BECOME A MONTHLY PARTNER
Incarceration is a national crisis directly impacting 7.2 million Americans. Families are broken. Children are left without a parent to care for them. When you become a Monthly Partner, you help remove the crippling power of crime from neighborhoods across our nation.
Your faithfulness will help us share the Gospel with prisoners and their families, distribute Bibles and resources, deliver discipleship and practical skills classes, minister to hurting children, and so much more!
Your generous gift today will grow the body of Christ inside and outside prison walls.
GIVE A LIFE-SAVING MESSAGE
“…He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound.” – Isaiah 61:1
There is only one power that can break through the darkness and hopelessness of prisons and that is the restorative power of Jesus. Prisoners become acutely aware of a need for love and a purpose soon after they are incarcerated but there is no help for them in sight.
Many prisoners have never stepped foot inside a church or heard the name of Jesus, but you can bring the church inside prison walls.
Your generous gift today will deliver the life-saving message of the Gospel behind prison walls.
DELIVER AN ANGEL TREE CHRISTMASL
“Every good and perfect gift is from above…” – James 1:17
When we think of crime and its impact, we naturally consider the prisoner and the victim. Yet there is a group of 2.7 million people who are often forgotten. They are the innocent victims of crime – the children of prisoners.
These little boys and girls yearn for their absent parents’ love. They do not see the damage of their parents’ crimes. They see their mommy or daddy who is not at home to give them affection, affirmation, or security. These children are overwhelmed with sadness and confusion.
You can help bring the love and comfort of Christ to these little victims of crime through the delivery of a Christmas gift, a message of love, and the Gospel given to a child on behalf of their incarcerated parent.
Your generous gift today will deliver Christ’s love to hurting boys and girls across the country this Christmas.
TEACH THE GOSPEL
“Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness…” – Hebrews 5:13
In Hebrews, believers are encouraged to mature in their faith, and as men and women in the free world, we are blessed with access to an endless supply of resources that will help us grow in our knowledge of God and His Word.
Prisoners new to the faith thirst for the satisfaction that comes with growing deeper in love for the Lord, but their opportunity to do so is limited.
Your generous gift today will equip us to send trained volunteers inside prisons all across the country to facilitate Bible studies or seminars that draw prisoners closer to God.
PROVIDE A REFUGE FOR HURTING CHILDREN
“…whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.” – Matthew 18:5
For prisoners’ children, playtime is often absent from their daily lives. They are forced into maturity beyond their years, struggling with the loneliness and shame that accompanies their family situations. They feel that no one understands and no one cares.
Certain times are even more difficult for children like summertime. That’s why we provide refuges like Angel Tree camp so that children can meet new friends, are mentored by Christ-following counselors, and simply get to be a kid! And when children are connected with a church family, they get the love and support they need to grow in the Lord.
Your generous gift today will provide safe havens for these precious boys and girls to have fun, to learn, and to experience God in new and powerful ways at summertime and all year long.
REBUILD SAFER COMMUNITIES
“Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.” – Isaiah 1:18
Approximately 1,900 prisoners a day return from our jails and prisons to our communities each year.
Many of these prisoners commit the same crimes after release because their hearts aren’t changed or they carry the inevitable stigma that comes with a criminal record. They can’t find work or the support they need to lead successful lives. By redeeming and restoring broken men and women, God will use them to lead the transformation of their prisons, families, and communities.
Your generous gift today prepares prisoners for success on the outside, helping them to become disciples of Christ and not repeat offenders.
PROVIDE BIBLES & CHRISTIAN RESOURCES
“All scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness…” – 1 Timothy 3:16-17
Reading the Bible satisfies longing souls in need of God’s truth. For many prisoners, the gift of the Bible is the first critical step to dedicating their lives to Him and the only avenue in which they can grow.
Your generous gift today will provide Bibles, Bible study materials, or other Christian resources to prisoners and bless them with freedom through the delivery of God’s Word.
SUPPORT FAMILIES DEALING WITH INCARCERATION
“Let the little children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.” – Matthew 19:14
It’s God desire for families to be healthy and united. As Christians, we have the blessing of being a part of two families – our family at home and the body of Christ.
You can help equip churches all over the country to reach out to prisoners’ families with the love of Christ and a time of fellowship. Children can participate in discipleship gatherings where they can play and learn about Jesus. They can write letters to their parent in prison and also receive the basic care and mentoring they need. Caregivers are given the opportunity to receive coaching on critical life skills that will enable them to better cope and model good skills for their children.
Your generous gift today will help protect and equip these vulnerable families and give them the support they need in the body of Christ.
PROVIDE BIBLES & CHRISTIAN RESOURCES
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the end of the age.” – Matthew 28:19-20
Sinners saved by grace are God’s chosen vessels for bringing light and hope to the culture. Your gift today will help give prisoners the opportunity to become those vessels – evangelists, turning their lives around for the glory of God. They become leaders of the church behind bars and continue their ministry after returning back home to their communities.
Your generous gift today will help prisoners grow into spiritual leaders, transforming prison culture and communities all across our nation.
