INSPIRING HOPE THROUGH TRANSFORMATION
"When I experienced the stigma of having a criminal record, I wondered how other people would be able
to make it." —Sheena
The day that I (Sheena) stood before the judge here in Guilford County in 1985, I also stood before our Almighty Judge, the Lord Jesus Christ.
I was a single parent, living with my mom. The truth is, I hadn't been a good steward of my money. So, when someone asked if I wanted to make some money on the side, I said sure. This other guy had done it for almost 30 years and never got caught.
But it was fraud, and I knew that I was guilty. Ready to accept my punishment because I did wrong, I went through the whole thing of fingerprinting and getting my photograph taken. I ended up with a five-year suspended sentence with probation.
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.
