Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering. (Hebrews 13:3)
The Amy Foundation is promoting the use of A Discipled Nation Plan Curriculum in prisons across the country! This innovative material is making a difference in one of the harshest environments in society- local jails and federal prisons.

| If you read the outstanding testimonies on our site, you will quickly gain a sense of the powerful, unique nature our A Discipled Nation Plan Curriculum. Here are the practical reason the material is a good fit for prison ministries:
- Easy-to-lead. Bible study leaders can spend less time preparing to teach. They only have to do the lessons and daily challenges-just like the students-and then read over the Leader's Guide for helpful hints to get class started.
- Participation-oriented. The material is great at developing discussion, so the class essentially teaches itself once the conversation starts.
- Team-teaching. Because the material is participation-oriented, relying more on inmate discussion than teaching lecture, it lends itself to team-teaching, so a prison ministry group could have multiple teachers for one class and teach through the material without major conflict over continuity.
- Ownership. Inmates have few personal belongings. They feel ownership in the class when someone hands them a substantial book like A Discipled Nation Plan Workbook. This "ownership" encourages participation and attendance in class.
- Connecting. In addition to creating a sense of belonging, the material offers another benefit: inmates know and appreciate that churches and small groups outside their prison are using the same materials.

Prisoners typically do not have funds to purchase their own books, that is why The Amy Foundation is going to "match" workbook donations to prison ministries. For every $10 workbook purchased, we will provide an extra workbook, essentially providing "2-for-1." (This is a tax deductible gift. We will provide you with proof of contribution via email.)
Click here if you are interested in donating (type "prisonministry" in the coupon code). If you have a specific prison, jail, or prison ministry where you would like us to send the books, please add this in the "comment" field when processing your credit card payment. If you would like to donate by check, please mail it to The Amy Foundation, P.O. Box 16091, Lansing, Michigan 48901. For more information write info@adisciplednation.com
