INSPIRING HOPE THROUGH TRANSFORMATION
“I don't know how to explain it to you, but this is a level of Christ that you have never experienced until you walk into this prison.” —Sharee
At a volunteer meeting, Prison Fellowship Academy® Director Tammy Franklin, who served at Mabel Basset Correctional Center at the time, had us go around the room and explain why we go into prison. I don't think there was a dry eye in that room.
Each volunteer's story was so personal and represents the love of our Father, and the never-ending abundance of grace and mercy on our lives. Several of the volunteers were formerly incarcerated women themselves. The love of Christ oozes out of them. Above all, they want to give back and to share the very same that was done for them—to speak life into these women and let them know it's not too late, it's not over, and they have so much value.
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.
