Forgotten Man Ministries brings together inmates, chaplains, and layworkers in the study and ministry of God's Word. FMM chaplains and associate chaplains conduct daily in-house jail ministries that include Bible distribution, Biblical counseling, bookcarts, Bible correspondence courses, group Bible studies, and facilitate local church worship services and inmate discipleship programs.
The Great Commission
Jesus told us that we were to go and make disciples of all the nations. This of course includes jail inmates. We must follow the example of Jesus who ministered to the publicans, sinners, thieves and harlots. People who are sick with sin need the Great Physician to heal them. Today, Forgotten Man Ministries follows in Christ's footsteps by bringing the healing powers of the Great Physician to those incarcerated in our Michigan jails and prisons.
The Jail Chaplain
Coordinates committed volunteers and assists local churches in a comprehensive array of jail ministry endeavors. Support comes through local Christian churches, individuals, and businesses. Forgotten Man MInistries receives NO government support.
Results Expected
An effective jail chaplaincy program will provide the following results:

1. Significant and lasting changes in lives of inmates.
2. Reduction in jail recidivism (rate of return)
3. Greater community involvement in jail ministry.
