A Clear Path for Growth Through Every Course
Structured Learning That Builds Over Time
Many people are looking for more than a single booklet—they want a program that provides direction and continuity. Write-Way Prison Ministries offers a defined course path with approximately 60 Bible-based studies, each building on the last. As each course is completed, students receive recognition and move forward with confidence.
Part of the Emmaus Worldwide Network
Write-Way Prison Ministries operates as part of Emmaus Worldwide, a Bible correspondence program established in 1942 and used in over 100 countries and dozens of languages. This connection means every course is part of a trusted, structured curriculum that has been used globally for decades.
In the United States, Emmaus supports prison outreach through state coordinators who guide curriculum use and distribution. Write-Way applies this model locally from Garland, TX, combining established Emmaus courses with additional discipleship materials to support consistent, long-term study.
The program is sustained by volunteers and supported in part by broader Emmaus course distribution, helping keep all prison courses free and accessible to those enrolled.
