Project Summary

The Books To USA Prisons Project will send two copies of The Strong Man Of God: Back To Basics to over 800 Federal and State prison libraries to reach men with the Gospel and teach biblical manhood.

Project Description

The Books To USA Prisons Project is intended to make sure incarcerated men are not left out of God's strategic call for men to be saved, restored and become strong men of God in the image of His Son, Jesus Christ explained in The Strong Man Of God: Back To Basics! There are more than 2.4 million men and women incarcerated in the United States. As a result, our nation has the largest prison population and highest incarceration rate in the world! Approximately ninety percent of those incarcerated are males. Black Americans make up close to one million of those incarcerated and black men nearly six times the number that are white. This Ministry is burdened by the Lord to reach these men with the Gospel and His Word on biblical manhood.

After having already sent two donated copies of The Strong Man Of God: Back To Basics to all of the prisons in Oregon and Washington, our plan is to do the same for over 800 select State and Federal prisons in the remaining forty-eight American States. Funds raised for the Books To USA Prisons Project will be used to purchase the book at cost, obtain book mailers, produce letters to communicate with the chaplains of each facility about the project and coming books, pay all postage and related expenses. Our Ministry will follow-up every inmate that contacts us as a result of reading the book through correspondence; offering encouragement, biblical answers to questions and information about services that address specific needs presented.

Project Outcomes

The opportunity to reach men with The Strong Man Of God: Back To Basics is great since one of the outlets most prisons provide is a library. Seeking men can find the knowledge of salvation and biblical manhood in the book. It presents the simple Gospel and invites men to accept it to begin the journey of becoming a strong man of God in the image of Jesus Christ! It also provides basic spiritual and manhood instruction that positively impacts men in life changing ways as it did the three men quoted below at the time that they wrote to us from Northwest prisons--two of whom have since been released.

I enjoyed this book because it was comprehensive and very informative and instructional. This book is great for any man who is looking to strengthen his relationship with God and understand his role as a man in this world.

Not only overdue (needed), but also inspiring. This book teaches biblical truths in an understandable and clear way; not only calling men back to being strong men, but helping them understand why.
— Terrrance Hayes, Former Inmate, OR
It has taken some time; actually, it took starting 3 different times. No matter what, I have finished The Strong Man Of God and am a better man for it. I found it encouraging, insightful and empowering.

The Books To USA Prisons Project is an outgrowth of our Strong Man Ministries’ long-term mission to proclaim the Gospel as commanded by the Lord and help willing men become strong men of God in the image of Jesus Christ. To that end among the incarcerated, we have been conducting an evangelistic event we call the Strong Man Of God Rally and teaching through our Strong Man Institute in Northwest prisons. Hundreds have come or rededicated to Christ and a number baptized. We understand that men brought to Christ and aspiring to become strong men of God in His image while incarcerated need post-prison transitional help too. So, we have sought and seek to work with willing churches in our local area to provide continuing instruction, spiritual mentoring, release hygiene kits, limited assistance with bus transportation and help linking to appropriate social and other services.
