Shepherd's Heart Ministries, Inc. — Organization Profile
Shepherd's Heart Ministries, Inc. is a Christian prison ministry affiliated with the Independent Christian Churches and Churches of Christ in the Restoration Movement. The ministry is focused on bringing the Gospel, pastoral care, chaplaincy, counseling, discipleship, and long-term support to incarcerated people, juvenile offenders, ex-inmates, and their families.
The ministry is based in Speedway, Indiana, and serves correctional settings and people connected to incarceration in Indiana, including county jails and state correctional facilities. Public ministry materials identify work connected to the Marion County Jail in Indianapolis, the Madison County Jail in Anderson, the Indiana Women’s Prison, and other correctional ministry contexts.
Shepherd's Heart Ministries takes its name from the Parable of the Lost Sheep in Luke 15. Its public materials describe a calling to go after people many others have written off, especially incarcerated youth and adults who are isolated, lonely, spiritually searching, or facing long sentences. The ministry’s approach combines biblical teaching, pastoral presence, personal testimony, correspondence, chaplaincy, counseling, and relational follow-up.
Shawn and Lynn Springer bring complementary experience to the ministry. Shawn’s story includes incarceration, spiritual transformation, Bible study, and a later call to return to correctional settings as a minister. Lynn has served in jail and prison ministry since 1987, with a particular focus on juvenile offenders, including youth who have been remanded to the adult system. Her work has included Bible studies, pastoral care, volunteer coordination, training, and long-term correspondence and visits with incarcerated people.
The ministry has served through Bible studies, pastoral care, Celebrate Recovery, chapel services, volunteer chaplaincy, juvenile ministry, correspondence with inmates, support for ex-inmates, and relationships with families affected by incarceration. Its public site also includes articles, testimony pages, prayer requests, recommendations, pictures, prison poems, and project-support information related to correctional ministry.
People can engage with Shepherd's Heart Ministries, Inc. by praying, giving, contacting the ministry, reading ministry updates, supporting chaplaincy and counseling work, and helping provide spiritual and financial support for ongoing prison outreach. Its distinct contribution is Restoration Movement prison ministry rooted in lived experience, long-term jail and prison presence, juvenile offender care, and Gospel-centered discipleship for people affected by incarceration.

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.
