The Institutional Missionary And The Spiritual Rehabilitation Of The Prisoner, E. A. Duemling
The Institutional Missionary And The Spiritual Rehabilitation Of The Prisoner, E. A. Duemling
Concordia Theological Monthly
This dejected and rejected man is not forgotten by the Church. Whatever we may think of prisoners and their crimes, the fact nevertheless remains that each and every one has an immortal soul, for which the Savior also bled and died on Calvary's cross. It is God's will that the wicked should turn from his ways and live. Cognizant of the fact that the Lord enjoins the Church to preach the Gospel to every creature, a missionary chaplain is sent to the abode of convicted men. It is the Gospel that will save them from eternal condemnation.

The institutional missionary is engaged in a special mission endeavor, which is not only very difficult but also requires much experience and training. He deals chiefly with people confined in public institutions, the afflicted, sick, dependent, and the unfortunates, trying to win them for Christ. He is not only a missionary- preacher but also a pastor and spiritual adviser.
