RU Recovery Ministries Reaches the incarcerated in Jail & Prison

We offer a few different options for helping the incarcerated find freedom IN Christ. We offer a Correspondence Course using the curriculum of RU Inside. We also offer RU Inside as a class in many Prisons & Jails throughout the country.

OPTION ONE: Send a friend or loved one the RUInside Correspondence Course.

This course includes both a package for the incarcerated and a package for the sponsor or family of the incarcerated. It includes:

Overcomer Workbook – This book tells you how to begin your recovery by developing a personal relationship with God.
Phase 1 Workbook – This workbook explains how to have recovery without relapse, as well as how to deal with adversity.
Phase 2 Workbook – This workbook introduces the fruit of the Spirit, and how to experience true love, joy, and peace.
Phase 3 Workbook – This workbook explores the fruit of the Spirit in relationships, such as longsuffering, gentleness, and goodness.
Phase 4 Workbook – This workbook reveals the personal impact of fruit of the Spirit: faith, meekness, and temperance
Daily Recovery Journal – This journal is a tool to learn to communicate with God every day. 6 months is provided
“an effective way to experience Recovery without Relapse for someone who resides in an institution”

The incarcerated can complete this course and fill out the enclosed card and send it for a Completion Certificate.

OPTION TWO: Start a RUInside Chapter in a local Jail or Prison.

God designed the civil authority to be the external behavior modifier of intemperate individuals. However, He also designed His Spirit for internal behavior modification. The support of the local church is His solution for reducing recidivism in our communities. We do this by teaching them to obtain and nurture a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. These teachings will give them the tools to remain free from the addiction that incarcerated them. Our goal is to guide them toward law-abiding citizens when they return to their communities.

All of this can be accomplished if you will familiarize yourself with our Christ-centered, Bible-believing​, addictions program of RU Recovery Ministries. RUInside is a ministry of RU Recovery Ministries. It is designed to reach those who are bound spiritually to sin and physically in jails or prisons.

RU Beyond is an initiative by RU Recovery Ministries to reach the international community with a faith-based addiction program that has seen great success in the United States. Our mission is to develop an ​international curriculum that is affordable and flexible enough to be used in various economic and sociological conditions throughout the world and to start chapters in Bible-believing churches to help them reach their communities.

RU Full Throttle is a weekly program that meets on Friday night just for teens. At Full Throttle, every message is designed to impact teenagers right where they live, dealing with the issues and struggles they face every day. We talk directly about what the teens are facing, and how the Bible has the answers to their problems.

Statistics tell us that teenagers and young adults are leaving the church in droves, frustrated by a religious system of traditions that do not address the issues they face and the lives they live. According to the Barna research group, one-third of teens say “church is boring”, and one-quarter say “faith is not relevant to my career or interests”. Sixty percent of teens who grew up attending church will leave it within two years of graduating high school, and by the time college graduation comes around the number rises to 80%.

Why?

We believe it is because even though the Bible has the answers to these young adults’ questions and struggles, Christians generally do a terrible job at engaging teenagers with those answers. We have the Power of the ages at our disposal; and yet, we present that to teens in a boring and unexciting way.

That’s why RU Full Throttle was created; to change the way teens are reached with the gospel. To show them just how exciting a life with Christ can be. The primary purpose of Full Throttle is to reach teenagers who have not grown up in a “church” setting and who do not have a relationship with Christ and to get your church teens involved in reaching them! We seek to introduce them to the Bible in a way that is attractive to them where they are. The purpose of Full Throttle is to help influence a generation to come to the knowledge of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ and teach them to live according to the Bible’s principles. The program is designed to fit into a Friday night RU addiction recovery meeting ​but can be used independently as a resource for reaching teens.
