Jeanine Lambert
My background is in Design, Marketing and Sales as well as Teaching.
In 2007 I was asked by the Christian Science State Institutional Committee in California to become a chaplain due to a request from a Level 3 inmate. I said I would try it for a year. I met with this fellow for 10 months. During that time the inmate was healed of a longstanding difficulty that required that he wear a catheter. He had been told he would always need it. I also witnessed his character transform as he became more kind, unselfish and giving. I was hooked! Up until the pandemic, I visited at a men’s Reception Center, a Level 3, a Level 4 as well as private prisons. I have also been at the County jail and Juvenile hall in Kern County. I am currently mentoring as a member of an “Angel Team” and I am in the part time practice of Christian Science.
