“I reached out to my counselor… and accepted Christ.” —Sydney
Sydney was napping the day her father was arrested. A police officer woke her up. Her father was going to jail.
Life changed drastically for the hurting family. Her mother grew depressed. The family lost their home. It was hard to buy food, too. "We ate lots of spaghetti," Sydney remembers, "It's cheap."
In prison, Sydney's father found a relationship with God. "I struggled a lot with trusting in the authenticity of his faith," Sydney says. "To be honest, his apparent devotion had me angry at God. I didn't want any part of it."
Angel Tree asked if Sydney and her brother would like to go to camp. Thrilled at the idea, their mother agreed, but Sydney was less enthusiastic. "No kid wants to feel like a charity case," she reflects. But her mother insisted, so to camp Sydney went.
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.
