Jack Sutton Ministries, through its' "Jacob's Well" outreach ministry provides food, clothing, and spiritual help to those in need. Through its prison ministry, Jack Sutton Ministries provides spiritual help to prison inmates at various facilities operated by the Louisiana State Department of Corrections.

The proceeds will help support Jack Sutton Ministries' efforts to reach hundreds of homeless and disadvantaged individuals annually through its ministries, which include programs for inner-city children; a coffeehouse ministry; a discipleship program for substance abuse recovery; and an adult literacy program.
