GROUP OPPORTUNITIES
Grace Ministry: Welcomes newly released programmers into our residential discipleship program with the blessing of Grace Bags and necessities to help them get off to a good start. Grace Bags include personal welcome cards, hygiene items, bedding/comforter, Walmart gift cards, and mobile phone cards. The need is ongoing and is a great opportunity for a church, small group, or a family project.
Meal & Fellowship: Provides meals and fellowship for our programmers before Wednesday Bible Study or Thursday Life Skills Groups. Mealtime is at 6:00 PM and groups begin at 6:30 PM at both our men’s and women’s Discipleship Training Centers (DTC’s). Meals can be catered or home-cooked. There are normally 15-25 at the Men’s DTC and 10 at the Women’s DTC. An exact number will be provided. This is a great opportunity for a church, group, or family to get to know our programmers. Groups can commit to providing one or several meals, such as monthly, bi-monthly, etc.
Service Projects: Performs special projects to assist in the maintenance and upkeep of ASM properties. Examples include painting, cleaning, landscaping, minor repairs, renovations, etc. This is a great opportunity for churches, clubs, and groups to bless our programmers. Skilled and unskilled labor is welcome. Each project will be unique and established in partnership with ASM staff.
Special Events: Works in partnership with ASM to conduct special events including inside prison. Inside events would include Evangelistic Outreaches and Worship Services. This is a great opportunity for a church or worship team to provide a service to inmates inside prison. ASM will coordinate with the Department of Corrections for necessary permissions. An example of an outside partnership is providing Thanksgiving meals to families of incarcerated.
