One of the most important goals of CMCA is to further the Great Commission by building an association of collaborating correctional ministries. Considering the vast and diverse dynamics surrounding correctional ministries, the number of members in such an association could be incredible. Unifying such an army of believers is certainly pleasing to God and those we serve.
However, numbers of people alone are not significant unless they actively support or serve the group’s mission.

Walking at night required trusting in paths and having a light to negotiate those paths. So it is in our spiritual lives; we trust in the paths God has laid before us and He truly is the lamp unto our feet.
