Mission Statement
The mission of
GAChaplains.org is to provide information and
opportunities for ministry to NGO's
(non-governmental organizations such as churches
and prison ministries) and to assist in the ministry
of chaplaincy in Georgia Prisons in light of the
drastic cuts in the number of professional
chaplains brought about by the recent economic
downturn. The number
of chaplains per inmate population has gone from
about 500 inmates per chaplain to almost 3000
inmates per chaplain! Where there were
multiple chaplains per prison, there are
multiple prisons per chaplain! Much of
our time is now consumed with travel to multiple
prisons. It is our
hope that with the increased support of other
individuals and organizations we can
successfully accomplish our mission of changing
the hearts of those in prison that they may
return to society as changed persons and good
citizens.
