Prison Ministry

Hi! My name is Danny Hampton Jr.. Soon after arriving and putting my feet down in the Marion area last summer, as God would have it, I learned of the part time Chaplain’s job being open at the Minimum Security Prison. I learned that the position was sponsored and funded by McDowell Mission Ministries. Is God amazing or what? By His grace and leadership I now find myself serving God by serving those in prison. God has already begun revealing the fulfilling of His new call on my life.

I am so excited about all that God has in store. I am looking forward to getting to know more of you, the churches that make up the Kingdom of God in McDowell County. I and my family are so blessed to be joining God in His work in the lives of the hurting, broken, and imprisoned in this area. Last Spring my heart was torn and broken by a new sense of calling God was raising up within it. This fall, my heart is overflowing with gratitude and anticipation. God is up to great things. He has given me and my family the privilege of joining with Him by joining with you in His work here in McDowell. Wow! Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

Our Chaplain ministry provides a part time chaplain who works with inmates and their families at Marion’s two correctional institutions. He provides counseling, worship, and educational opportunities for the inmates. He also assists them with personal, family matters, and the transition process back into society.
