New Directions Ministries is a non-profit comprised of Christian volunteers dedicated to bringing the hope of Jesus to those in correctional facilities and supporting our brothers in Christ as they reenter the community. Our mission is to create an environment where lives are transformed, captives become Christ-followers, and spiritual growth is nurtured and protected as they transition back into the community. Together, we are changing lives & changing futures with JESUS.
Keep It simple…
“Reach people with Jesus! Who? The people who are often overlooked but never forgotten in Christ!”

God blessed us with two beautiful services at Parnall last night! The spirit of God moved mightily.

When I think about what the love of Jesus looks like, I think about each one of you, as I consider the love, passion, and obedience it requires to spend your time sharing the love of God with us. My eyes well up with tears of humble gratitude. You have impacted more than just the men in each service. I have seen the ripple effect your dedication has had in each unit and the yard!

Praise The LORD we had a wonderful service with 3 hands raised for salvation. Must have been approximately 25 men there. What a blessing!

“Had at least 42 guys come forward to receive Christ after speaking about a wounded spirit. Nice to be back home!”

“I want to thank you for choosing me to be a pen pal. I feel like God just knew what to put on your heart to send my way. The “5 Minute Prayer” sheet you sent really touched me; like those words were for my soul and so needed for my healing. Please continue to pray for me.”

There were 2 first time visitors tonight. Both got saved, and one guy had tears running down his cheeks as he was accepting Christ as his Saviour! It was truly a blessing to see this in a prison.

I have been here at JCS for 2 years and 6 months, and I just anted to say thank you for your faithful service to us all year long. I’m sure you could choose to spend your Saturdays some other way, but you choose to obey God and spend part of it with me.
