Capps Ministries Books are in Prison!
Capps Ministries Donates 1,800 Books to Prison Ministries!
Prison ministry is not a new thing for Capps Ministries. Over the years we have silently supported many prison ministries with donations of books directly to chaplains who have requested materials. (Due to restrictions, we do not send donations directly to prisoners.)
In December of 2021, Capps Ministries had the honor of donating a total of 1,800 Boxed Gift Editions of The Tongue a Creative Force to several prison ministries for distribution to inmates at Christmas. It is so exciting to be able to plant the seeds of the Word of God to those who are imprisoned during the holidays, especially to some who may not receive a single gift at Christmas, much less one that can change their lives!
Charles Capps began his ministry by ministering to inmates at “Tucker Prison” early in the 1960’s. As a small child, I still remember Dad preparing to drive 10 miles to the small town of Tucker, Arkansas. At that time, some of the most hardened criminals faced death in the infamous “electric chair.” Dad wanted to make certain that they had an opportunity to make Jesus their Lord and Savior and spend eternity with God.
"I was in prison and you visited me.” Matthew 25:36"Free my soul from prison, that I may praise your name." Psalm 142:7
