses visual storytelling to provide opportunities for spiritual development, motivation, and essential faith-based competencies. The emphasis is placed on utilizing technology as a means of transformation, allowing incarcerated individuals to engage with the truths found in God’s Word.
The Influence of Change: This collaboration transcends mere statistics; it focuses on the real-life effects on individuals incarcerated. Through the provision of educational series, podcasts, devotionals, and additional resources, our objective is to foster hope and resilience in a setting frequently marked by hopelessness. The Pando App serves as a guiding light, playing a significant role in the constructive transformation of individuals within the correctional system.
Call to Action: We encourage you to participate in this transformative journey towards a future in which every incarcerated individual has the chance to find hope and resilience through a relationship with Jesus Christ. Your support will play a crucial role in disrupting the cycle of despair, equipping inmates with the necessary tools to reconstruct their lives based on faith, purpose, and positive values. To fulfill our mission of delivering the Gospel to every inmate, we believe it is essential to ensure that there are no fees or subscription costs imposed on the end user or inmate.
Annual Budget for JCSM Prison Ministry: As a provider, JCSM is committed to sponsoring 1,000 future tablets at an approximate cost of $18 per tablet each year. This results in a monthly expenditure of $1,500, totaling $18,000 annually for the Basic Provider Tier. This funding enables us to upload 6-8 videos monthly to the PandoApp across the nation, while also facilitating the expansion of Pando’s outreach to a greater number of inmates. The estimated annual cost for video production ranges from $50,000 to $75,000, influenced by factors such as content creation, production quality, and in-kind contributions. Additionally, the budget allocation for Prison Ministry staff is projected at $75,000 per year. Consequently, the overall annual budget for the Prison Ministry is estimated to be between $143,000 and $168,000.
