 A PLEA FOR YOUR HELP.   

Dear friend,

Our work proceeds now at full steam.  Thanks to you and others, we are actually doing it!  What we've been working for these five years is now operational!
  • THE DARRINGTON PRISON SEMINARY.  Next May, the Southwestern Seminary at Darrington penitentiary will send out another 35-40 graduates into 6-7 "Field Ministry Prisons" here in Texas.  And each year thereafter, with your help.
  • FIELD MINISTRY SUPPORT AND DEVELOPMENT.  Once the inmate Field Ministers are transferred (in teams of 4-5 men each) to their assigned prisons, they will begin their ministry activities there, not as volunteers, but at full-time ministers to help their fellow inmates find new hearts, new morals, new lives, through the Gospel of Jesus Christ and its impact.  We will be there help the Field Minister get their ministries planted and developed, by recruiting local churches from their prison's community to help them develop and sustain their ministries.
  • Remember, our graduates are men who are doing extremely long sentences.  They will be able to work as Field Ministers for a long time, and what better way for a changed man to serve his time than in the service of God.
Only with your ongoing support now, can we continue our efforts 

Please help us now.  We cannot keep our efforts going without the private funding that only friends like you can provide. 

If you wish to make a donation other than online, and would like to speak to someone, please call us at 281-850-8103. And our mailing address is at the bottom of this page.

Thank you, and may God lead your heart to pray for our work and to help us in whatever way you are able.  In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, may we wish you a very Merry Christmas-- from all of us at The Heart of Texas Foundation.   Thank you!






This captivating daily devotional was written by Students at the prison Seminary you help us fund:  The Southwestern Seminary at Darrington Penitentiary.  
 Merry Christmas to the World.  "Exiles" is here.


After nearly three years of work, three of our Darrington Seminary students (now graduating Seniors, Class of 2016) have produced the first book to emerge from Darrington Seminary.  This is "Exiles, A Prisoner's Daily Devotional."  

All proceeds from Exiles go to "From East to West Ministries," a 501(c)(3) ministry.  That ministry is not connected to Heart of Texas Foundation, but they are connected to the children of incarcerated parents!

The book is captivating for inmates and free-world people as well.  It is over 400 pages, with one devotional for each day and additional resources for the reader.
