January 23-27, 2011
Beginning in a single prison with a small group of volunteers in 1979,
the We Care Prison Crusade has been held each year since then and
now reaches up to 20 different prisons throughout the state of
Alabama.
Held each January, this event attracts hundreds of volunteers,
evangelists, and musicians from all over the United States who carry
the Gospel message to thousands of men and women in Alabama’s
prison system.
Participants meet for a day of orientation and missions rally in
Montgomery, Alabama, after which they spread out into the
Montgomery, Troy, Birmingham, and Atmore areas for four days of
ministry in prison. Each morning begins with a hearty breakfast followed
by a workshop session with gifted teachers in each locality. The
volunteers then enter the various prisons for ministry through
friendship evangelism. Each day in the prisons also includes a chapel
service with special music and evangelists.
Mature Christian men and women ages 21 and older are welcome to
participate. (Several prisons allow younger persons, ages 18-20, by
special permission.)
