Tuan Nguyen had heard good things about the Prison Fellowship Academy®, an 18-month program at the Carol S. Vance Unit in Houston, and he was hoping that it would be a good opportunity for him. Two years into his sentence for drug crimes, he hired a parole lawyer to help him navigate his options. However, his lawyer convinced Tuan that he didn't need the Academy. She was confident that she could get him on parole sooner without going through the program.
"I remember walking out of that parole office that day, and I just felt the Lord prompting me," Tuan says, "and what He was saying was, 'It doesn't matter what you want. It doesn't matter what you want because I am sovereign, and if I want you to go to Prison Fellowship Academy, I’m sending you."
Tuan "shook it off," but he felt an inexplicable pull toward the program, and within weeks, he found himself enrolled in the Academy.
