Update: CHH Kite Program - Coverage & Tips

Good news, our Christian Hip Hop Kites Program was featured on the front page of the Houston Chronicle's website last night. (See image above.)

I also thought it would be helpful to pass along the following information and resource links to help you maximize your safety and ministry impact of any correspondence you might decide to send.

NOTE:

This is a GREAT way to minister and can be very effective, however, please remain cautious when corresponding with inmates. Providing personal information about yourself, such as your full name, physical address, telephone number, date of birth, etc., may fall into the hands of someone it was not meant for and could have ill effects.

County, State or Federal Facilities will not deliver items which are considered to be contraband. For specific information regarding what contraband is, contact the unit where the inmate resides and ask for this information.

A few updates on our Christian Hip Hop Kite Program that seems to be gaining momentum.

First, thanks for all the sites and blogs that helped promote this including the Houston Chronicle's faith blog, The Wade-O Radio Show, Holy Culture.net, DaSouth.com, and others.

Second, I have a new name for us courtesy of Houston's IBC.

Pharoah is a member of Houston's underground Street Military/South Park Coalition collective. IBC tells me he's been writing Pharaoh for a minute.

You can hit him at the address below:

And finally, 007 recently Tweeted that:

Now go pick up a pen and pad.
