Today, on the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, we remember the lives lost, the families whose lives were forever changed, and the first responders and civilians who showed extraordinary courage and selflessness.

We continue to pray for those who carry the pain of that day and for our nation.

"God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble."
Psalm 46:1 (NLT)

May we never forget those who were lost, those who served, and those who sacrificed for others.

This Saturday, September 12, the Brothers in Christ Jail Ministry volunteers will gather for our second formation meeting as we continue preparing for the October 29 through November 1 ministry weekend. This meeting's theme is Servanthood.

Please keep our volunteers in prayer, that the Lord would continue to prepare our hearts to serve with humility, compassion, patience, and love. May we follow the example of Jesus, putting others before ourselves and allowing Him to work through us as we serve.

"For even the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve..."
Mark 10:45

Thank you for keeping the volunteers and the upcoming ministry weekend in your prayers. 🙏

Today, our ministry volunteers will begin the first of five team formation meetings as they prepare for our Cook County Jail ministry weekend coming up in October.

These meetings are an opportunity for the team to grow in fellowship, build a strong bond with one another, and prepare together for the ministry weekend.

Please keep our volunteers in prayer as they begin this journey together. Pray for fellowship, unity, and that the Lord strengthens the bond among the team as they prepare to serve in October.

A few weekends ago, we held a reunion that included individuals in custody (IICs) as well as BICJM volunteers, totaling around 40 people.

Our ministry sponsored a meal from BJ's Market that included roasted chicken, catfish teasers with mustard sauce on the side, cabbage, green beans, macaroni and cheese, corn muffins, and peach cobbler.

Everyone enjoyed the food, and the IICs were able to fill their plates and enjoy food they do not typically eat on a day-to-day basis.

The sponsored meal was made possible through generous donors, including volunteers who go inside the jail and supporters from outside the jail.

We wanted to share ways to donate electronically for anyone who would like to support the ministry:

Please pray for continued open hearts to the message of Jesus, and for relationships to continue to be watered and seeds planted. Fifty-two men will take part in the reunion.

Thank you.

Welcome to the official page for Brothers in Christ Jail Ministry Association (BICJM).

We are a Christ-centered ministry dedicated to serving men who are incarcerated, helping them build or strengthen a personal relationship with Jesus Christ for all eternity. Our mission is to support and encourage them as they grow in faith through the Word of God and reflect the values of the Kingdom of God in their lives and communities. 🤝

"Remember those in prison, as if you were there yourself. Remember also those being mistreated, as if you felt their pain in your own bodies."
Hebrews 13:3 (NLT) 📖

We believe that no one is beyond the reach of God’s grace. Through His love, lives can be transformed, hope can be restored, and new purpose can be found.

Please follow this page to stay connected, learn more about what God is doing, and see how you can support this ministry through prayer and involvement. 🙏

Thank you for being part of this mission.
