Five years ago, when the pandemic hit, every door to our prison campuses shut overnight. Just like that, the men and women we were ministering to every single week, gone. We didn’t know for how long. We just knew we couldn’t wait around and hope things would go "back to normal.” So we prayed. We dreamed. We got scrappy. And out of that season, PandoApp was born.

It started as a way to bring church to the men and women behind bars. On a tablet, in a cell, with no stage, no lights, and no live worship. Just Jesus, right where they were. We thought we were building a backup plan. But God was building something way bigger. PandoApp didn’t just help us keep going, it opened the door to reach millions of inmates across the country. And now, we’ve hit a milestone we never saw coming: 1 million recorded decisions for Christ.

That’s one million people who met Jesus through a tablet. One million men and women who now know they’re not too far gone, not forgotten, and not beyond the reach of God’s love. It’s wild to even type! But this is what God does. He takes what feels like a setback and turns it into revival. He takes closed doors and opens up something so much greater. And we just want to say, thank you. If you’ve prayed, given, supported, or even just believed in what we’re building… this is your victory too!

Here’s to the next million!
