Rescued Not Arrested — Organization Profile
Rescued Not Arrested is a 501(c)(3) Christian nonprofit prison ministry that exists to reach incarcerated people and their loved ones with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Great Commission. The ministry serves youth and adults in jails, prisons, correctional facilities, and re-entry settings through Bible distribution, evangelistic outreach, testimony, chaplain support, and volunteer service.
The organization is based in Phoenix, Arizona, and serves incarcerated people and families across Arizona, the United States, and international ministry locations. Its public materials describe work with county jail facilities, the Arizona State Juvenile Correctional Department, chaplains nationwide, and mission outreach connected to countries including Belize, China, Costa Rica, Kenya, Kerala India, Mexico, Nigeria, Panama, and Zimbabwe.
Rescued Not Arrested’s ministry began from the story of founder Roger Munchian, who developed a passion for outreach to people in jail and prison after his own experience of incarceration and spiritual transformation. The organization’s message emphasizes that people can be “rescued” through Christ rather than defined by arrest, conviction, or incarceration. Its work is aimed at both the incarcerated and the loved ones who carry fear, grief, and uncertainty outside prison walls.
A central part of the ministry is providing English and Spanish NIV Bibles and NIV Life Application Study Bibles to inmates and chaplains free of charge. Rescued Not Arrested states that it provides Bibles upon request from inmates and chaplains nationwide, with Life Application Study Bibles connected to completion of a nine-lesson correspondence Bible study through American Bible Academy. The ministry also provides Bibles to jail and juvenile correctional settings and has supplied chaplains with large quantities of Scripture resources.
Rescued Not Arrested also serves through re-entry support, facility outreach, baptisms, testimony sharing, volunteer service, and practical care. Its re-entry program is connected with Arizona 2nd Chance programs in state, federal, and county facilities, providing resources for inmates preparing for release. The ministry also notes that it provides prescription eyeglasses and eye exams for inmates needing vision screening.
People can engage with Rescued Not Arrested by donating, volunteering, supporting Bible distribution, serving through approved prison outreach opportunities, participating in ministry events, praying for incarcerated people and families, or contacting the ministry about chaplain requests and service opportunities. Its distinct contribution is a Gospel-centered prison ministry that combines Scripture distribution, correctional facility outreach, re-entry support, testimony, international missions, and practical care for incarcerated people and their loved ones.

The organization’s stated vision is that millions in Asia would be eternally influenced for Christ through multiple outreach ministries.
The mission has a U.S. home-office mailing contact in Ponca City, Oklahoma, while its field work is centered in Thailand and broader Southeast Asia. The ministry’s history began with J. Russell and Gertrude Morse serving in Tibet and China, continued into Burma in the early 1950s, and later relocated to Thailand in 1972. Today, NBCM describes its work as extending across multiple countries, languages, and people groups in Asia.
NBCM operates through a team of missionaries and national coworkers. Its evangelistic work includes partnering with committed national preachers to evangelize, disciple, and plant churches among tribal and local people groups. Leadership training is another core area, with Bible training courses and Bible schools serving church leaders and members across many ethnicities and languages.
The mission also supports Christian literature and media in minority languages. Its literature department in Thailand translates, designs, and prepares Bibles, hymnbooks, and other Christian materials for more than a dozen people groups. Its media and music ministries create sermons, dramas, testimonies, Christian programs, hymnbooks, music recordings, and videos that can be shared through social media and local distribution channels.
NBCM’s holistic work includes youth homes, community development, business as mission, and deaf ministry. Youth homes provide safe housing during the school year so tribal children can receive formal education while remaining connected to Christian values and their cultural identity. Development work includes agriculture, infrastructure, health and sanitation, water projects, education, church planting, and relief assistance. Deaf ministry has included churches started in Chiang Mai that are now led by local leaders.
People can engage with North Burma Christian Mission by praying for the work, subscribing to missionary newsletters, supporting individual missionaries, giving by check to the general mission fund, and learning about specific field ministries through the mission team pages. Its distinct contribution is long-term, multi-generational Christian mission work among tribal and local communities in Southeast Asia, combining Gospel proclamation with leadership training, local-language resources, and practical community care.
