Prison Ministry
First Baptist
Church of Quartz Hill
With the help of
Onesimus Ministries and
Chaplin John, we have a very fulfilling Prison Ministry based at the
California State
Prison, Lancaster.
We have seen
numerous prisoners accept Christ as their Savior and have witnessed the changes
in their lives that speak of true Salvation. These men are hungry for the gospel
and have welcomed our church and men into their world.
When a church
member wants to join this ministry, they have to undergo an intensive
background check by the State of California Prison Department to make sure they
can be allowed into the prison facility. They are also required to dedicate a
lot of time for training sponsored by the prison. After that, they are
discipled by Brother Ricardo Yanez.
Ricardo has
dedicated his weekends and a lot of other time to leading and ministering is
this mission field. Ricardo is in great demand by the prisoners because of his
unique style of preaching in both English and Spanish. Ricardo is in charge of
the Prison Ministry and welcomes your help. If you’re interested in joining in
this work or getting more information about it, contact Ricardo or Pastor at
the church.

Take a look at Brother Raymond and family: 
(Could YOU leave
you family every weekend to go preach to a bunch of lost sinners at a prison? Brother
Raymond feels the Lord has directed him to do just that. Can you help by going
with him?)

How about some of the other men who’re helping with the ministry?

Take another
look at these men. That smile in their eyes comes from knowing that they’re
serving the Lord and preaching the Gospel to every creature. Join them and see
what the Lord will do in YOUR life!
