TRUE OR FALSE: Mark your answer as either true or false on the answer sheet.

 

37.            Statistics say, “80% of inmates return to prison after release” so we are wasting our time to try to rehabilitate them.

38.       The prison system is the only "business" that succeeds by its failure.

39.       It is not important to screen volunteers for prison ministry...just accept whoever has a desire to help.

40.       It is not really wise to allow inmates to share or help you minister in a prison service.

41.       The Bible is not really relevant to inmates.

42.       A benefit it of the Word of God is that it can offer positive strategies for coping with difficult situations and negative emotions

43.       The scriptural mandate for prison ministry is not really clear.

44.       Every believer should be involved in prison ministry in some way.

45.       One of the main targets of Christ’s ministry was prisoners.

46.       During the time between His death and resurrection, Jesus preached to the spirits in

            prison.

47.       God is not willing that any should perish--not even serial killers, rapists, and molesters.

48.            Chaplains cannot minister to more than a small percen­tage of inmates in their care.

49.       All jails and prisons have professional chaplains.

50.       False religions and cults are not allowed in prisons.

51.            Ministry to inmates’ families is not a goal of prison ministry.

52.            Entering a jail or prison to minister is outside the “comfort zone” for most believers.

            prison chaplains.

55.       It is a grave breach of trust to use your access to the prison to undermine the chaplain's

            reputation or to discredit his programs. 

56.            Prisoners are not very perceptive regarding your motives for prison ministry.

57.       In prison ministry, always remember you are there to rule rather than serve.

58.            Volunteers who start and then quit demoralize the inmate, disappoint the chaplain and the prison staff, and give a bad image to the efforts of the church.

59.       A visit with an inmate is not really very important to them, so if you don’t show up they

            won’t usually care.

60.            Empathy is the ability to feel with people as though you were in their place.

61.            Effective prison ministry is fueled by prayer. 

62.       It is not really important that you know God’s Word to conduct prison ministry because most inmates know nothing about the Bible.
