Building Chapels

in Louisiana’s

Prisons

Construction of the new chapel at the State Police Barracks is under way, but we need your help to finish this important project. Over the past two years, our team has completed land surveying, soil testing, structural engineering, dirt work and the foundation. We are now erecting the metal building. We have sufficient funds to secure a roof over the enclosed building, but the time is now to complete and furnish this chapel. The staff and inmates at the Police Barracks have worked hard and waited patiently. We need your help. On page 3, you will find a Wish List of supplies. Please consider helping us put the finishing touches on this chapel. We have received a donation to build a designated space for the Bible College at Angola. Plans are underway and work should begin in January 2015. We continue to explore options of partnership with other entities to spread the Kingdom of God within correctional facilities and hope to discover other ways we can strengthen and build relationships with families and other ministries. The continuation and growth of God’s work in Louisiana’s prisons is dependent on your prayers and your financial support. Please consider making a gift to the Louisiana Chapel Foundation before year’s end.

Besides building chapels in Louisiana prisons, the Louisiana Chapel Foundation plays another vital role in the state’s correction system – we are a vital liaison with the faith community, ensuring that they feel connected to the facilities in which they serve. The foundation helps make them more effective in their ministry. The Chapel Foundation also helps spread the good news about how moral rehabilitation or restoration has changed the way Louisiana incarcerates people. Many times, the foundation lends an understanding ear to families of incarcerated individuals. Those family members are usually innocent bystanders who have been devastated and alienated by the crime of their loved one. They often need someone to understand their struggles and help them understand how the corrections system works and provide counsel on how to navigate it. Our yearly operating budget not only funds the oversight of chapel construction, but all the other important work described above. All of that costs approximately $65,000 a year. This covers one salaried employee, insurance, postage, printing, computer and software, professional services, website management and telecommunications. At the end of 2014, we will be $25,000 short of balancing our annual budget. The Foundation’s administrative costs are 10 percent of donations. Ninety percent of every dollar goes to building and furnishing chapels. In recent years, as we near the end of our scheduled building projects, we have found ourselves with a deficit. If you believe the work and ministry of the chapel foundation should continue and extend beyond the simple building of chapels, please consider helping us with a financial contribution. Our director, Cindy Mann, or any board member, would be happy to speak with you and answer your questions about the work of the foundation.
