Here in Texas we have a wonderful program that is an offshoot of Burl Cain’s program in Angola, La. Driven primarily by funding from Grove Norwood’s Heart of Texas Foundation, the Southwest Bible Seminary has opened a seminary within the walls of the TDCJ Darrington Unit at Rosharon, Texas, South of Houston. This is a fully accredited Bible college offering a bachelor's degree in Bible studies. Upon completion of the four-year program, graduates become Field Ministers and are sent two by two to other units in the system. Each applicant much have at least 10 years remaining on his sentence to enter the program. A broadcast ministry in which I am involved goes into Darrington quarterly to interview inmate/seminarians and tell their stories to a world hungry for inspirational works by our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ. To hear their testimony has been a life-changing experience.

Wow! a lot of people involved with reaching out to prisoners! How wonderful is that! You are giving them something ETERNAL to have and use for God’s glory in Jesus Christ! God speed my friend!
