LIVES IN TRANSITION
 A program designed to assist ex-offenders adjust to life beyond prison walls.
The Saints Prison Ministry Lives In Transition Program was launched with the
vision to provide ex-offenders with a support network upon release from prison.
Lives In Transition provides help in finding employment, housing, and other
resources needed for community readjustment. Our program currently funded by
grants from the Danellie Foundation and the NJ Office of Faith Based
Initiatives, as well as by gifts from individuals and supporting churches.
Who is eligible for Lives In Transition?
Those inmates who are:
~ Serious about living a transformed life
~ Receptive to life-skills training and spiritual guidance
~ In need of assistance to form a solid parole plan
~ In the process of being released (preferably within six months of release) or recently released |
WE NEED YOU! Lives in Transition, the aftercare component of our ministry, is in need of a
few good men and women. Specifically, we need a few men to help drive clients
around, and a few computer-literate friends to work from home doing research.
Linda Mumma, our LIT caseworker, has found that the biggest issue that
ex-offenders in our area have is transportation. They want to get to job
interviews, they want to get groceries, but the cost of transportation is
prohibitive. She would like to have a few men, who would work in pairs, to
drive these clients to and from specific locations. It doesn't happen often,
but when clients ask us if we can just help them get to a job interview, it is
painful to have to politely decline because we lack the resources. Could the
Lord use you in this area?
We also need a few people who know their way around a computer keyboard to help
Linda research the many different programs in surrounding states so that we can
expand our service network. Much of the information is available online;
however, Linda just doesn't have the time to look for it all. Would you
consider joining the CyberSaints and work in this area a few hours a month?
If you can help in either of these areas, would like to come in the office and
help Linda, or just need more information about LIT, please call her at (856)
866-9428. She will be thrilled to hear from you!
