Toledo Chaplains preach to Prisoners

Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.
Hebrews 13:3

One group of chaplains is putting these words into action in downtown Toledo

he Lucas County Jail Chaplaincy Committee, a nondenominational group that provides for the inmates' spiritual needs, trains chaplains with a rigorous six-month program. Volunteers must take classes and sit in on jail services led by veteran chaplains
"We could use 50 or 55 chaplains," says the Rev. James Jackson, chairman of the chaplaincy committee.
His predecessor, the Rev. George Hairston, led the chaplaincy committee for 25 years before "retiring" in January. He still visits the jail three or four times a week.

And prisoners are often those most open to the word of God, because they know they are sinners and seeking a savior.
