Pen Pals
"The Pen Pal Program is a gift to me as well as to the inmates to whom I write."
In 2012 Matthew 25 began as a pen pal (letter writing) ministry. To date 141 faith based women have corresponded with 264 incarcerated sisters at the Arizona State Prison Complex-Perryville. We invite you to read a few of their comments below.
From Delilah: "I appreciate your encouraging words and the thoughtful ways you let me know I have someone in my corner cheering for me. God couldn't have put a better person in my life."
From Maryanne: "There are times that are particularly difficult to be here; I cannot begin to tell you how much better life is with you in it, just knowing someone out there cares and understands. Your letters make a difference in my life, and I am overwhelmingly grateful."
From Christine: "I just got a card from your church + a letter from you. It warms my heart to hear people believe in me."
From Angela: "Thank you for all the Christmas and birthday cards! They mean a lot to me. They all came at a time I needed to hear the words that were written in them. I pray that everyone in Matthew 25 has a great Christmas & Happy New Year. Thank you too for all your prayers!"
