How Can I Get Involved with DG's Prison Ministry?

August 20, 2010 | by Carol Steinbach

1) Pray!

Ask God to bring the volunteers and the resources needed so we can serve the inmates who contact us.

2) Volunteer

Every inmate who contacts Desiring God is sent an application for Mount Zion Bible Institute. Mt. Zion offers non-credit Bible correspondence courses and is currently looking for additional graders for their correspondence students' lessons. Most of their students are inmates. The main qualifications are spiritual maturity in the Lord, over 35 years old, and living in North America.

3) Spread the Word

If you know people who are in prison, have them write to us and request a free Piper book. Our address is:

Desiring God
P.O. Box 2901
Minneapolis, MN 55402-0901

4) Donate

When you give to Desiring God's general fund, it supports our inmate ministry.

  • $18 provides 10 inmate welcome packs (including postage)
  • $48 provides books for one inmate for a year
  • $78 provides a small set of English and Spanish Piper books for a prison library
  • $224 buys a case of NIV study Bibles
