Re-Imagining Prison Ministry

05/23/19 • 54 min

Visiting those in prison is one of the fundamental calls in fulfilling the gospel, but within that call lies an invitation to relationship. Pastor Fred Nelson from Redeemer Lutheran Church in Park Ridge, Ill., is founder and executive director of The Inside Out Network, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping connect people both inside prisons and those beyond the walls in more meaningful, effective ways.

Pastor Nelson is joined by Aneel Travetti, Associate Director of Inside Out, to share with us about this prison ministry that has now expanded to impact churches and incarcerated persons around the nation.
