INSPIRING HOPE THROUGH TRANSFORMATION
"'I'm representing not only myself as a father, as a husband. I'm representing myself as a restored citizen.'" —Maurice
There's a mental image that has stayed with Maurice since his incarceration. It's the memory of a visit from his daughter, then only a toddler, and her mother while Maurice was in prison. He still remembers how his daughter looked up at him from the other side of a glass partition.
"Only through the little glass, I couldn't touch her. I couldn't hug her," Maurice explains. "I couldn't do any of that … I didn't have any relationship, any bonding with her."
After the visit, Maurice watched his family walk away, heartbroken by the knowledge that he couldn’t be there for his daughter like she deserved. A lot like Maurice's own dad hadn't been there for him.
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.
