PREVENTION -- EMPOWERING INMATES TO NEVER RETURN.  At PPM we believe the key to spiritual growth, once the inmate has made a clear commitment to change, is small group seminars. These seminars provide inmates with the tools and "staying power" to stay away from their former life and truly become new creatures in Christ Jesus. Many know the milk of the Word, but need to focus on their personal and spiritual growth as a believer. While continuing to retain some current regular services, PPM's focus is shifting to prevention through discipleship seminars. Inmates must sign up, agree to attend regularly for about 12 weeks, complete homework, and actively participate in group discussions. This insures that the commitment is there to make significant and lasting change, with Christ's help. Testimonials from Inmates: I have thoroughly enjoyed the seminar. It has really taught me how to use my Bible to study. This format is a lot better than the church setting. I have a better or easier time asking questions. Being able to come to this seminar and talk about things in my life similar to the example in the Bible is a big help. I have learned that I am forgiven no matter what I’ve done. I plan to stay the new creation in Christ that I have become.
