Chaplains are invited to recommend a Christian inmate and submit examples of their drawing and storytelling abilities either by postal mail or electronically. (Any prison ministry worker or family member may also help identify potential candidates who are good artists and storytellers, but only prisoners who receive a written recommendation from their chaplain will be eligible.)

Volunteer comics professionals will review all inmate samples and recommendations. When a viable candidate is identified, arrangements will be made with the chaplain for 1 or more volunteer comics consultants to spend several hours with the selected inmate.

These consultants will offer advice and instruction on producing or refining the inmate’s personal testimony as a 7-page mini-comic similar to the Bill Corum "Heart of Stone" comic as described above. (If in-person consultations are not possible, the inmate may be assisted via correspondence.)

The selected inmate will produce their finished comic pages in pencil. A Christian comics professional will ink and letter the comic to prepare it for reproduction.

The selected inmate will receive at least 1 copy of the printed mini-comic (more if their prison rules permit it) and a special Christian Comics Collection containing 1 copy each of 12 different Christian comic books and graphic novels. The Collection may include the following comics, although some substitutions may be made, depending on availability of these comics at the time the collection is awarded:

Manga Messiah Shelter of Wings Sadhu Sundar Singh Revival Among the Zulus

Amazing True Life Stories Amazing Gospel Behold 3-D Eternidad

PowerMark Series 1 Hairy Polarity Sorcery Satire Christian Comics 2005 ICCC2

Their chaplain will receive 2000 copies of the selected inmate's comic for distribution within their prison or local community.

Additional copies of selected inmate's comic may be distributed in prisons across the US, to families of prisoners, and/or to "at risk" youth, through partnering ministries.
