The Casey & Gilbert Prison Outreach

Our prison outreach began with one simple act of obedience: a dedicated woman sent Pastor Stephen’s teaching notes year after year to her incarcerated nephew. Through this faithful witness, God softened her nephew's heart to the life-saving message of the Gospel. Many years later, after his release from federal prison, he continues to serve the Lord through ministry.

Years later, the same woman informed VBVMI that prisons had begun providing inmates with tablets capable of accessing Bible teaching.  In response, in 2024, VBVMI partnered with God Behind Bars to bring verse-by-verse Bible teaching to those incarcerated in the United States through the Pando App, a platform that allows inmates to access free Bible teaching 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

VBVMI humbly dedicates this prison outreach in honor of their faithful obedience: The Casey & Gilbert Prison Outreach.

How You Can Help:

- If you know someone involved in prison ministry, help connect them with VBVMI.
- If you know someone incarcerated, tell them to ask if their facility uses the Pando App—it may already be available to them.
- If their prison does not yet participate, send us the facility’s contact information, and we’ll reach out directly.
- You can also donate directly to support this outreach program and help us reach more lives with God’s Word.
