When Danny Gonzales began following Christ, he knew he wanted to serve God. But he’d never thought about prison ministry before. Prison, in general, rarely crossed his mind.

Then one Easter a friend invited him to a local juvenile detention center to participate in a drama production. Danny played the part of a Roman soldier guarding the tomb where Jesus’ body lay. This depiction of the Easter story—the Lord’s life, death, burial, and resurrection—made an impact on the audience. When Danny saw their reactions, it moved him as well.

Soon Danny felt God calling him to prison ministry.

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!
