Chaplain Dan Evans
I have been involved with GEMS since 2016 as a volunteer chaplain, but really have been touched by them long before Dan Nase ever asked me to come to a meeting! When I was incarcerated at Liberty CI from 2001-2008, I was moved by this group of men who would come down to the compound and actually “hang out” with us on “our turf” instead of the inmate population going up to the chapel. I saw what kind of an impact that had on those who had the hardest of hearts. Their mindset was, “If these guys aren’t afraid to come where I am, then I can at least listen to what they have to say either here on the compound or up at the chapel.”
So, I determined to one day be a part of a ministry that did these things such as eat with the guys in the chow hall, go to confinement and pray with the guys back there, etc.” God planted His seed for prison ministry in my heart through GEMS doing what they do.
I am the Director of Harvest of Life Prison Ministry. I oversee the following: we have three ministry teams (West Team, North Team, & South Team) that go into 23 different Institutions every month for worship services. We cover this state from Santa Rosa CI all the way down to Martin CI & Sago Palm Re-Entry.
Harvest of Life corresponds with over 2,000 current or former brothers-in-blue. We also are the sponsor of the Faith & Character Dorm on the ladies’ compound of Gadsden CF. Our volunteers teach four classes weekly and are blessed to be a part of these ladies’ lives and helping them find and follow Jesus!
We also send out, on average, over 150 Spanish Study Bibles to our new believers requesting these Bibles form inside our ICE and Federal Detention facilities. God is on the move!
I am so thankful for Gospel Express coming to visit me all those years ago and God using them in my life! Through the wonderful support of this ministry God has provided a way and opportunity for me to be an encouragement to those who may not have any hope to know that all things are possible with God! My life’s verse is Jeremiah 32:27, “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh; is there anything too hard for Me?”
