Growing up, Carlos went to confession every Saturday and mass every Sunday. For the most part, he stayed out of trouble. But, at age 24, he found himself sitting in the county jail for his part in an incident that injured a family member. He faced two serious charges.
While in jail, Carlos wasn’t thinking about God. He didn’t believe anything he learned in church could apply to his life—especially now, as he stared down a long prison sentence.
Now, Carlos realized that neither his church background nor his family nor his attorneys were going to save him from this mess. Being Hispanic, he was afraid he would be pressured to join a race-related prison gang. He even imagined dying in prison.
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.
