Abstract

This project for children of incarcerated parents in Rockingham County and community was designed to address the problem that a disproportionate number of African-American children have at least one parent incarcerated and the church has a divine mandate to respond to their basic needs. Preparation involved research in understanding the larger culture of our country, Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the context of the ministry and understanding a clear theological purpose justifying the project. Some collaboration between the Jerusalem United Holy Church and other agencies was part of the project, especially in identifying the children and exposing them to positive experiences. The project involved training mentors for the children by use of a PowerPoint presentation and measuring the effectiveness with pre- and post-tests. The mentoring of children in this project lasted for six months followed by thorough evaluations.
