Yokefellow Prison Ministry of North Carolina, Inc. is an interdenominational Christian ministry of reconciliation begun in 1969. It is founded on the idea that people’s lives are changed through committed relationships. The ministry is conducted by trained volunteers who lead weekly meetings of small groups inside North Carolina’s correctional institutions, residential reentry facilities, and partner churches. Yokefellow is not focused on worship, preaching, teaching, counseling, or Bible study, but rather on committed volunteers listening, sharing, caring, encouraging, and providing support to those on the “inside” through small group meetings.
