Dear Friends of Prison Outreach:
God, through Jesus Christ, is the ONLY ONE that can change the hearts of those incarcerated.
What a thrill to know what God is doing for these men!
When friends like you pray and give to support this ministry, you are a partner in helping to make a difference in the lives of prisoners who need Christ.
I am sure you have received many letters like this during this season of giving, but Prison Outreach needs your help today. Lives are being transformed and your gift will make an eternal difference. We need your help now. Can we count on you? Our commitment is to serve the Lord in the prisons of Delaware.
Thank you for your prayers and financial support as God continues to change lives in our prisons.
Your gifts are tax deductible.
Donald Pickup Vice-President
Dear Friends:
In 1963, Rev. Ralph Cavanaugh started Outreach to Troubled Teens to bring God’s gift of salvation through Jesus Christ to troubled boys incarcerated in Delaware.
Forty-eight years later, the name has changed to Prison Outreach of Delaware Inc and there are now three (3) Chaplains: Joe Kadtke, Tim Heald, and Steve Anderson ministering to the 5,330 inmates incarcerated and those entering back into the community. The message brought forty-eight years ago remains the same, God’s gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. . . . the name has changed but the same message brought forty-eight years ago is still the same, “God’s gift of salvation through Jesus Christ”.
For all these years this has been a faith based ministry; depending on God to supply our needs through churches and friends like you who pray faithfully and give sacrificially. Prison Outreach of Delaware continually needs your prayers. Without them, we cannot exist. We need your financial support now. Our income for 2011 is presently $10,000 behind our expenses. Can you help?
God had provided the ministry needs all these years. We trust He will continue to provide. To God be all glory. Thank you for your continued prayers, for your generous gift today, and for any future gifts from you.
(Include instructions for United Way and Pay pal giving.)
May God Bless You,
Donald Pickup

A Word from David Adjei
Dear Friends of Prison Outreach of Delaware Inc:
A couple of cousins planned a trip to visit family in Charleston, WV some few years ago. They made the correct flight arrangments from Europe and the family in Charleston planned accommodations, sight-seeing and camping trips across the Blue Ridge mountains to upstate New York. Everyone was excited. All went well on the outbound trip from Europe, except that in changing flights at a major International airport, the cousins boarded a flight that took them to Charleston, SC. They expected their family to pick them up on arrival. An hour went by as they waited pressuming a traffic jam may be causing delays. Several more minutes later, they called to announce their arrival, only to realize that they had lost their way. Being late in the day, they now needed more money to cover expenses for an overnight accommodation and a flight from South Carolina to West Virginia to meet their family. It proved expensive finding a way back on their vacation itinerary after losing their way.
Prison Outreach of Delaware ministers in leading people, who have lost their way in life and are incarcerated in Delaware’s prisons, to the saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. Prison Outreach Staff along with several Volunteers hold Bible Study, teaching and counselling sessions in the DE prisons, and provide assistance in integration of ex-offenders to normal life in society. We consider this ministry a prime opportunity for most of the incarcerated to experience forgiveness and fellowship, and also prepare for integration in society. It is indeed expensive to run such a ministry.
One of the urgent needs of the minstry is a computer and software system to manage the financial (accounting and reporting) and other administrative needs of the ministry. The cost for the system has been estimated to be about $3500. Government now expects financial reporting to be done electronically from January 2011, as manual filing will draw penalties. This is making the need for the computer system all the more urgent before the end of the year. Unfortunately funds are not available to meet this need,
We would appreciate your prayerful consideration for support in any amount you are able to contribute to this challenging goal, so the computer system will be available for use before the new year. Should you need any other information, please feel free to call the office at (302) 998-5502.
Thanks for your participation in reaching the incarcerated with the Good News of salvation through Christ alone, and providing the opportunity for reconciliation with family, friends and society in general.

Prison Outreach of Delaware is not an occasional, weekly or monthly ministry. Our ministry staff works in the institutions every day; evangelizing, preaching, teaching and counseling inmates. Their work has had significant impact on those inmates that are currently incarcerated as well as those who have been released and are back living in our communities.
The Lord has richly blessed this ministry through your prayers and financial support for many years. We are very thankful tor the prayers and support of our church sponsors and individual supporters of this ministry.
Our goal is to not only serve those who are incarcerated, but also to care for our full-time staff. In the past 5 years, we have tried to be the best stewards of the funds the Lord has provided us through your giving. We have cut where ever we could and have maintained the same level of benefits and salaries for the past 5 years.
We have set a goal to build our finances to a 3 month reserve of $60,000. This will allow us to cover our operating expenses in those lean months when we don’t reach our regularly budgeted expenses of $18,000 per month.
We would also like to budget a pay increase for our staff in the next fiscal year. Please join us in reaching our goals for 2010.
Again, thank you for your financial support and please continue to keep us in your prayers.
Warmest Regards,
Bruce S. Boone
Board President
