INSPIRING HOPE THROUGH TRANSFORMATION
“If we can see people as people, in the totality of who they are, and this idea that everyone has potential and value in this world, we would never lock people up for the lengths of time that we do.” —Stanley
Before he was Dr. Stanley Andrisse, Stanley was a young teen slipping into the legal system. Though he wasn't the first of his friends or siblings to get handcuffed, he might have been one of the youngest. The first time Stanley was arrested, he was 14. Soon he had his first felony conviction for selling drugs.
In high school, Stanley earned decent grades and played several sports, but he received little guidance about college or career choices.
After high school, Stanley went to college on a football scholarship. Then, in his early 20s, he was back in a courtroom, facing three separate felony charges after getting caught in a drug raid.
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.
