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 the Lord and Savior 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. Offering a relationship with Jesus is the greatest FREE resource we have!
Chaplain Visits
Inmates can request Chaplain visits by contacting NBM through mail. During the visits there will be Bible studies, prayer and fellowship. If the inmate wants to continue receiving visits they will receive visits throughout their term. These visits do not take up personal visits times.
Inmate Supporter
All services are FREE through the faithful giving of others!
Court Support
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. Inmates may be matched with a Supporter whether the inmate is in jail or prison.
Food, Clothing, Transportation
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.
JAIL EVANGELISM
On the first and third Fridays of every month at 7PM you will find the team outside the Fresno County Jail with drinks and pastries offering prayer, hope and Bibles. Occasionally rides, food and seasonal clothing are given too. These services are not limited to releasees and family, but all who pass by the jail that night!
Prayer & Counsel
Call anytime for prayer and direction through the Word of God...
Bible Studies
Weekly Bible studies and fellowship is offered for both men and women. Call or write today to get information on the next Bible study!
Isaiah 43:18 "Forget the past; I am doing a new thing!"
