The Christian Prison Ministry in Thailand (CPMT) was started under the Baptist Church Foundation by IMB missionaries over 30 years ago. In recent years, the CPMT is increasingly gaining the admiration and support of the Thai government because of the ministry's effectiveness in positively changing the prisoners' behaviors. As chief prison officials give cooperation and support to CPMT, the ministry is able to sow seeds among the inmates in additional prisons through Bible studies, Christian morals training, language learning, and various other ways. At last count, the CPMT had programs in over 60 prisons and juvenile detention centers, in addition to a halfway-house ministry.
