As we step into a new year, we are filled with deep gratitude and bold vision for what God is doing through prison ministry across the country.

Every single day, lives are being changed behind bars.

Inside prisons throughout the United States and beyond, men and women are encountering God in powerful ways. Many are discovering true freedom for the first time, not the absence of walls but the presence of hope. We are witnessing hearts soften, faith awaken, and futures begin to take shape, often in the most unexpected places. It is humbling. And it is holy ground.

God is opening doors in prisons across the nation

At the same time, new doors are opening in prisons across the U.S. and around the world. These doors represent more than access. They represent opportunity.

Opportunities to:

• Support incarcerated men and women with faith-based prison programs
• Strengthen and reunify families impacted by incarceration
• Walk alongside returning citizens as they re-enter society
• Invite the free world (us!) into the redemptive work God is doing behind bars

This is what prison ministry is all about: restoration, reconciliation, and reminding people that their story is not over.

None of this work happens without faithful supporters who choose to give consistently

Monthly giving is one of the most impactful ways to support our ministry. It allows us to plan responsibly, respond quickly when new opportunities arise, and steward every open door with care and integrity. When a prison says yes, we want to be ready with volunteers, resources, programming, and prayer!

Your consistent support means:

• More incarcerated individuals reached with the Gospel
• Stronger support for families affected by incarceration
• Greater stability as we expand faith-based prison programs
• Faster response when God opens new doors

An invitation to go deeper this year:

If you are not currently a recurring giver, we would love to invite you to consider starting a monthly gift as we move into this new year. If you already give monthly, you might prayerfully consider increasing your gift as we step into a season of meaningful growth.

Your generosity sustains this work. It supports the people we serve. And it ensures that when doors open, we are ready to walk through them with faith and excellence.

In the months ahead, God Behind Bars is stepping into several significant initiatives, each one rooted in our mission to bring hope, healing, and transformation to those impacted by incarceration. We truly cannot wait to see all that the Lord has in store.

Thank you for being part of this mission. Thank you for believing that no one is beyond redemption. And thank you for standing with us as we continue this life-changing prison ministry together.

With gratitude,
The God Behind Bars Team
