CT Prison Workers NetworkIn
the fall of 2003, Lennie Spitale, founder and director
of Vision New England s Prison Ministries,
recognized that Free
Inside and Vision
New England
Prison Ministries have essentially the same
the goals, to make Christ known in every prison.
Lennie approached Free Inside in the fall of 2003 and invited Peter
Dewberry to partner with Vision New England (VNE)
as VNE s representative in Connecticut.
The
purpose of this partnership
is to encourage the preaching of the Gospel of Christ
in every prison in Connecticut, and to encourage those
men and women who faithfully go into our prisons every
week bringing the love of Christ to inmates.
Prison ministry can often be difficult,
discouraging and lonely. For these reasons the
partnership between Free Inside and Vision New England
Prison Ministries seeks to provide a forum for mutual
encouragement, prayer and the sharing of resources.
This forum is known as the Connecticut
Prison Workers Network (CPWN). A newsletter and
regular conferences for mutual spiritual encouragement
are the primary means of achieving these goals.
