THE HISTORY
The Well House ministry began in 1996 at the Adams County jail with a team of twelve women going in pairs each Saturday morning. The women offered bible study and prayer and distributed bibles to inmates. Upon release from jail, some women received spiritual guidance, furniture for apartment, clothing, and help with utility and rent payments. The Well House leadership began to see the need for additional help for those women who were leaving incarceration so that they could assimilate into their communities as productive contributors to society. Today, the teams are still visiting the jail. Many of the charter women are still serving, as well as a number of new volunteers who have a heart for jail ministry.
