INSPIRING HOPE THROUGH TRANSFORMATION
“I often felt like I was on eggshells. You're not allowed to have a bad day. You're not allowed to be human.”—Jon
Jon Kelly has spent years on probation dreading that one misstep could change everything.
"Knowing that in the back of my mind, if I do one little thing wrong, I'll be back in prison—it was just hard to bear," he says.
Over the last decade, Jon has called Chicago home, planted a church on the West Side, and earned his bachelor's and master's degrees. He's a husband, father, and pastor with a passion for sharing the Gospel, supporting new churches nationwide, and serving his community.
It's evident that Jon has left his troubled past behind. But he's still on probation, a form of community supervision, after spending nine years on parole for a crime he committed more than 20 years ago.
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.
