Corrections Connection

The Prison Ministry started several years ago in Downstate Correctional Facility located in Fishkill, New York, by a member who was a correctional officer. A Bible study has continued every Sunday evening since then. There have been many King's Fire members who have volunteered their time and gas money to minister to men and women otherwise ignored by society.

God seems to grant special blessings and anointing to those ministering in prisons. God never fails to show up in a powerful way. Jesus said, "When you visit those in prison, you visit Me." He is always there when we go!

Where are we helping now?

• Downstate Correctional - Sunday evening Bible Study, Vineyard Teams of 2, Retreats
• Shawangunk Correctional - 4th & 5th Tuesday evening Bible Study, 4th & 5th Sunday Service
• Wallkill Correctional - 3rd Sunday Service
• Beacon Women's Correctional - 1st & 3rd Tuesday Bible Study

• Kairos - Coxsackie Correctional, Retreat Weekends

We are at the crossroads of expansion for our prison minstry hoping to involve many more of our body going in to minister and establishing an aftercare program.
