How You Can Help
Sponsor a Man in the Program
When the Good Samaritan became involved in the life of the wounded man in the ditch, Luke 10:29-36, he committed himself to the man’s total recovery. We ask sponsors to commit themselves to the man they are sponsoring by bringing him to Dunklin, aiding him while he is here, and helping him when he is ready to leave. Aftercare is often the most neglected area of regeneration. The following are some helpful suggestions when sponsoring a man:
- Pray for the man and his family daily
- Communicate with him regularly by letter or personal visits. Some of our men never receive a letter during their entire stay
- Send him necessary toiletries
- Keep in contact with the man’s family
- Help the man readjust after he graduates. Your involvement may greatly influence his success
- Before approaching the man about a job, we suggest you contact a program counselor and ask about the man’s readiness to leave the program
