We got to be a part of the most heartwarming reunion earlier this month in St. Louis! In one of our special Family Reunification events, eleven incarcerated men got to embrace their kids and family members for a Christmas night to remember. This was such a much-needed ray of hope at this time, especially, because an offender had been executed earlier in the week. These men needed the arms of their family and a reminder that God is there with them, even in the darkest places.
One family had NEVER gotten to spend Christmas with their incarcerated loved one, and another hadn’t seen their grandfather for Christmas in 25 years… and he got to paint his little granddaughter’s fingernails! It was a beautiful reunion all around as the families got to enjoy A Charlie Brown Christmas and freshly popped popcorn, receive toys and stuffed animals, and celebrate the joy of the season– together.
This example of Christ’s love means the world to these men, women, and their children, and it’s only made possible by the generosity of our incredible donors. If you’d like to be a part of life change like this at Christmas and throughout the year, please click over to the DONATE button at the top to give!
For the first time in history, a father–daughter dance was held inside Louisiana State Penitentiary, one of the most well-known maximum-security prisons in America. A place once referred to as the most dangerous prison in the nation became, for a few sacred hours...
A heartwarming prison ministry event brought fathers and children together for a day of hope, healing, and restored family connections.
There has never been a greater urgency to reach men and women behind bars. The cycle of generational incarceration is massive, but together we get to do something about it. Whether you choose to give once or monthly, know that your donation is not only helping here on earth, but is changing eternities forever.
