Lighting the Way to Redemption
In the United States, our ministry reaches out to thousands of inmates daily, providing them with the pastoral care and spiritual direction they need. We believe in the potential for change, the promise of redemption, and the value of every human being. Our chaplains are present in a growing number of correctional facilities across the United States bringing the Gospel to those forgotten behind bars.
Even though there are things they have done, God can redeem all of that. They aren’t too far from His touch. God does have a plan for their life and He can use them for His glory.
-Chaplain Tarron Howe (Former Inmate)
