A ministry of the Oklahoma Conference of the United Methodist Church, CJAMM touches
hearts through the development of Christian relationships. Volunteers with CJAMM visit
inmates in prisons across the state of Oklahoma, helping them to free themselves from
addictions and criminal behavior.
Since its founding, CJAMM has helped numerous former inmates to reunite with their
families and gain employment and housing, enabling them to live as contributing members
of society. Ministry staff and volunteers have provided services such as preparing meals,
transportation to churches, Bible education, and mentorship.
