Write to Prisoners

When a prisoner receives a letter, whether they can read it or not, they know that someone cares, that they are not forgotten. Although mail may be opened, censored or blocked, it indicates to the authorities that we are aware of that Christian's situation, which may result in better treatment for the prisoner.

By becoming an 'advocate' you are entering into the vital and important ministry of intercession and solidarity with those who suffer for their faith in Christ. As an advocate for our brothers and sisters in chains you will be encouraging them when you write to them in prison and supporting them when you write to officials on their behalf.

Alternatively, you can write to prisoners and have your letter translated into the language of the prisoner. At this VOM-USA site you will find prisoner profiles and all kinds of help with advocacy as well.
