INSPIRING HOPE THROUGH TRANSFORMATION
"We can reduce recidivism, but it's going to take leadership of people that have been through it, that have done it successfully, for us to actually see it come into fruition."—Marcus
It's easy for prisoners to walk out of prison on release day. But it's hard to re-enter the world they had left behind. Returning citizens face 44,000 legal restrictions on things like what kind of work they can do and where they can live—not to mention the social stigma that comes with having a criminal record.
Marcus Bullock knows firsthand what that's like. He was sentenced to eight years in a maximum-security federal prison for carjacking when he was just 15. He was released in 2004.
Since then, Marcus created a much-needed business, Flikshop, to help other prisoners and their families. Flikshop is an app that helps users take photos from their phones, Facebook, or Instagram accounts and have them delivered directly to a loved one’s prison cell as postcards, for as low as 79 cents each.
BIBLES ARE NEEDED NOW MORE THAN EVER
Prisons across the country are on lockdown due to COVID-19, and Bibles are one of the only ways to still get hope behind prison bars. And nothing provides hope like the living Word of God. The demand for Bibles is at an all-time high. Will you help us meet the need? Please give generously today and your gift will be doubled thanks to a matching grant!
