As the year comes to a close, our Executive Director wanted to share a brief update regarding how God is using your investment to transform lives. Recently one of our students told of the moment he received his acceptance letter into the program. He burst into tears, because “it was the first time in my life I felt like someone believed in me!”
Your support makes a tremendous difference in the lives of these men,
their families, and the community.
Please consider a year-end gift to support this transformative work that is
sending ripples of hope through the prison system every day!
We thank you in advance for your support.
