Volunteer Information

J.A.I.L. Ministries is a volunteer-dependent ministry. God has blessed this ministry with volunteers who have provided ministry to Bell County Jail prisoners, ex-prisoners, victims and their families for many years.

Volunteers lead Bible studies and in-jail seminars, assist crime victims, impact criminal justice legislation, mentor at-risk youth and ex-prisoners, purchase and deliver gifts to children of prisoners at Christmas, and provide administrative support in the Bell County J.A.I.L. Ministry office.

Volunteers are also involved in numerous leadership roles—serving on area councils and on Ministry Delivery Teams that coordinate the ministry programs at the local level. The Ministry Delivery Team model strives to engage the local church and empower its members to coordinate local ministry. Through the diversity and unity of lay leadership from local Churches, Ministry Delivery Teams can be developed to more effectively proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to those impacted by crime at the local level.

Our desire is to engage the church and create a seamless structure focused on ministry. We believe that J.A.I.L. Ministries must partner with the local church to participate in a special ministry to the "least of these" in response to Matthew 25:34–40. It is our desire to involve volunteers at all levels in the ministry and to provide opportunities to work interdenominationally, cross-racially, and cross-culturally.

We believe that crime is a moral problem—Christians call it "sin"—and the only way to really change society is by helping individuals make lasting changes in their own lives by committing their lives and values to Jesus Christ and His Word, the Bible.
