When I think about God now, the word that comes to me is ‘rock’. My childhood was so unstable, but He is my foundation and my rock.

Nikki grew up as a child of incarcerated parents and hid that fact starting at an early age.
She masked her pain, made up stories about where her parents were, and endured the whispers: “Don't leave [Nikki] downstairs by herself. She might steal something, [just] like her mom.”
The words stung deeply and followed her into adulthood. But when she volunteered with her church at a Prison Fellowship® Hope Event, Nikki found belonging.

Terry’s early life was shaped by hardship. He looked up to his uncles as male role models, admiring them for their family values—and for their drug use and prison stints. By adulthood, he was trapped in a world of addiction, crime, and incarceration. Watch his powerful testimony.
