INSPIRING HOPE THROUGH TRANSFORMATION
"Any kind of positive influence in my life as a kid would have helped me, but I didn't have any—not one."—Oscar
Ten-year-old Oscar was eating a slice of pizza when the police kicked down the door and arrested his mother's boyfriend.
"They snatched me up," Oscar recalls. "[The police took] me outside, they lay everybody down. Everybody in zip ties, handcuffs."
Oscar watched as the police led his mother's boyfriend away from the auto mechanic shop where the young boy spent his time after school. "I never saw him again after that."
Although it was a terrifying experience, Oscar had seen worse. Just the year before he had witnessed a man at a house party get shot in the hand.
Men and women in prison are looking for hope. And nothing provides hope like the living Word of God. The demand for Bibles and Christian content is at an all-time high. Will you help us meet the need? Please give generously today.
