Prison Fellowship Restoration Partners give every month to resurrect hearts among America's incarcerated and their families.
Men and women in prison are often caught in a generational cycle of crime and incarceration. Together, we can work to restore them to God and their families.
Some kids never really have a chance. Maurice was one of them. “I didn't have those godly role models,” he remembers. Hungry to belong to something, he joined a gang. Trouble with the law inevitably followed.
Sent to prison several times, Maurice desperately wanted to change his life. But no matter how hard he tried to change, Maurice says, “I found myself back in the same dark place.”
When Maurice was almost out of hope, a group of Prison Fellowship volunteers came to visit the prison where Maurice was incarcerated.
Before long, the change that had eluded him for so many years was beginning to happen.
It didn’t happen overnight but, with time, a new Maurice emerged—a godly man of character and conviction—a man that his family, and everyone else, can depend on. Today, he is out of prison and serves as a field director for Prison Fellowship, leading teams of volunteers that minister to prisoners, just as he was ministered to.
That's him with his daughter in the picture.
As a Restoration Partner, you will have a part in writing more stories like Maurice's every month.
Our programs for prisoners and their families are designed to change hearts and minds so that when families are reunited, they are reunited for good.
Many people who leave prison will offend again and go back behind bars. We're committed to breaking this vicious cycle of crime, and helping men and women become productive citizens of their communities.
From our very foundation in 1976, Prison Fellowship has been focused on introducing prisoners nationwide to a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ.
Ministries like ours exist only because of God's grace and your generosity. As a Restoration Partner, you can trust that every dollar will be used wisely.
Your monthly gift will help prisoners find their way out of darkness and into the light of God's Word. Your gift will provide year-round ministry for children with an incarcerated parent, reminding them that they are loved during the separation.
Join today and your first Restoration Partner gift will be DOUBLED thanks to a generous matching grant.
