Inmates Tithe to their church -

It's exciting to see the Lord Jesus touch the inmates in the pocketbook! Most inmates work in the prison setting. They earn between $13 and $27 a month which goes into an account against which they can sign Trust Withdrawal slips to pay for their personal toiletries and canteen items. A portion goes to the Crime Victim Fund. In some prisons, we are allowed to take a Chapel offering once a month in the form of Trust Withdrawal Slips. Below is a sample of what their giving enables:

About 50% of regular attendees tithe their meager income.
$50 per quarter goes to support a Wycliffe translator in Peru.
$50 per quarter goes for the support of TEAM missionaries.
Over $300 a year is being sent to sponsor native translators in Papua, New Guinea.
A check for $317 was sent to the San Diego Rescue Mission to give the homeless a Thanksgiving dinner.

Pastors to Prisoners is a California nonprofit religious organization with federal 501(c)(3) status. Contributions to its work and ministry may be deducted on the donor's federal income tax return. Gifts made to Pastors to Prisoners are under the control of the organization and are therefore tax deductible. Contributors may express specific interest in the work of one of our Pastors.
