Great Mission Fields Are Nearby
The mission field is not always across the ocean.
Sometimes it’s right across town—fields white for harvest, waiting for willing workers.
The Call to the Harvest (John 4:35-36)
“You know the saying, “Four months between planting and harvest.’ But I say, wake up and look around. The fields are already ripe for harvest…” — John 4:35-36
Jesus calls His followers to wake up and recognize the ripe mission fields—in places we often overlook, like our local prisons.
Behind the walls of our local prisons are a multitude of men hoping for someone to come and teach them God’s ways. We can be that someone.
The Local Mission Field Is Huge
And it is Ripe for Harvest
We currently minister to more than 220 inmates every week. But if we expanded into all 13 prisons, trustee camps and jails nearby—we could reach over 400 men weekly—a truly abundant harvest.
Even more impactful is its ripple effect. Participants share what they learn with their families, friends, and fellow inmates, multiplying the message of hope and transformation well beyond prison walls.
The eternal impact of this ministry is truly immeasurable.
Aligned With Church Mission Objectives
This nearby harvest aligns perfectly with the core mission of the local church—to reach the lost, disciple believers, and restore families through the transforming power of Christ.
Yet many churches and believers simply do not know how to begin reaching those in prison.
That’s where programs like Malachi Dads come in—offering a clear, structured, and proven way to bring the hope of Christ behind the walls.
The Harvest Is Near — Will You Go?
The mission field isn’t distant—it’s right here among us. Every week, men behind bars are wanting to hear the Good News.
The opportunity is not across the ocean; it’s across town.
When volunteers and churches step into this local harvest, lives are changed, families are restored, and communities are renewed.
You don’t have to cross an ocean to be a missionary — step into the local harvest field.
