In 1991, Allen Chambers, who was the Program Assistant for Aftercare Initiatives,
gave this valuable quote about the nature of aftercare mentoring:

“We learned that mentoring is different from any other type of ministry PF implements.  Unlike an event-type ministry like the In-Prison Seminar, it is a process oriented ministry that is ongoing.  This process is much more difficult to establish, define, manage and count statistically.  Mentoring has the greatest potential to change lives, but it also requires the most work and risk on the part of PF and the mentors”
– From the forward of the Mentor Basic Training Manual

What Mr. Chambers said in 1991 rings true for Golden Key Prison Ministry and our volunteer mentors today.  We know that mentoring, which is actually discipling in spiritual, mental, and practical ways, still holds the greatest potential in changing lives for the long run.  But it is time-consuming, heart-breaking at times, hard to quantify, risky, AND exhilarating, fulfilling, and Biblically true to Jesus’ call to His followers:

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations…teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you,
​and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age”

– Matthew 28:19-20 New King James Version
