In this episode of Know and Follow podcast, Pastor Addison Roberts sits down with Cindy Feaster and Doug Miller who lead Grace Community Church's prison ministry at Lancaster County Prison. They discuss their paths to prison ministry, the challenges of working within the prison system's rules, and the surprising resilience and biblical knowledge they encounter among inmates. The conversation explores both the practical aspects of prison visitation and the deeper impact of showing Christ's love to those who are incarcerated. Cindy and Doug share insights about reentry challenges for former inmates and ways Christians can support prison ministry beyond direct volunteering.

God's eternal plan encompasses reaching all nations and people groups, making missions not just an activity of the church but its very essence. The approach to missions includes six vital components: the traditional elements of going on mission trips, praying for missionary work, and sending support, alongside the often overlooked aspects of welcoming internationals, learning about different cultures, and mobilizing others to participate.Practical involvement can take many forms, from supporting local ethnic restaurants to volunteering with refugee ministries and participating in language learning programs. Cultural understanding plays a crucial role, emphasizing the importance of respecting traditions, learning behavioral norms, and building genuine relationships across cultural boundaries. Getting started in missions doesn't require dramatic life changes - it can begin with simple steps like connecting with church leadership, exploring local opportunities, or welcoming international people in the community.
