Eric Penick and Mike Clark started our prison ministry in 1998 and have provided chapel services, grief counseling, Bible study and one-on-one mentoring to at risk youth since then.  While we will work with adults, our focus has and always will be with the youth.  We are currently active as chaplains for Dallas County in their Juvenile Detention Department. 

Eric has always wanted to do prison ministry full time and, now at the age of 65, he is finding that trying to maintain his business consultancy work is impacting his attempts to start the full time ministry. He has approached several charity organizations but nothing has come to fruition. We will continue this approach since working with other groups are one of our points of focus but we decided to try starting our own ministry and getting donations for that in our own 501(c)(3). We started this process in October, 2018 and are processing all the paperwork to finish it. During this time, we are continuing our work at the Dallas County Juvenile Detention in their Youth Village facility every Sunday. Eric however really needs to be out there daily and wants to add more facilities and additional organizations to the ministry. This is going to require more time away from his money production pursuits and require an increasing need on donations. If this is God's will, we hope to have a fully funded, full time minister working every day in the ministry. This minister will be Eric while Mike continues his current business activities and joins him during the Sunday services and fills in as time allows. Also keep Mike's effort in prayer to detail Eric's path back into God's Grace in his biography, "Eric Penick, By the Grace of God".
