CHAPLAIN OTTO MINISTRIES

Chaplain Otto Ministries Veterans Outreach is committed to supporting veterans facing tough challenges. Using a nationally approved Faith Based Anger Management course.
We see incarcerated veterans as the modern-day POW/MIA – They are a prisoner of the war in their mind and are missing in action from the ones they love.

Our class experienced a significant expansion, surpassing our initial expectations. We welcomed 47 incarcerated veterans and 17 general population inmates, who collectively completed our 12-week program in 2024. This remarkable achievement resulted in a total of 63 graduates.

Our organization is dedicated to reaching individuals incarcerated in Ohio’s correctional facilities. Chaplain Otto has been actively involved in scheduling, facilitating, teaching, and preaching since 2019, having completed over 150 outreach trips to prisons.

We have had the privilege of serving, preaching, and teaching in various locations, including Lucasville, Lebanon, Lancaster, Chillicothe, Pickaway, and will be expanding our reach to Madison Correctional in January 2025.

Through our comprehensive outreach efforts, we have touched the lives of over 1,000 inmates across Ohio’s prisons, providing them with a lifeline and reminding them of their forgiven and not forgotten.

Our mission extends beyond the confines of incarceration; we are dedicated to bringing our purpose from prison to the streets. We have garnered significant interest in our initiatives from veterans, churches, and the motorcycle community, allowing us the opportunity to share impactful messages at various events, including bike blessings.
