Description
Prodigal
Ministries was formed in 1994 as a nonprofit Christian ministry
that is part of the Fourth Avenue United Methodist Church in Louisville,
Kentucky. The number of clients served by Prodigal Ministries is
limited to 12-15 former offenders and their families at any given
time. The organization aids former offenders by helping them move
from despair to productivity through mentoring, Christian counseling,
support groups, and employment assistance. Individuals are required
to attend two support group meetings per month to maintain their
status as clients.
