Isaiah 43:18 "Forget the past; I am doing a new thing!"
JAIL EVANGELISM
On the first and third Fridays of every month at 7PM you will find us outside the Fresno County Jail with drinks and pastries offering prayer, hope and Bibles. Occasionally rides, food and seasonal clothing are given too. We come in contact with released inmates, family members, and many others who are affected by crime & incarceration.
Prayer & Counsel
Call anytime for prayer and direction through the Word of God...
When an inmate writes he/she is matched with a representative from the ministry called a Supporter. The purpose for this service is to encourage the inmate throughout his/her term. The Supporter corresponds through mail to build a relationship with the inmate. Upon the inmate's release the Supporter encourages Godly living by providing information on places of worship, Bible groups and Celebrate Recovery groups.
Court Support
A representative from the ministry will attend court with inmates and family members for support and collaboration with the court officials on the offender's behalf when appropriate.
Some restrictions may apply due to COVID protocols

Should an inmate request services while incarcerated, they are welcome to call NBM upon their release for additional services such as food, clothing and minimal transportation.

Salvation
Our greatest service is offering a relationship with Jesus Christ! Often times people believe a job, housing or education is the answer to their problems, but a personal relationship with God is the most important thing in life. Jesus said in Matthew 6:33 that if you seek HIM first and HIS kingdom THEN He will add these things unto you. Trusting in God is the greatest FREE resource we have!
