In 1974 five men with a vision to reach the people of Missouri for Christ established the St. Louis center. Through the use of Emmaus courses, what was then a handful of students has grown to an active student enrollment over 2,600 students now in 218 prisons/jails.
1 in 3 people know someone who has been arrested or behind bars. We believe that if we can reach the person incarcerated then he/she will reach out to their family and friends with the Gospel. We can literally change the world through our prisons!!!
Set Free Ministries serves inmates in prisons and jails in Missouri and Illinois. These incarcerated students account for the majority our enrollment, but we also serve students from the general public through our domestic ministry. Nearly 36,000 courses were sent out in 2016 and just over 28,000 were graded.
Our desire is to make the Emmaus road to Bible knowledge available to everyone.
