            "content_html": "Thanks so much for this account of healing and transformation. \"And a little child shall lead them.\" I'm a chaplain's assistant in our local county jail, and have in recent months become aware of a wonderful nonprofit, Project Avary, which, coincidentally, has its office directly across the street from our branch church! It provides support, mentorship, and summer camp experiences to children of incarcerated parents--to help break the cycle of generational incarceration. They have rolled out a new program that's really quite amazing: teens in their program go into the jail and meet with incarcerated parents to tell them what an effect the absence of their own parent/s has had in their lives, and to share helpful ways the inmates can be more connected to their own children. Also, our branch church regularly adopts a congregational \"prayer focus\" on a specific community or national issue, and it's gratifying for us to be praying currently about \"Breaking cycles of material belief regarding parentage.\"",

Another reason prison ministries are important is because, when someone's imprisoned, they have fewer reasons to be distracted from investigating C.S. and, I would think, a lot more time to ponder its truths.  When one has nowhere to go but \"up\", I suspect a lot of inmates are looking for a \"ladder\".   I'm always uplifted by seeing these encouraging videos!",
