Doing HIS Time Prison Ministry was founded in June of 1999 by James C. Vogelzang. Doing HIS Time, a Christ-centered prison ministry, puts into practice the wisdom of St. Francis by delivering practical, hands-on solutions to the challenges associated with incarceration and reintegration for inmates and their families.

Doing HIS Time initiates original ministry programs. But, Doing HIS Time prefers to partner with churches and other para-church organizations to bring hope to prisoners and their families by being the “face and hands of Christ” in actual, tangible ways.

Those concrete ways include transportation for the familiesof inmates on visiting days (Barn-A-Bus). The “face and hands of Christ” are visible in reintegration programs that assist inmates during their first 72 hours after release. (72 Hour Fund).

In addition, James C. Vogelzang, President of Doing HIS Time, has written a devotional especially for those in prison. Currently over 100,000 copies have been distributed throughout the USA and in Africa. The Spanish Edition: Cumpliendo SU tiempo will be distributed in October of 2009.
