------------------------------------------------------------   Page 4 M-2 Program

 The Association of Christian Churches of South Dakota sponsors the M-2 Program (man-to-man visitation) at the SD State Penitentiary in Sioux Falls.  Courts send inmates to the penitentiary not only from all across the state but also from all across the country who were passing through on vacation and stay for incarceration.  Being far from family and friends, many are lonely and disheartened.  They may feel the whole world is against them unless someone voluntarily comes to visit.  God has placed a mission on our doorstep.

As coordinator of the M-2 Program, I am willing to come speak upon invitation to any size group gathering, men, women, youth, mixed, all ages.  I am also willing to fill in for pulpit supply upon invitation.    Contact:  Don Klassen, M-2 Office S.D.S.P., Box 5911, Sioux Falls, SD 57117-5911 or call (605) 367-5117 and leave a message anytime.

Prison Visitations

Pastors from out of town have reported being denied visits to the penitentiary.  Pastors need to write or call the Cultural Activities Coordinator to send a Penitentiary Access form for them to complete and submit for a background check.
