Dodge Correctional Institution has welcomed MPM into its teaching classes.
January, 2008, begins our 6th year at DCI. More inmates continue to join each week, bringing our classes to 35+. As the number of incarcerations increases, the need for recovery programs becomes more necessary. Chaplain Paul Rogers, Past President of the ACCA (American Correctional Chaplains Association) has worked with Reverend Michael to facilitate the introduction of MPM's weekly Spiritual Recovery Class: "A Way Out."
The class meets in the prison chapel once a week for two hours. "A Way Out" is based on A Course in Miracles, the 12-Step Program and the teachings of Jesus in the New Testament. The major topics cover God Dependency, Self Responsibility, Rigorous Honesty, Forgiveness and Gratitude. It is an interactive class with a combination of lectures, discussions, audiovisual material and guest speakers. The class is an individualized program focusing on the recovery and healing of the inmates mind and heart. It is designed to assist in the reintegration of the inmate with his or her family, the community and society as a whole.

Our on-site training Program of Spiritual Recovery at New Lisbon Correctional Facility is well under way and has been met with a great deal of enthusiasm and commitment. We are conducting 2 classes with about 50 student/inmates. Both the staff and inmates have sincerely welcomed MPM and the A WAY OUT Program. We are all seeing and experiencing real healing through the change of individual minds as a direct result of practicing God-Dependency using the 12-Steps, the New Testament and A Course in Miracles.
Currently we are preparing to expand the program at New Lisbon by continuing the classes already in progress and offering new classes to include more inmates who wish to enroll.
We look forward to continued spiritual maturity with all involved.
God Bless Us......Each and Every One
